[2016-07-10] PRIOR - week ended# 2016-07-10 ( DIET-no-sugar 16 days )
> BEFORE the W/E weigh-in results - I am thinking ...
- my overall WE assessment of - summary of D/F/H =
DIET = daily results ranged from OK -> very good, so overall good ? very good for the week. Overall there were more "transgressions" than last week BUT not too terrible ???
FITNESS = was very good (on plan), so the question is what do i expect AFTER monday's weigh in ( RESULT OUTCOME )
AND what if the 'expectation' is NOT EQUAL to the actual 'outcome'. How am I going to feel about that?
RESULT OUTCOMES ( highighted yellow is the actual result acheived)
- same or +/- 1# = good -
- loss > 1# = very good - -3.0#
- gain > 1# = ??? - WTF, maybe b/c of big loss last week, see pschyology 101 points below
-- dont get discouraged, this is a marathon, not a sprint
-- you are off to a good start,
-- dont get discouraged/frustrated, b/c of bad results
-- hey, you still have your FEELS,
-- next weeks numbers WILL probably be worse ( see Vacation )
ACTUAL OUTCOME - AFTER weigh in = very good - honestly, a little surprised
> ! = no scale - NEED to change the way i am eating,
- I am depending on the 'scale results' to validate/proove/measure ( my progress, )
- FEELS - should validate my results
- LOOKS ( should somewhat validate my result
> sugar - IS this really a NO-sugar diet?
- blueberry pie, exception, not the problem
- blueberries, cherries, tomatoes,
-
> RASH
- essentially we are 15 days in at this point and I am NOT seeing/feeling ANY significant improvement
- TRY harder on + foods,
- TRY harder on - sugar ( less fruit, and ) - realisitically this is NOT going to happen until after next week
- COFFEE cutback
> PRB AHEAD - VACATION
- ] ice cream, ] beer, ] BBQ, ] buns +] cervalet salami, +] cheese
- ] swimming, ] walking
} CONCLUSION(s)
- obsession with weigh loss # #'s is short term and goal oriented, I NEED to CHANGE my thinking around this
- aka i want to say/do > i quit sugar and lost 50# in 12 weeks
-- because that is so much > than i gradually reduced sugar and lost 50# in 12 months,
-- is the DIET ?? no-sugar OR low-sugar ??
- CHALLENGE can I?, do i want to? give up summer fruits ( cherries, blueberries, blackberries, netarines, peaches, ...)
-- i could, BUT i dont want to, right now AND I will anyways come OCT b/c they(the local, in season) will be ALL gone
- and, perhaps most importantly, I dont believe that they can be un healthy ( moderation )
- was 270, goal 210 ,
-- [ april-june - less bread, result= -10],
-- [ july-sept - less sugar ?, more exersize, result= goal=-20]
-- [oct - dec - less sugar +, more exersize, result=, goal =-20 ]
[2016-07-11] TLDR =
> / very good job so far, very good results
[going-forward]
> / focus less on weight #, more on FEELS,
> /REVISE weights and measures - operate blindly
> / seek out interesting healthy foodItems/menuItems,
> / see pschycology 101 points when struggles arise
> /+ rewards system
