The scale edged up a little--- TEMPORARILY. I'll call it a gain of a pound and use that as motivation to get my rear in gear (and thus, outta here!) and adjust my focus for better results. My goal this week is to drop one pound by Friday.
I throw the word "focus" around quite a lot and offer my apologies - if that's required. It's one of those concepts that I really bought into way back when I first started reading about self improvement and later going to all the seminars and listening to tapes about that all-illusive successfulness that myself and all my peers clamored after. Tony, Tom, Zig and the rest were all about focus in one form or another; a consensus mindset that suggested that whatever I focused on was sure to be achieved. I came to believe just that.
I use retrospect quite a bit to figure out what either- landed me in whatever hot water I found myself in, or helped me to realize just how lucky a guy I truly am. I figure then it's just a case of focus and/or avoidance to get me where I need to be. In retrospect, it's no surprise that I prefer the focus side of the equation- since focus typically results in improvement; while avoidance, in saving my bacon, really only helps me maintain or restore a previous condition.
So here's to FOCUS, the all-powerful gateway my humble and meager success.

Don't feel too bad about that pound. Over the last month I've packed on 10 lbs thanks to a combo of being sick, eating like a pig, and spending several days trapped in a car driving around the country. Time to seriously recommit and work my tail off.
