It's clear that I suck at sticking to the regimen, and "motivation" sucks. I need to make things more automatic because I don't love any of work outs, diets, etc. Things I love - playing tennis, riding bike, eating good food, cooking relatively healthy, I have no problem with that. As a result, my body stays the same (pretty healthy), and not much of "maintenance" like crazy diet or exercise needed. Just auto-pilot the food and regular exercise and my body stays at 165lb with 18% body fat. The question is, how to develop the good habits that stick. I'm not going to say "I'm going to this for the challenge" any more. Trying to motivate myself does not work. Motivation always burns out and the result is that it's a waste of time. Well, I tried a few things and some did work, like cooking more often and cooking healthy. These worked because these are concrete actions. Also, when it's too much, I get demotivated doing things. So, instead, I'm going to do some game plan for something healthy that sticks. Right now, I don't have a plan. The goal of this challenge is to come up with plans and implement. # Sorry that this is going to be probably most boring thread in the NF challenge.
