What do you do when you hit a wall? I have definitely hit a plateau in my weight loss journey. This is the third day in a row where I've basically been at the same weight, which probably shouldn't be a big deal, but after having lost weight so consistently I've grown to expect it, especially if I've been following my plan.

I've been pretty rigorous about my plan the past week and to stall out the last three days is discouraging. However, I need to realize that the body adjusts to what is going on and it isn't always going to give the same results. Realistically, hitting a plateau should be expected along the way. The question is, what am I going to do about it. 

I am going to keep pushing through. Today is going to be a great day because I'm choosing to make it a great day. Weekend days are always the hardest for me, but I need to keep fighting to follow my plan and I will lose weight again eventually. Today I plan on adding to my exercise routine by getting outside and going for a hike. The weather is going to be fantastic with highs near 30 degrees. If I do that and follow my plan I should lose weight. 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!
