31/10/20 ***I write this posting solely because I want to be connected to you

That's my only motive.

So far, we had exhausted all possible avenues for further advancement in exploring External Affairs.

Naturally, the only way forward is to delve into Personal Affairs.  Well, I don't have much to explore in that area as well other than to talk about what matters to me with regards to the Universe Within.

As you know there are 37 trillion cells in our body with 10 times more microorganisms.  These citizens of ours are governed by the neurotransmitters.  Naturally, I want my citizens to be happy.  That's why I stop introducing impurities into my body.

So far so good.  I can safely say that I now have a healthy environment for my citizens to thrive.  However, I have yet to delight my citizens.  That can only be done when I mobilize my body on a regular basis.  Otherwise, I will not have healthy cells and a healthy microbiome.

To do that I need to be in motion.  To be exact, I have to push my body so that it will continue to become stronger.

This is where I am very weak.  I am Sha the Sloth.  I like to stay in the comfort of CCC instead of going out and sweat.  However, I do know that once I build the momentum, I will be on the roll.  Tomorrow is the first day of November.  Which means I have exactly TWO months to get in shape.

So the first rule is to sleep early.  Then I will wake up early.  The challenge really is not about exercise but rather in reducing my food intake along with quitting Nicorette.

I am too comfortable.  I need to stay hungry.  I need to sharpen my killer instinct.

Here is my plan:

1. Stop Nicorette
2. Sleep early
3. Exercise AHAD
4. Eat OMAD (It has to be)
5. No snacking

It is so simple but it is not easy!  I caved in when comes to temptation.  I don't have enough reference to support my belief.  You know what?  I think I begin to accept who I am now as who I suppose to be.  That is scary.

I have a distorted self-image due to prolonged conditioning.  If I carry on like this, I might accept that I am destined to be obese and thus forgo all attempts to be thin a[s] (and) fast again.

This defeatist mentality has to stop.  I have to give my life a fighting chance.  To do that I HAVE TO TAKE ACTION.

All I need is action.  I need a Massive Action Plan.  Therefore I decided to go on a daily winning streak starting tomorrow.  What it means is I WILL EXERCISE EVERY DAY either morning or afternoon.

I have to live a regimented life.  To become an Athlete4Life I have to be a Spartan.  It's the sadomasochistic life of a soldier.  I used to do that.  Live like the military.  Everything is clock-driven.

Also, I WILL NOT PROCRASTINATE.  No snoozing when the alarm rings.

-------------------------------------------

For the next 2 months, I will stick to my gameplan.  I am always like that.  I mooted an idea, but I will go through a gestation period.  I need a muse.  I need a good reference to start with.

My decision-making muscles are becoming soft.  I need to keep winning one day at a time.  Last year was not that bad.  This year I derailed because I don't have a routine.  Last year, I spend more time exercising that this year.  Partly because I AM TOO COMFORTABLE.

Because of the pandemic, I hardly leave the house.  I become LAZY FAT.  This has to stop.  I got to win in 2020.  I need a Private Victory so bad. 

Let me address my pain points:

1. I will miss chewing Nicorette - that will only last for 2 week
2. I cannot sleep late - if I am tired enough I can enjoy a goodnight sleep
3. I eat a lot - this is a learned behavior, within a month the body adapts
4. I hate cleaning my exercise clothes - I better do it immediately
5. I procrastinate - do it now, be ahead of time
6. My body aches when I exercise - I have to do it regularly
7. I lack discipline - got to have a routine
8. I cannot withstand hunger - drink coffee with salt

These are small matters.  Unfortunately, because I am too comfortable, I tend to avoid the slightest discomfort.
