It is now 2020 and I am still maintaining my weight loss and continue to make healthy choices. Covid-19 has presented all of us with challenges, we cannot allow this situation or any emotional situation to undermine the work you have put forth.
The Mind controls the body - for me what works is focusing on making healthy choices for my next eating opportunity, I cannot stress about the past or even a bad decision earlier in the day; hit the reset button review your health and fitness goals then move forward.
Maintaining motivation is challenging - I have added a new section on the web site in the navigation below on Disc Golf a sport that I have recently ventured into, it keeps with up with the “next opportunity” theme . I have found that if I exercise for the sake of exercising I lose motivation quickly, however I have found success by finding purpose in my exercising - for me surfing has been my primary motivation - every pound that I get lighter it becomes easier to get up and make the critical launch window. Stairs can be a daunting task, however the cardiovascular impact is immense in which my wave count nearly tripped due to my quick recovery time.
Since 2013 I have been supporting local farms though the CSA - Community Supported Agriculture has been the cornerstone of my success having fresh organic vegetables delivered to my community from hundreds of miles away. I meal plan for the week based upon the seasonal vegetables i receive. Having lots of vegetables on hand makes my job of making healthy choices easier.
