I did it.\u00a0 I bought a new scale.\u00a0 I was gonna buy an ipad but those don’t tell you how much you weigh so i bought a scale and saved $470.\u00a0 My scale is cool and sleek and silvery-y.\u00a0 I thought maybe it was broken though, because when I stepped on it the number it displayed was the wrong number.\u00a0 I mean, it was probably the\u00a0accurate<\/em> number, but it wasn’t the right<\/em> number.\u00a0\u00a0 Sigh…<\/p>\n

Time to take fitness inventory:<\/p>\n

Exercising?\u00a0 yes, but not quite as much as did during training.\u00a0 Monster snow and ice deters me from outdoor runs, but I do belong to the gym in the same building as work.\u00a0 Excuse Score – 80%<\/p>\n

Food Journal?\u00a0 no.\u00a0 I understand this is a terrific idea, a wonderful tool and a proven method of success.\u00a0 So why don’t I do it?\u00a0 hmm… I d’wanna.\u00a0 Excuse Score – 100%<\/p>\n

Nutrition Planning?\u00a0 50\/50.\u00a0 I know, the single serving bag of chips I ate with lunch are not going to kill me, but then I got a craving and had a second and a third single serving bag (and are they really single servings just because it’s a tiny bag?)\u00a0 I own enough tupperware to store food for the US Marine Corps Infantry Division.\u00a0 I could easily start to pack nutritious lunches again.\u00a0 Excuse Score – 50%<\/p>\n

So the point is that\u00a0falling off the wagon is so easy!\u00a0 Winter blues, family commitments, long hours at work –\u00a0it all adds up to a\u00a0triple whammy demotivator.\u00a0 My Excuses are growing faster than the snowmounds on a badly plowed sidestreet.\u00a0 It’s time to take control again.<\/p>\n

I know the scale display is not the only measure of my health, fitness and overall well-being. But it IS a strong indicator of how true to your plan you are.\u00a0 To win at full scale warfare\u00a0I know I have to ditch the excuses, amp up the self-motivation, define my direction and not look backwards or sideways.\u00a0 To thine own self be true.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
