Plateau of Plateaus, Black Swans and Rebellions

I am coming to the end. What a year man.

I had promised myself that I would not let work get in the way. And honestly, it didnt too much but it did a bit.

I am at a work plateau. And I am at a weight plateau.

My friends are getting sick. One guy got a stroke. Everyone is stressed out from work. And the big boss is going on a sabbatical.

Work is so not worth it at the expense of my health. Weight, running. etc.

I am not going to let work fuck with my goals!

To fix this, I need to build up my energies. And go on attack mode.

Just because your body can do it, doesn’t mean you have to! You don’t need to go all out!

Rebellion of the body

My body wants to eat a deep dish pizza, get fucked up on booze and play games and not run for a whole month. Should I let it? Maybe i need to get refreshed mentally. I think I don’t mave too much in the tank right now mentally.

It’s like an F1 car turning into a corner. The goal is not to carry max min speed through the corner but have a good exit …

So maybe thats what this could be. Getting to the Apex, slow down, park it basically, and then come out with FULL THROTTLE

Black Swan Thinking

Weight and calories follow gaussian curve. Standard deviations are low. You will not loose a lot of weight if you basically fast for a few days. And you will not permanently gain if you eat a lot.

Weight loss has to be about shifting the mean over a long period of time.

Compare this to exponential / power law things. Non physical stuff. Viral moments, etc.
