NSV - An Emptier Closet

Two weeks ago, I got rid of all my size 20s, 18s, XXLs and many XLs.  

That empty closet must contain a methaphor for other parts of life that now have more space.  For what.. ?

I've got one and half more weeks to lose one and half more pounds to leave the obese BMI category.

Onwards...

Feeding Fat vs Feeding Muscle

While listening to an interview with Lou Ferrigno today on the Adam Carolla podcast, Lou mentioned training intensely now as he did during his body-building days, both with the amount of weight he lifts and how he watches what he eats.

He said something very simple that made a lot of sense:  "Do you want to feed fat or do you want to feed muscle"?

When I make decisions about what to eat, I know I can stay within my energy limits by making nutritionally dense and and muscle-feeding choices, or I can feed fat by eating sliders.  

So, this week, I'll practice Lou's simple, mindful check-in before I eat and ask "Do I want to feed fat or do I want to feed muscle?"

9 months banded.  57 pounds lost.
