Medium-long term goals and short-term rewards.
tw: weight, food
I have a long-term goal. By some point in the first half of 2022, I want to be someone who weighs about 200 pounds, fences actively, takes pride in my appearance and style, and cooks most of my meals.
I want to do the following 2x/week through the end of February to start building better habits towards this long-term goal. I'll also set minor rewards along the way, for when I successfully complete two weeks:
- Eat/Prepare all my food at home. No delivery, take-out, etc. (2wk reward: new piece of cookware.)
- Drink a Camelbak of water. (2wk reward: a tap filter.)
- Exercise for 20+ minutes, at least a walk. (2wk reward: croakies for my glasses.)
- Space out my eating well, with 3+ hours after a meal and 2+ hours after a snack without eating. (2wk reward: nice tea.)
- Care for my appearance in the morning, even working at home. (2wk reward: upgraded winter hat. My current one is getting years old and raggedy.)
Not tracking all of these here every day. That way lies exhaustion. But it's something I'm gradually working on in the near future.
