Focusing

Having a wide angle lens, taking it all in, is a privilege. One I have enjoyed for 5 years now, with my identity lying outside of business life, in the ether of the woods somewhere.

In May 2020 I wrote of my weight goals and narrative focus on co2e.

My weight and fitness has become somewhat of a metaphor for my thinking about CO2e and indeed more broadly metaphor Ipull from in my coaching conversations with entrepreneurs.

in 2020 I learned how to crash my weight

In 2021 I somewhat solidified my identity as a 90kger not 100kger but with a bit of sliding. Upon reflection on the annual data i can that at the end of January was the only time i got down to 88kg in year 2 and spent the rest of the year cruising above the 90kg mark. the failure was that i got nowhere near my 80kg target and didn’t even get to the low of 85kgs that I managed in year one.

The success was that I managed to reduce the delta between the highest weight and lowest weight from 18kgs to less than 5kgs.
