It can be difficult to stick with a plan when you don't see the progress you want, but it is important to stay with the plan to let it work. I stuck with my plan yesterday and I was rewarded in a huge way.

Yesterday we were going to go out to eat after work and our plans changed. I had planned on skipping breakfast, knowing that I would be going out for dinner. It turns out that I was able to skip breakfast and lunch, so I was well prepared for the evening. After work we decided not to go out to eat but to stay home. We waited to eat as we watched The Day of the Jackal and we became so engrossed that we ended up not eating. That explains how I was able to lose nearly 3 pounds in one day.

Today is going to be a difficult day. It is a weekend so I don't have structure to my day and then we are going to go Christmas shopping and then to a Christmas party tonight. The party is going to be wonderful with a lot of friends to see, There will be a ton of food and it is going to be difficult to avoid eating way too much food. If I can keep from eating what I shouldn't tonight I hope to maybe lose weight, although after losing nearly 3 pounds in one day I don't expect that to happen. Let's see if I can at least keep from gaining weight. We'l see what happens today and we'll see what the scale says tomorrow morning.

Sometimes You Just Have To Do It! 235.4 pounds, + 3.9 pounds today, + 1.6 pounds this week, - 18.6 in 2025, - 97.6 pounds overall

How do you celebrate big events in your life? I'm trying to not have all of my celebrations be about food, but last night I couldn't help myself. We had much in our family to celebrate so we went to Lolo's, a wonderful restaurant in Stillwater, Minnesota. I ate just about everything on the menu. I had two appetizers, a main dish, and a wonderful chocolate brownie with ice cream. When we came home for some reason I felt the need to continue to stuff my face, so I had a huge bucket of popcorn with butter on it. All of that led to a record weight gain of nearly 4 pounds in one day. Unbelievable. Today is going to be another difficult day for me like yesterday. I am going to a funeral and then tonight we are going out to eat as a family. I expect to eat a lot today as it will be an emotional day and I am an emotional eater. I am going completely against my plan. We'll see how I do today and we'll see how much weight I gain on the scale tomorrow morning.

Keep Riding The Wave! 231.5 pounds, - 1.1 pounds today, - 2.3 pounds this week, - 22.5 in 2025, - 101.5 pounds overall

How do you keep your momentum going? For me, I want to ride the wave that I'm on for as long as I can. There is no better time to make progress than when you are making progress. It might not always be easy to do, but everything is there to keep you moving forward, so keep riding the wave. Yesterday was a great day. Work kept me busy all day and I managed not to eat after 5 p.m. I exercised in Zone 2 for 30 minutes and I had 8 hours of solid sleep. This is my formula for success and it is working for me, so I am going to keep at it. Today is going to be a great day. I have a full day of work and there is no reason I shouldn't be able to follow my plan. I am excited to get out of the 230s and I'm really close now, so I need to keep pushing to hit that goal as soon as possible. We'll see what happens today and we'll see what the scale says tomorrow morning!
