You need to examine why you are having success so you can repeat the actions that produced your results. When you have success it can be easy to take it for granted. Sometimes you don't pay attention to the causes of success until you have setbacks. However, the best time to examine what brought you success is when you are having success because everything is fresh in your mind. It is too easy to forget the details, good or bad, days or weeks after an event.

Yesterday was a great day for me. I followed my plan of eating, sleeping, and exercise perfectly and I was rewarded on the scale this morning. I didn't exercise because of the continued issue with my IT band being strained. I don't think that will change until Thanksgiving. I had a full night of sleep and I was able to avoid eating after 5 p.m. It helped that as I hung out with my daughter watching Dancing with the Stars that she didn't eat anything that filled the room with smells that would make me hungry. The keys to my success yesterday were to have a plan and to be in an environment that made it easy to follow the plan.

Today should be another great day. I have a full day of work to keep me busy and I hope to not eat anything after 5 p.m. If I do that I might be able to lose weight again today. 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!
