Day 15 of 100 Days
Day 15 and lost another pound – I'm at 229 this morning.
So, seven pounds gone. Had more calories yesterday than I should have – about 1500. But also had a nice 300 calorie stroll up our hill so that brought the total down to about 1200 calories. Still too many and I will be better today. I'm reminded oftentimes of the Aesop's fable of the frog that is placed in a pot of water and the water is placed on a fire. Before the frog knows it, he is boiled to death and this is because the water is heated so gradually, the frog is not aware of the change in temperature. But had the frog being placed in the pot when the water was hot, it would have immediately jumped out. I think weight gain (and many other negative behaviors) are like this too, with incremental bad changes occurring, but taking place so slowly that we are unaware of them. For most things, there is no "shining bright line" which separates good behavior from bad behavior and we try to bring about such a separation ourselves. Atkins separates carbohydrates, and thereby eliminates a huge class of extra-calorie foods. Calorie restriction diets also separate good [low calorie] approaches from others. Vegetarians, people who believe in multiple small meals, etc., all are trying to be guided by their own "shining bright line." I'm off to work in a few minutes. Instead of doing a lot of paperwork yesterday, I helped my far better half lay linoleum (now called vinyl sheets) and discovered that I'm going to have to move a water outlet to get the new toilet to work. Interesting problems and something to do over the next several nights. I hope everyone has a very successful and happy week and month ahead! On! ON! Yours, Caleb 236/229/190 Day 15 of 100 Days |
