How to Stop Being Lazy and Take Control — Day 74

4 min readMay 14, 2021

I actually got to sleep in today, and I started to have some really odd dreams. In one dream, I appeared to be my former out-of-shape self but was somehow pulling off superhuman feats of strength and endurance. I guess my subconscious is trying to tell me that my physique still isn’t as trim as it could be. There may be some truth to that, but I’m not going to stress over it. After all, I’ll lose the weight eventually, and it’s great not feeling like I’m a few fried meals away from a heart attack.

After having breakfast, I went for a jog. My soreness from yesterday had mostly subsided, but I wanted to keep myself fresh for tonight’s workout. My expectations were low since it was cloudy outside, but I was still able to relax my mind and take in the various sights and sounds. Feeling the sun warming your face is always wonderful, but you’d be surprised at how peaceful the world can be against a backdrop of grey. Being more in tune with yourself and nature really opens your eyes to how beautiful life can be.

My dream from this morning must have stuck with me after all because I decided to adjust my schedule to maximize potential weight loss. I’m going to keep enjoying a full, healthy breakfast, but I’m going to forego eating until I work out in the evening on some days. I’m also going to incorporate more cardio into my routine so I can burn more calories. After cultivating such a positive outlook on life, I believe my mind is encouraging, not disparaging–it was simply telling me that I could be doing more. Starting with tonight’s workout, more is precisely what I’m going to do, not just for my weight loss goals, but for every aspect of my life.
