FLD Ressurection. The Second Coming. Day 4.
Consistency makes all the difference. If I mess things up consistently, I’ll never get what I want. Fortunately, it’s only Thursday, day four of my fat loss journey. I’ve done many things wrong, but three days isn’t long enough for my errors to be called consistent.
The big idea that got me started was The Newcastle diet. That diet worked so well when I used it that I was all fired up to do it again because I’ve gotten too fat. When I was a Newcastle diet virgin, I lost four kilograms in the first week. I know the results can be mind-blowing. But so far this time around, the results are no such thing. The end of the first week has yet to arrive. But I hadn’t lost any weight after 48 hours, and I’m not confident I’ll have lost any after 168.
Writing this down is making me reflect. There is actually more of the week left than elapsed. So I still stand a very good chance of losing weight by Sunday. I’ll weigh myself on Sunday and write about it. I might weigh myself before then, just to see how good, or bad, things really are. Do I feel skinnier? Yes. Do I look skinnier? Yes. But I want to see a significant change in my weight on the scale. It’s not the only measure, but it is the one I want to influence.
I’ve already eaten today, even though it’s only 1:12 pm. I ate hours ago. It was a late breakfast. I ought to wait…
