Remaining Positive - Achieved 30% of my goal - YAY ME!

Oct 24, 2018

I've been on a detox diet for a day. Yep, we're talking about only 24 hours. It was fuckin hard. I lost 1.8 lbs. Yes this is great yet I was disappointed. My brain was negative and starting beating me up. I checked in with my support groups on FB and learned a few things and won the fight with my negativity. These 3 things turned my shitty view to a positive one:

Tracking Progress:

1. Track percentage of weight lost*
2. Track percentage to goal weight**
3. Take measurements in cm as opposed to inches.

*For those of us mathematically challenged, here is a link to a weight loss %age calculator https://www.fitwatch.com/calculator/weight-loss-percentage/

**Percentage to goal weight calculation. Total lbs to lose from HW to GW = (272 - 130) = 140 lbs. This would be 100% of my goal. As of today's weight what is my percentage? Current weight 229.0. Current amount lost (272-229) = 43 lbs). Current percentage of goal (lbs lost/total pounds to lose *100) =  43/142 = 30% of my goal - YAY ME! wish there was a ticker for this calulation tracker
