I'm no expert, but zone 2 training is like a miracle for me. I found out about zone 2 training from watching a 36 minute video of a man running a marathon in under 3 hours and he talked in a normal voice the entire time. He shared about benefits of zone 2 training and I was sold. According to this blog, if keep your heart rate between 60 and 70% of your maximum heart rate and you will burn fat as your fuel. I can attest to how effective this training is for my weight loss and I love it.

When I train in zone 2 my biggest challenge is to keep my heart rate lower than 70% of my maximum heart rate. It feels like I am barely exercising and I wonder how it can be helpful, but when I get on the scale I see the results and I know it works.

Yesterday I ate a little more than I was planning to, but I exercised for 30 minutes in zone 2 and I managed to lose weight again. I'm so close to the 240s that I have to keep pushing today and tomorrow to get there.

Today is going to be a great day. I have a full day of work to keep me busy and I hope to not eat after 5 p.m. If I can do these things I hope to be out of th 250s. 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!
