One day at a time

In the past, I would plan for too long. I would start visualizing what my weight would be a year from now, etc. Fuck that. It messes things up.

Focus on the next day. Every day the weight has to be the primary concern. This time it’s different. I started this journey on 1 Jan 2022 and I have gone through a lot of evolutions; mentally, etc. I am constantly laying the foundations for the rest of my life. I want the 50 year old me to be in a better situation than I am in now.

This is for my future. And to accomplish shit that I have set my mind on.

And it is tough. Very tough. Losing weight is the hardest challenge I have ever undertaken. I have built weapons for the US military and trading trillions of dollars on the stock market. But this weight thing has been so fucking annoying. So hard.

This time, I am taking it one day at a time. Scrutinizing my weight on a daily basis. Watching what I eat on a daily basis. Tracking it all because this is a good dataset. This time, I know I will be able to do it. I have to do it. I have an overarching goal and this is part of that. The goal is to run the NY Marathon in 2024. And I want to be fit and healthy for that.
