60 days sounds like a ton of time but in essence, it's just 8 short weeks to my birthday.
Looking back on the plan, I think I can see the end... and I'm nervous. I usually save my energy for most things until they are due. I finish work at the last minute, I train right before, I used to pull overnighters to study. Apparently, I saved up some of my energy till the last minute on this one too.
I have been unusually unconcerned while strangely obsessed with my "turning 40 plan". I think I am a bit of a visual learner so I filled a jar with stones and left it on my dresser as a reminder. One beautiful blue stone for each Sunday left before November 30. Every week I take another stone out of the jar as a reminder of how quickly the days and weeks fly by.
I make choices everyday, and everyday day gets graded on a curve. Yes to the fries, no to the cake, yes to the bland no calorie Special K chips, no to the pizza. I have been trying to change my habits.... but I like my habits. I am forever telling my kids that they need to "step out of their comfort zone" if they are ever going to learn something new about themselves.
I think I should take my own advice.
I thought September was going to be workout month (everyday). Turns out, that might need to be October instead... 1800 calories and 3 days of workouts a week is normal. If I want to see changes I will need to cut back on the cal, and increase the workouts. So goes the plan..
