Down 2.2 Pounds — Even on a Saturday

Yesterday, I stuck to my plan.
I followed my intermittent fasting window. I stayed intentional. And I didn’t let the usual “Saturday mindset” pull me off track.

The result? I’m down 2.2 pounds.

And more than the number, I just feel good.
Clear. Energized. Proud.

Saturdays have always been tricky for me. No structure, more downtime, and that little voice that whispers, “You’ve been good all week… relax.”
But yesterday, I didn’t listen to that voice.
I stayed present, and it paid off.

Now it’s Sunday. Father’s Day.
Which means celebration, family time… and homemade pizza night.

Yes, pizza.
A favorite in our house and, let’s be real, not exactly the easiest meal to navigate while trying to stay on track.

But I have a plan.
I’m sticking to my intermittent fasting window.
I’m going for a hike with the family this afternoon to move my body, clear my mind, and set the tone for the evening.
And I’m going into the day reminding myself that balance is possible, even on special days.

Because what I’ve learned is this:
It’s not about being strict — it’s about being intentional.
It’s not about avoiding fun — it’s about being mindful while enjoying it.

So I’ll enjoy the time, enjoy the food, and still honor my commitment to myself.

To those of you reading this — how do you handle special days like this?
How do you stay connected to your goals while celebrating with the people you love?

Drop your favorite strategies in the comments — let’s learn from each other.
Because the journey is always better when we walk it together.

Here’s to another good day — one mindful choice at a time.

New Trails, Big Wins. 252.6 pounds, - 2.1 pounds today, - 80.4 pounds overall, 2.6 pounds from my next goal
Yesterday was a big day—I walked 6 miles across two different hikes and felt great the whole time. No issues with my leg injury, which was a huge relief. Most of that walking happened at William O'Brien State Park, where I explored a trail I’d never hiked before. It was absolutely beautiful, and I’m already looking forward to going back. The best part? Between all that walking and sticking to my intermittent fasting plan, I lost 2.1 pounds! I’m feeling energized, encouraged, and excited to see what the rest of this month holds. Today is shaping up to be another great day. I plan to walk again after work, and hopefully, the scale will keep moving in the right direction. We’ll see what happens—and what the scale says tomorrow morning. One day at a time.

A Small Setback, But a Big Opportunity. 254.7 pounds, + 1.0 pounds today, - 78.3 pounds overall, 4.7 pounds from my next goal
Yesterday didn’t go exactly as planned—I ended up gaining a pound. An unexpected family meal meant I broke my intermittent fasting schedule, and between kayaking and watching my son’s dogs, I didn’t get my walk in. But honestly? It’s all good. Time with family comes first, and those moments matter more than a number on the scale. Today is a new day—and it’s a beautiful one. Sunny skies, temps in the 80s, and low humidity. Absolutely perfect for being outside. I’m hoping to head to William O’Brien State Park for a hike. I might even try to double my usual route and aim for 4 miles. That feels crazy to say out loud—but I’m feeling strong, and this weather is just too good to pass up. We’ll see what today brings—and what the scale says tomorrow morning. One step at a time.
