Back at it again

I kind of found my plan by accident the other day while wishing I could get my paycheck right away after a particularly rough day. To calm myself down a bit I found the logic- well sure it would be great to have the fruit of my labor right then, but I have a pay schedule that my employer uses and it's just not gonna happen. It sort of clicked that I don't get to have my weight loss results immediately after doing the work out (or immediately after choosing fruit over a brownie for example).

So I designed a simple plan: I have two week chunks as my only focus. It's not about sticking to the plan for forever, it's about understanding that work done today doesn't pay off for two weeks. I wrote my pay period schedule in my calendar and am also using it as my weight loss plan. I set two week goals, one chunk at a time. I have a reasonable calorie goal and know how to eat properly and now I only have to focus on doing it for this two week period, and I'm 100% certain that I will see a result at the end just like I'm 100% certain I will get my paycheck: I did the work!

I decided to go this route in the middle of a pay period and am calling this week practice, getting back to logging consistently and paying attention to the balance of my nutrition and keeping it simple. All the same foods just less of them.

I wanted to add that the idea with this concept is that if I don't work, I don't get paid and also that i have a crazy high work ethic. I wouldn't slack at work and I won't slack at my weight loss either (cause I want that paycheck, in fact I need it in many ways making it essential huh?)
