Do you ever give up, even for a day? I do, and yesterday was one of those days. I took my wife out to celebrate the anniversary of our first date. We went to Leo's Malt Shop in Stillwater, Minnesota. I went into thinking I would just have something really light. I ended up having a wonderful Asian chicken salad along with a bowl of tomato basil soup, which was amazingly good. I justified the soup because we were sitting in cold part of the restaurant and the soup was warm to my body and soul. I didn't stop with that, however.

After this meal we went to Target where I purchased some candy as a sweet treat for us. It was delicious, but not necessary. Maybe it was. I don't know. Regardless, I ended up gaining weight on the scale this morning. This leaves me more than a pound away from the goal that I just achieved of losing 100 pounds. I need to do something about that today.

Today is going to be a great day. I have a full day to keep me busy. Then I have some projects to work on at night to keep me occupied. If I don't eat after 5 p.m. and I exercise and get enough sleep I'm confident that I'll 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!
