I need to go back to doing what works

When I started this Hundred Day Head Start on September 23, I wanted to break some rules and see if it made a difference. I threw out the spreadsheets I used to plan my daily exercise and log my daily fat, carbs and protein. I didn’t want to be tied to anyone’s methodology, including my own.

That isn’t working.

I’m having too many bad days. I’m inconsistent, and scrambling to lose a pound a here and a pound there. I have to face it, I NEED structure.

So, I’m going to pull those things from the virtual wastebasket, dust ‘em off, and rebuild them. I’ll write more about them tomorrow, maybe see if I can make them available for download here as well.

    It’s such a learning experience, isn’t it? We’ve all got to figure out what works for us, and it’s remarkable to me how much variety there is.

    Aside from logging my weight, I can’t handle the amount of structure you describe. I get too obsessive, which is just differently unhealthy! I’m glad you are sorting out what works for you, though.

    Structure is the only thing that works for me. But I do try to focus on health and feeling well - rather then just numbers on the scale.

    Hey Tim - where are ya?!

    Hope everything is okay and you are still on plan - I have been surprised not to see anything here in almost a week.

Got something to say?
