Re-evaluating my strategy

Posted on | June 2, 2010 | No Comments

In a recent post, I said I’d give up computer/TV/games to work out everyday and lose weight.
I’ve decided I would not give up the computer, so that I can  document the weight-losing experience, and so I can work on learning more about writing websites..  do something PRODUCTIVE with the time away from working out, since I cannot do that all day, obviously.

But today it dawned on me that giving up TV and Games is also quite silly. Not because it’s a bad idea, but because it has nothing to do with my goal.

My goal is to work out everyday until my birthday, so that I lose weight.  I think now, that if I accomplish my workout for the day, I should do what I want afterward.  So, I will work on my site.  I will document my weight-losing experience as I see fit… but I will also enjoy myself by playing a game or watching something on TV (though, honestly, I probably will watch no tv).

So, I will use the things I want to do as rewards for the goal I am setting forth.  If I work out, which I’m about to do after I submit this post, then I can play my games (which, mind you, are strategy games… very thought-heavy).  This I will be doing tonight.

Just wanted to be as public about this as I was about my original strategy.

Now to work out then eat, See ya!
