Well, just like that, I'm back up again. Not a big surprise. I haven't been focused on this, haven't been eating well (not terrible but not well), and haven't really been exercising. At any rate, I weighed myself yesterday morning and I was 204.6 pounds and 20.6% body fat (up almost a pound and a half from last week but the same as the week before that).
I was telling my wife yesterday that my weight-loss situation is actually pretty similar to the situation that the planet faces with global warming (see this post). From a long-term health perspective, there is "a substantial (and uncertain) time lag between cause and effect". From a day-to-day perspective, there is "inertia in all the key drivers of the problem [including] ingrained daily habits at the household level". And, from a time-allocation perspective, there are "a set of hard-wired incentives, career and otherwise, that inhibit focused attention and action on the issue". Especially since the end-point for my stated goal is Christmas, I'm currently in the mode of saying I'll start for real next week - that I have time so I'll focus on different things this week. That's like most people saying we have 10-20 (maybe 30-50) years to solve global warming so I don't need to make (inconvenient) changes in my lifestyle or daily habits today.
