Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

I don't mean to sound snarky, but I'm not sure what you're looking for here. I believe I can lose weight if I eat less and exercise more (I've done it a dozen times). I believe if I spend more time on the bike, I'll ride more miles. I don't look deeper than that because I don't think there IS deeper than that.
I don't take it as snarky, it's an honest response!
I just have a very strong interest in the connection to motivation, belief and behavioral change. I should point out that I am a Psychology major after all!
