I need motivation and support

I was working out today and saw the Part of the Presidents Inaugural address and it tookme to four years ago when I was coping with an upcoming divorce. I used to say devasting divorce because it cost me a job and my home of 11 years. But in reality this divorce was the resolution of my marriage vows nothing more, nothing less and I added the drama, tears and frustrations plus copious amounts of liquor.

I was unemployed for 18 months, but did manage to go from 250 to 220 and I am at 217.8 right now. I am a paleo dude and love this way of diet. We all get fat differently so I am sure there is more than one way to health. I managed to secure a great job and am back with wine. One of my over all goals is to get my wine certification and hit 175 pounds.

I decideded to change my ways when I had a very bad incident with beer, I tend to only have two meals each day and on this day I skipped breakfast and lunch and was introduced to the best beer ever, a Goose Island Bourbon Porter which carries the alcohol of three beers. Let's just say Dad took me to work the next day!! I am 51 years old!! My dad asked me if I needed to go see help.

I had read the Power Of Habit and learned how hard habits are to break. They wrote about how mice are put on electrodes that read their brain. They discovered that first yes the mice were thinking how to get through the maze then once it was learned their brains were not even used. They discovered a more rudimentary part of the brain took over so that the mice could learn new things. So most of our behaviors once learned go into this rudimentary part of our brain without us even thinking about it. I was always losing my keys, after reading this book I made a commitment to always put my keys and wallet in the same place. I have come home not really thinking of what I am doing but I always find my keys now the next day.


I also started reading Super Brain and they made an observation about negative self talk and how this act impacts us for the worse. After my drunken stupor I was so disappointed in myself but this observation came to me about negative self talk and right then and there I made a commitment to change and figure things out.

I composed 12 goals on Dec 1st then I read somewhere where you have to measure and decided to do a 100 day challenge. Today is my last day of the 1st 20 days so I am going to post my work on my goals then try to beat this baseline for the next 80 days and hit 200 pounds.

Goal one-10%
Goal two- 80%
Goal #3. -80%
Goal #4. - 45%
Goal #5. -35%
Goal #6 - 90% exercising
Goal #7 - 75%
Goal #8 - 70%
Goal #9 - 70%
Goal#10 - 40%
Goal 11 - 75%
Goal 12 - 85%

Overall rate is 60.4% so this is my baseline for the next 80 days. 
Weight is 217.8
Certification is a minus.
