Default Day 4 of 100 Days

Day 4 of 100 Days:

Got on my scale just now and still the indicator was no lower than
236. Had about 1200 calories yesterday but will get it down further
today. No breakfast, no lunch, even passed up hamburgers (when I
bought one for our son through a drive-through), wine and beer at
home, etc. So now I'm getting in the groove.

In behavior analysis terms people say, "You have to get the rate of
behavior high before you can shape it!" And I think my rate of
following the program is pretty good – that it simply needs a bit of
tweaking.

Yesterday I left our house to go to my office and I walked almost to
the curb to get my car before I didn't see it there and then
remembered that it was in the driveway (ten feet to my right). For
several months, we have been keeping the car of a friend in our
driveway, and he drove it off two nights ago.

It really struck me how automatic it became for me to walk out to the
curb – how quickly that became a habit. And that's a benign,
nonharmful habit. Consuming a six-pack of beer and remaining in the
kitchen in the evening hours can become also become a habit for me,
although not nearly as harmless. One of the things that I try to
remember is that after I have been good for a while, I really don't
miss much the types of things I'm skipping. It's the daily (or hourly
or minute-ly) exposure that is wearing – should I have this snack? How
about that snack? Etc., etc.

Anyway, last night I went up my little hill on my bike – first time
I've ridden the bike in many, many months. Actually, I rode and walked
up the hill.

I'm sure not going to get to my goals in a week, or a month. But if I
keep at it, I will arrive there.

I hope everyone has a great day and that all of us are closer to our
health goals in the days ahead!
Yours,

Caleb

Caleb, don't get discouraged. Keep the calorie intake low‹thermodynamics
will take care of the rest.

As far as exercise goes, it's important for a lot of reasons, but it's a
very time-consuming way to lose weight. I walk at least a mile a day,
usually two or three; however I don't think of this as part of my weight
loss project. Gee, a single Big Mac will easily blow away any good that a
long walk might bring.

Wednesday was a 260 cal day. That's lower than normal for me, but it paid
off‹I'm down another pound. Today I'll do a little more, maybe 600 or so.
This is kind of exciting. Rather like speeding down a foggy highway knowing
that somewhere there's a brick wall ahead. Oh well, I should be good for
another couple of weeks.

Hang in there,
Lazy

Lazy -- Seems to me that you're in your groove now! I'd imagine your
physician would be pleased with your progress!

I sure agree with you about exercise. I think it may be very important
but the silliest thing in the world to visit a health club and then
stop at a Baskin and Robbins on the way out the door. Get control of
one's calories and much of the other problems will resolve themselves.

Keep it up!

Yours,

Caleb
