Day 23

Goal Setting.

So I'm near the end of my 30 days of dieting. And I'm thinking about doing another 30. "Sadistic" is the word you're looking for. But the reality is, I still have weight to lose.

Which brings me to today's topic. Until now, my goals have been relatively vague. Reason 1 was because I didn't know what to expect from this diet. Reason 2 was because I didn't want to look like an ass if I didn't achieve anything. But I'm going in to the final week feeling confident-ish, so I'm going to set some firm goals for the rest of the week and all of the next round.

Here we go:

1. 4 Liters of water a day. By the end of the month you'll be able to set a watch to my pee schedule. Not that you would. Or should. But you'll have that option.

2. Train every day. Whether it's yoga, rock climbing, swimming, taekwondo, running, soccer, indo-boarding, or some other random task I can subject my body to, I'm going do train every day. Without exception. For at least an hour. Bam.

3. Track calories. It's not required for the diet, but I think it will help me see results. So I'm doing it. And I'm sticking to estimates to avoid becoming homicidal.

4. Achieve below 20% Body Fat. Six pack optional, but preferred.

5. Weigh below 120lb. I'll take 119.5. Or if I buy a new scale that doesn't round to the nearest 1/2 pound, I'll take 119.9.

6. 25" waist. Without sucking in... a lot.

Ambitious? Yes. Do-able? We'll find out.


FYI, I'm hoping today was my "peak" day, because I still haven't recovered from my binge day (could have been the second serving of nachos that did me in...). Last week it took until Thursday to start losing again, so we'll see if history repeats itself.

Current weight: 133.5, which means I better have a really aerobic sleep if I want to be back on track for tomorrow.
