What are we waiting for?

This is it boys, this is war. War on lack of motivation, focus and control.

So, it’s been 10 years since the last update on this blog. Things are, in many ways, still the same.

The key issue still is that I am overweight. I haven’t really lost the weight over the last 10 years. It’s not like I lost it and then gained it back. Nope, I have just slowly gained it.

In recent history, I have tried a few different approaches. The most recent ones include “Salt and Water” and “Flip the Switch”. I think “Flip the switch” was a lot more successful than “Salt and Water”. I am going to continue doing “Flip the Switch”, but make it public on this blog.

Some main things I want to focus on:

• Most likely, once a week at least, I want to make a post here, that summarizes what’s going on. I will have a sort of template perhaps: good and bad. Overtime, I want to minimize the bad I guess.
• I want to give some updates on my running and workouts. I am trying to run the NY Marathon in 2024, and I want to mold my body to be able to do that.
• Once in a while, I will share my latest “plan”. Succinct post about food, workout, relaxation, etc.
• Once in a while, I will share what my current goal is. I am going to do quarterly goals.

Broadly, it is going to follow the Meditations notebook, but mostly focussed on health and wellness.

Quarterly Goals

The goal is something that I am striving towards.

I think this is a good chunk to think in terms of. A year is too long, and course correction can become too lagged. Jan1, Apr1, Jul1,Oct1. I will have an overarching goal (like, NY Marathon in 2024). I will have some quarterly goals that will force me to reflect at a higher frequency. And then I will have weekly updates to address the goal going on at the moment.

Quarterly Plans

The plan is what I am going to use to achieve the goal.

I want to commit certain modalities. And I want to keep switching them up at some frequency. Quarterly frequency makes sense for such a switch. Things that compose a modality are: diet and exercise plan. For the first couple of quarters it will be keep certain calories and focus on increasing running distance.

Weekly Updates

Just share thoughts, updates, how I am feeling, etc. The good, the bad.

Finally

New year. New decade. Learned from the last year and last 10 years. Let reorient ourselves and achieve great goals. Time for transformation is here.
