"I am persistent." -one of my power slogans I repeat during my runs
EDP's thirteenth dimension is being Persistent.
I am trying to lose some weight. I let myself go and got up to 229.6 pounds. Crazy!
So starting with July 16th I woke up and started paying attention to my weight. The first week I added yoga in the morning and evening. In the same time I started eating better and recording all the food I eat and exercises using the Myfitness app. The result was 223 pounds by July 22.
Not happy with this level I then added running up and down a hill for 36 minutes and eventually got up to 72 minutes. How? By repeating my power slogan sentences like the one above.
July 29 I morning weighted myself at 215. Impressive! But I am not done. This week has been a week of plateau. I have jumped up to 218 and down to 216. Losing weight is not linear. The body does not always respond immediately.
So what is my goal? 200 by end of August. Crazy? Yes! But with persistence I will accomplish it.
Today's question is:
"How persistant can you be?"
