The end of the month is a great time to look back and reflect on what you've learned. I look back on this month and think of all the weight I lost, only to have most of that progress erased by letting myself go over Thanksgiving week. I had been down nearly 10 pounds this month, but gaining 6 pounds at Thanksgiving really set me back. Lesson learned: don't let yourself go completely. Have some restraint. I need to keep that in mind for Christmas when the cycle of feasting repeats itself.

Yesterday was a great day. I went into the day thinking that I wasn't going to eat much of anything, but of course, all of the leftovers called my name and I had a huge plate full of food. I was able to keep from eating as much as the day before so I did lose some weight. Progress always feels good.

Today is going to be a great day. The family is still all together so that is the biggest blessing of all. We will be picking up our Christmas tree today and it is bitterly cold outside. I want to keep from eating too much. If I can control myself I hope to lose weight again. We'll 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!
