Week 3 of 312. The buffer.
Everyone needs a buffer, and that’s all there is to it.
I’ve designed the SLOT STEADY chart with this profound wisdom in mind. You can see on the chart above that my starting weight is 215.4 lbs. The top trend line begins at 218.4 lbs, and the bottom trend line at 212.4 lbs. The six pounds between these two points make up the buffer.
It’s within the buffer that I can have a bad day or two, a bad week even. It’s a way to acknowledge that my weight isn’t going to go down every week, and that’s okay. Overall, I remain in the SLOT and on the right track.
Why is the buffer 6 lbs, you might ask? I have no idea, other than it just seemed like a good buffer.
My STATS:
- Current Weight: 214.3 lbs
- In the SLOT this week? Yep
- Current SLOT Streak: 3 weeks
- Total Weeks in the SLOT: 3 of 3
