How do I intend to lose 40 lbs?

My strategy is a simple one. Create 2 lists:

1. A “start doing” list, and
2. A “stop doing” list

I got the 2nd idea from Jim Collins, professor at Stanford’s Graduate School of Business and author of Good to Great, who argues that it’s incredibly important to have a “stop doing” list.

• Start doing list – running, biking, in-line skating, getting more sleep, drinking more water, eating snacks
• Stop doing list – eating take-out, drinking caffeine, making excuses
