[EDITOR’S NOTE: I found this blog post just hanging out in ‘draftland’ from December 2nd. I’m sure I had more to say, but I’ve got a new post in mind, so please enjoy this snippet.]
I just had an email pop through from Nerd Fitness, and it is exactly what I needed to hear. We cleaned out our refrigerator last night and threw away too much food that was allowed to spoil. It was better than we used to be, but not as good as we wanted, especially when groceries can be so expensive.
This morning, a Facebook friend posted that he’s gone a whole year and a half without a cheat meal. His goals are current than mine, but I think the dedication needs to be the same.

I was thinking about this when Respawn Day was delivered to my inbox:
” In video games, we die when facing a particularly tough bad guy or challenge, and so we respawn – coming back to life and rejoining the battle from just a short distance away.
When we hit a terrible shot in golf when playing amongst friends, we shake it off, make fun of ourselves, and use a ‘mulligan’ to hit another one.
But in life, when we try to get fit and struggle…we call ourselves losers and give up. We’re ashamed that we tried and failed.”
I don’t know about you, but I’ve sometimes died in the first goomba in Mario. I’ve died so many times playing Guild Wars 2 that I know the respawn soundtrack as well as the environmental ones.. maybe even better. It’s the same with weight loss–each time I go through it, I get a little better.
