Leap Year 2016 - 2020

Well today is 2/29/2016. The leap year day only comes around every four years. Where was I weight wise 4 years ago?

If I want to drop 100 pounds to get to 183 as apposed to 283 that really only boils down to about one half a pound for every week.

That would be about 25 pounds a year. How could I not do that a pound of fat weight supposedly comprises of 3500 extra calories. Divide that in half and you have 1750 calories. Divide that into 7 and you get exactly 250 calories deficient a day to lose 100 pounds in four years.

Two less sodas a day. One less cheeseburger a day. Or even better yet. Break it down to whatever you eat for dinner... Serve yourself and then eat half. Then stop and sit in front of it for five minutes saying to yourself;

"You know what? I am really full." Then throw the rest away. You are then telling your subconscious that you were so satisfied you could waste the food.

This one technique was/is a powerful tool since it was a very bad thing to waste good food.

Use today as a mile post and hopefully on 2/29/2020 you can look back as I will and see how far you have come.
