Mentally Disciplined

The key to losing weight is simple. Everyone knows. Take in less calories than you exert. A balanced diet with zero processed foods get you there immediately. Practically overnight. Think about it. No cheeseburgers and fries or donuts that stuff you to a coma. Just breathing and moving a few times creates something called BMR or Basal Metabolic Rate. On average, men need about 2,500 calories and therefore how much we can eat a day to keep our present weight. ANYTHING over that, whether it's eating or working out shave that away or adds to it.

We all know.
We all don't do it.
Because we get lazy or tired. Which I'm TOTALLY guilty of it.
But we need to exercise discipline. And just function better. Because the older we get the less energy we have to maintain it. And it's just not looking great at the beach. It's also mental discipline for our work.

Too many people, and I mean this...over-indulge in everything here. Alcohol (me), women, drugs and so forth. It's because we have an addicts mind. Which means we are all or nothing. So having this mentality makes us loss our shit if we don't get what we work so hard for. A mentally disciplined person is disappointed but continues on. In the case of our whack business, as I'd advised, at your peril (since nothing here ever makes sense). Mentally tough people tune out and focus on their goals. They have mantras about life but don't pummel others with them (born again Christians). I work with people now in their 60's who panic a lot. They've obviously seen some bad things happen in their careers, but none of which seems to have motivated them to do more.

I'm doing my best to maintain mental discipline as well. Shaving off fat. Mental fat and physical. And trying to live a more organized life. Something feels much more rewarding when you get things done.
