How do you celebrate when you hit a big milestone? For me, I'm excited and thankful for all of the progress I've made, but I know I need to focus on hitting the next goal or it won't happen. You can't take your eye off the ball for too long or else you will lose your momentum, or worse yet, go backwards. 

So what milestone did I hit? I am now out of the 240s, which means, according to the U.S. Government health statistics that for my height I am no longer "obese!" Whoohooo! this is awesome. I am so excited to have achieved this goal. I'm really proud of myself for having stuck with my plan to make this happen. I am not officially "overweight," and I will be until I am below 200 pounds. I definitely want to lose another 40 pounds so I can enter into the "fit" category, so there is much work yet to be done. 

Yesterday was a great day. I was able to keep from eating after 5 p.m., I had a full night of sleep, and I worked out in Zone 2 for 30 minutes. All of that combined for great weight loss on the scale this morning. The challenge is to keep this going. 

Today is going to be a great day. I have a full day of work to keep me busy and tonight I'm getting my hair cut, so that will help me lose a fraction of an ounce of weight. Ha. Seriously though, having that activity tonight will keep me busy and help the odds of me not eating after 5 p.m. If I can do that and get good sleep and exercise in Zone 2 for 30 minutes, who knows, maybe I'll 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!
