"If you are going through Hell, keep going." This quote may or may not have been said by Winston Churchill, but the idea is powerful regardless. The opposite is true with regard to weight loss. When you have momentum going your way, keep going.

Yesterday was a great day for me. I got up very early to go to a networking event where breakfast was served. I ate more than I normally do for breakfast. My big breakfast made me hungrier than usual for lunch, so I ate a decent sized lunch. This in turn made me hungry last night. It was a real battle to follow my plan and to keep from eating after 5 p.m. I had to keep reminding myself that I had an appointment with the scale this morning so that I wouldn't give in to the temptation to eat after 5 p.m. I am so glad to report that I was successful and the result was losing another pound on the scale this morning.

Today is going to be a great day. I have a full day of work to keep me busy. I don't know what tonight holds, but I need to stay committed to not eating after 5 p.m. If I can do that I may lose weight again today, but given how much I've lost recently that might not happen. I'm fine with that as long as I stick with my plan. 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!
