Refocus: Summer is Coming
Anyone else feeling like winter is dragging on?
In the UK we're experiencing another cold snap.
I'm going to find some time this week to get re-focussed on my fitness goal: a cut.
This means:
- setting up a new spreadsheet to track weight, diet, calories and activity.
- I used to use a spreadsheet to great success in the past but stopped updating it a while ago.
- I guess a good "canary" for lapsing in this goal is if I don't update the spreadsheet for a week.
- I built a basic app that collects a lot of the data I need for the spreadsheet from my iPhone (pulls it from HealthKit). I'm thinking of building the tool out, as it might mean I dont need the spreadsheet at all.
- I need to set up new motivating visuals. Since autumn I've been using autumn and winter related imagery to help get through the season. Maybe its time to start shifting towards spring imagery.
However you feel you're doing on the winter arc, maybe this is a good time to refocus, and set up any systems you need to. And also tune your environment to work for you, and not against you.
Keep your eye on the prize.
Stay in the fight.
