I have often wrote about weight loss and the need to keep one’s health at its peak. One big issue is that life takes over. From 2009-2010 I lost just over ten stone (140lbs/63.5kg) by cycling, walking and eating healthily. This gradually returned as life got in the way and more responsibilities meant more things to do. Eating bad stuff is just easier and often cheaper, so on with the pounds it were. I think it’s prudent to mention that I have not put all of it back on in the past 14 years!
After the death of my wife, I lost faith and added more, but found that in the past month or so, I have returned to a healthy feeding ritual and exercise plan. This time I wanted to try semething different. Eating and exercising have reamined unchanged from the past, but I am not currently weighing myself. If you wear a smart-watch, you might know the drag of numbers telling you that you haven’t done enough, this is no different. I am using my body to tell me how I am doing. I can feel the weight that I have lost, but it isn’t without the occasional drive to grab the scales. Wearing a smart-watch, now, helps me to keep up, without comparing it to the number that shows on the mini-weigh-bridge.
The biggest downfall of such a plan is that I do not have a week-by-week account of how I am doing; there is no official outcome, as it were. I may weigh at a later date, but for now, I want to try this out like an experiment. There are many people, millions and millions, that don’t weigh themselves and still gauge their own weight. Health is the grand plan! Not feeling tired and slobbish should be the absolute target, not a number. I will update should I fall into the scales of despair!
