I have to ‘fess up — now — that I won’t actually start this until the beginning of November. I absolutely HAVE to get my neck / shoulder / arm thing fixed before I can even begin to think about regular exercise or planning or anything. Devoting three nights to PT plus one night and maybe one weekend morning to massage therapy, plus work, just leaves no pain-free space. And I am not going to wander Europe saying “Gee, maybe I shouldn’t eat that pastry!” However, I am SO glad that Grey decided to start this and that we can keep it going. I have, upon reflection, realized that I need to set action goals, not result goals. That is, my goal can’t be “lose X pounds” or “lose X inches” or “wear size X.” It has to more like “Go to gym X times” or “Cook healthy meals X times” or “Bring in lunch X times.” But I like the idea of rewards for goals. The problem is that I pretty much buy myself what I want, when I want it. Which isn’t good fiscal discipline, come to think of it. So I’m going to be thinking about actions, action goals, and rewards. I’ll get back to you!
