New Year resolution update

Sunday weigh-in and I've lost another couple of kilos, 6 in total. Only 2 more to reach my target. Unfortunately, having lost it so quickly, I think that if I ease off too soon I'll put it back on again.

This weekend included a bit of exercise though, golf and a swim in the ocean. Golf I had 26pts off a 16 handicap in 35 degrees. Not too bad for someone that doesn't play. I am a member of a great course, so golf is now officially added to my New Year resolution. Not brave enough to commit to playing to my handicap yet. I'll review that over the coming weeks.

Too results oriented

Having got my diet off to a flying start in the first week, I've found myself hoping (Freudian slip) on and off the scales at least once a day. Needless to say, a watched kettle never boils. No positive movement to report.

It would be very easy to give up. I also had a massive apple crumble treat the other night with ice cream which was one of only two deviations. The next morning, no difference. That was tilt material as I felt like going back to my old ways if nothing was making a difference.

I'm now going to stay off the scales between Sunday weigh-ins and focus on just making correct dietary decisions one meal at a time. Does poker mimic life or the other way around?
