Plus these things have been mocking me from my dressing room. Bastards. |
I've heard that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome. (Shut up, Einstein.) But shouldn't that be the key to losing weight and getting healthy? Pick a habit, keep doing it, see results, buy bikini. This seems like a no-brainer. I eat healthy, I work out. I would buy a bikini but no one wants to see that shit (YET). Wow, way to follow my own advice about self-deprication. Next I'll be telling myself I should "practice positive self-talk!" Blegh.
Okay, this is losing focus. Back to the deal - what happens when you feel like you're doing everything right and you're not getting what you want?
Change it the fuck up.
I have 49 days left until my birthday. Seven weeks. I thought to myself "Self, it seems highly unlikely you can lose 15-ish lbs in that much time." And then I remembered I'd done it before. Well there goes that excuse. And as I re-read that post, I realize that I can do that again. I'm going to do that again. Let's start a 7-week challenge together.
Who's with me? If you aren't - why not?
The way I see it, when I'm in a funk, there are two paths - continue to wallow and whine about it, or do something about it. I'm more of a do-er. Here's what I'm suggesting:
- Everyone chooses a goal they'd like to obtain over the next 7 weeks. It can be pound-age, it can be a habit, it can be inches, whatever.
- Pick your goal, send it to me. I've heard rumblings there are lurkers out there that are contemplating contacting me - I want you to! I won't yell at you, I promise. If you want to send me your goal, I can help you set up a goal pyramid.
- We'll talk about rewards - maybe I'll kick in a little something-something for the "winner." Could we do a poll? I'm still fleshing this out. (Flesh is such a weird word.)
I'm going to test out a poll thing. Vote and let me know it works (or if it doesn't, so I can go shake my fist at someone).
(Update: Poll is on the side. I tried to embed one and it made all the colors go super-fugly.)
