I am losing about two pounds a week, double what I lost while maintaining a diet and riding a Peloton for 30-40 minutes a day, five days a week. While I have continued to lose weight, and…

By Leo Babauta When most people try to start a new habit — like exercise, meditation, waking early, journaling — they tend to try to go as hard as they can. And in doing so, they set themselves up for failure. I have a friend who wanted to start running, for example. Every time they ran, they would do it as fast as they could, so they were always really winded. That’s Too Fast, Too Soon (title of my new action movie franchise).
