我以前的工作是朝九晚五,回到家,看電視,定外賣,熬夜,早上醒來很疲憊,如此惡性循環(huán)。
When I got engaged, I knew that the pictures from our wedding day would be the ones we showed our children years from now and I did not want that image to be what it was I saw in the mirror. I knew I had some work to do (and bless my wife, she encouraged me to be healthier and start walking).
訂婚以后我知道多年以后我們會(huì)給孩子看婚禮當(dāng)天的照片,我不想到那時(shí)孩子們看到的是我現(xiàn)在在鏡子里看到的樣子,我知道自己有事做了(還要感謝我妻子,是她鼓勵(lì)我要更健康并開始散步的)。
So what was the one small life change that improved my health? I set up rules. I set up two rules specifically:
那么我改善健康的生活小改變是什么呢?我設(shè)定規(guī)則。我具體制定了兩條規(guī)則:
1.No matter what, you are going for a walk today.
1.無論什么情況,當(dāng)天都要去散步。
2.No drinking or eating out during the week.
2.一周不出去喝酒或吃飯。
Regarding the first rule, rain or shine, morning or night, I was going to go outside and walk around the neighborhood. Sure there were days where I meant to go but didn’t, and days where something came up and I couldn’t find the hour or two I needed to hit my goal. But by setting that goal to walk every day, I ended up walking around 22–25 days a month.
說到第一條規(guī)則,無論下雨或晴天、早上或晚上,我都會(huì)出去到周圍散散步。當(dāng)然有些天我本打算散步但沒去,還有時(shí)有事了抽不出一兩個(gè)小時(shí)完成當(dāng)天的散步目標(biāo)。但通過每天設(shè)定散步目標(biāo),最終一個(gè)月我走了大約22–25天。
Regarding the second rule, I enjoy drinking socially. So I defined the week as Monday through Friday day. Those 4.5 days I was going to eat healthy. Make my own breakfast daily, prep lunches for the work week, and cook my own food at home.
說到第二條,我喜歡跟朋友出去喝酒,所以我規(guī)定的“一周”指的是周一到周五,這4天半我的飲食很健康,每天自己做早餐,準(zhǔn)備好周一到周五的午餐,在家自己做晚飯。
Then come Friday night, I could go out and have a few beers with my buddies, or stay in and share a bottle of wine with my fiancee, and I would go out to eat on Saturdays and Sundays, basically all rules were off for about 56 hours.
然后就到周五晚上了,我會(huì)出去和哥們兒喝點(diǎn)啤酒,或者在家和未婚妻喝一瓶紅酒,周六周日晚上出去吃,這56個(gè)小時(shí)基本把所有規(guī)則都拋諸腦后了。
While this probably slowed my progress down significantly, I found it incredibly easy to stick to. And since I still stuck to my daily walks, they helped as a reminder to rein in my weekend consumption just a little bit and as my walking progressed, so too did my calorie deficits (at least during the week).
雖然這可能嚴(yán)重減緩了我改善健康的速度,但我發(fā)現(xiàn)堅(jiān)持起來簡(jiǎn)直太容易了。我每天仍堅(jiān)持散步,也有助于提醒我稍微控制一下周末的飲食。散步還在繼續(xù),體內(nèi)熱量也在繼續(xù)減少(至少周一到周五是這樣)。
The end result was a daily calorie deficit of about 1,500 calories during the week and a gain of about 500 - 1,000 calories on the weekends. That worked out to about a pound and a half of weight lost per week.
最終結(jié)果是周一至周五每天減少約1,500卡熱量,周末又增加500 - 1,000卡,算下來每周減掉了約一磅半的體重。
