I don’t want another month to go by and I am at the same weight – I need to change. While it is helpful writing this I feel like I have slid into the habit of writing and not doing. Thinking and not acting. I need to grab this now as my new job now that I am officially retired as of Aug 4

I realized yesterday that I might need some time to do nothing – I was weirdly tired and maybe it has been ramping up to this date. But also realized I am still busy and need to figure out a new morning routine including working out. One thing will be to pick a gym – do I want a trainer, a gym or do I want to be outdoors. Primarily outdoors but I could benefit from people at the gym. Just need to find something to get into the habit of doing. I can start today with walking my dog first thing and then getting my strength workout in at lunchtime – before I settle in for the afternoon of work.

and my attestations in the morning are good but I need to translate these into the habits I want to follow daily – track behaviour and not outcomes. I have been tracking meditation and journaling etc – just not tracking eating and drinking although I say that’s my primary goal of this whole website – time to start to track and make good progress. I think my plan is to have a handful of breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes that are easy and are my go to. I have too much choice and then don’t choose – time to build my fridge etc to support good food choices and regular habits – I will have the time now.

also time to focus on cutting back on drinking – no more celebrating retirement – time to really get serious about non-alcohol habits at night.

I also have to believe I can do this – I don’t have to believe in the 50 lbs yet – I just have to believe J can do this today. And I will.
