Day three, combined goals
So this is day 3 of being back on “the-diet” and also day 3 of yet another feat… no more Wal-Mart.  After being blasted by both Matt and Pete on my podcast for frequenting the discount store, I have decided to try a week without wal-mart. Already I am feeling Wal-drawl, having wanted to go buy a new belt last night.
See, Wal-Mart is close, Target is far. Wal-Mart is 24/7 Target is 8-10 (or is it 9?)
Gah.
I’m not sure what is going to be harder, the weight or Wal-Mart. On a plus side I was down to 212.6 this morning.
Baby steps.
I’ve taken up reading more “success” and “grow rich” books lately. When you boil everything down, they are all pretty much the same. But the fact that they say a lot of the same things probably means they are on the right track. For instance, one of the things they all seem to mention is dressing for success. When I was at Warner Bros., and every job after that, we dressed down. Black jeans, polo shirt, of course the artists always got away with T-Shirts. When I started my latest job, I dressed up for about 6 months then went back to the black jeans and shoes. I hate dressing up because, well, I hate my weight. My dress shirts always look like tents.
To me anyway.
So, that’s why I never dress up. Well, hopefully with the weight coming off again, I can convince myself to dress up a little, more often. It really does make a difference in how you feel when you dress up to go someplace. I can’t explain it. Maybe that’s one of the reasons you always feel good when you go to church. You look good and you know it.
I am keeping my sights on the goal of 185, which is a whopping 27 more l-b’s. Â I am going to try and get down to 200 by November 4/5 (if thats possible) for my cousin’s wedding, but that may be pushing it.
We’ll see how it looks tomorrow!
