Re: Podcast #96: Greenishness
Dear Reinhard!
Thank you very much for this new episode! I mostly agree with the idea of "thinking in terms of habit" and avoiding the YES/NO streak philosophy. It just sounds a little bit like the smart way out with "Greenishness"!
BUT: I recently discovered that my weights starts climbing again. 3 kilos (6 pounds up over the last 1-2 years). One might say that is not a problem as long as I feel good. But I don't. More fat around the belly and stuff. Not a big deal. But a tendency I definitely want to stop and reverse. Now here is the thing: I haven't changed my routine. No S is still going strong. Lot's of beautiful green one could say
Also my exercise program is very stable. I do 14 Minutes every N-Day and I rarely miss a day a month. Again: green it is.
So in the case of weight I have the feeling that thinking habit-oriented is not enough (any more?). I still have a "goal mindset". Or need a goal mindset. Or a combination. Maybe old-age finally gets me? I am turning 47 this year. Or maybe I just need another habit, an additional habit to get the same results (goal) as I got with the No S Diet and 14' Training when I started 10 years ago. Have you observed similar changes over time? I even think from a medical point of view given hormone levels and all that it makes sense that you need to invest more over time to get the same results.
Next question: Any ideas what might help? Any habits being tested in your lab or ideas not tested yet? I could be your guinea pig to test it on
I think about Surgical Flogging (maybe some S-Day-Logging if the weight is above xy on Saturday morning...) - I have not yet tried Surgical Flogging. But is that enough?
Thanks for yours ideas and the work you are putting in!
All the best
Stefan
