Waiting for tomorrow: Counting down the pounds to Election Day

It’s amazing how fast time flies when I’m waiting for tomorrow. For weeks now, I’ve thought: OK: Tomorrow, I’m going to start my health care blogging again. And I will get back in shape. (snort) I don’t know if anyone else has noticed it or not but, it hasn’t happened.

If I don’t do something now — the whole election could be over and I’d have precious little to show for it. But, if I snap into focus? I could lose 15 pounds by election day. And considering how easy it would be to gain 15 pounds by then if I don’t? The incentive is overwhelming.

I have found that making a quick plan each morning keeps the day in focus. Without a plan my days drift by in a pleasant haze. (trembling a little) Can I stick to it this time? Maybe Just Today?


Just 4 Today, I’ll drink my fiber supplement twice, drink 2 liters of water , walk 2 miles, NOT eat between meals & NOT take seconds.

Meanwhile?

What are you going to do today?

    Yeah, I’ve noticed. I figured things got too busy, but I’m glad to see you back. Now KEEP AT IT! ;-)

    Busy-ness is a part of it. But, it’s really the unstructuredness of my days. I don’t have that “Leave for work now” deadline so the days sort of drift by. Luckily, I realized what an impact the next 7 weeks could have if I snapped into focus.

    It’s gotta stick this time.

    Glad your back. I think that this is a great plan, 15 pounds by election day.
    My goal: Just for tomorrow: I will stick to my eating plan and run in the morning.

    Katiebird,

    For added incentive, I am going to add a bookmark for your Eat 4 Today blog right after The Confluence bookmark. This way I can read your blog right after I get my daily fix at the Confluence. I will be back tomorrow.

    {{Trecy}} That’s incentive, Indeed!

    Thank you so much for adding me to your routine. I’m really looking forward to sharing the next seven weeks (or more) with you.

    xxoo
