My 2019 Mantra: Discipline is Freedom. This is from Jocko Willink’s book Discipline Equals Freedom. I realize I need be more disciplined with my diet and my workouts to be successful in losing weight this year.
- Lose weight.
- Intermittent fasting does seem to work for me. I lost weight this Christmas when I was eating at my own schedule. But I realized I need to be much more disciplined. I’ve been experimenting on fasting cycles too. I’ve been able to eat one meal a day as well as 2 meals within 8 hours. But I can’t decide which fasting cycle is ideal. I honestly have had a difficult time trying to adjust the eating/fasting cycles so that the fasting cycles coincide with normal working hours.
- As part of this weight loss program, I’m going to consciously add 1 day a week of relatively moderate weight lifting exercise as well as core training. This will be recorded in the journal.
- My goal is 10 lbs/ quarter. By the end of the year, I will be approximately 220 lbs. I’m currently at 260 lbs.
- Fasting / Food Journal
- I intend to log my fasting start and end time for the full year.
- I intend to log a food journal as well too.
- I intend to record the weight lifting and core exercises.
- Read 4 books.
- Obesity Code by Jason Fung
- Wooden by John Wooden
- What’s Mine is Yours by Rachel Botsman/Roo Rogers
- Priceless by William Poundstone
- Travel three times this year.
- Planned: Okinawa/Taiwan
- Within US, I’d like to visit New Orleans, Seattle, Atlanta, Houston.
- Outside US, I’d like to visit Australia, New Zealand, Iceland.
- Play 1 hour of Piano a Day.
- Learn all three movements of the Moonlight Sonata aka Piano Sonata No. 14 in C♯ minor Op. 27, No. 2. I actually know most of the 1st movement but I don’t play it enough to remember.
