Yesterday was a really good day.

We celebrated Father’s Day with the family — and yes, that included homemade pizza (one of my favorite traditions). I enjoyed the day fully: the food, the laughs, the time together.

And this morning?
After a day of celebration and carbs, I stepped on the scale and saw that I only gained 0.4 pounds.

Only 0.4 — after a 2.2-pound loss the day before.
And honestly, I’m calling that a win.

What made the difference?
I think a big part of it was our two-mile family hike at a local state park. We got outside, moved our bodies, and spent quality time together — and it reminded me how much joy and progress can happen at the same time.

I’ve had weekends in the past where a celebration like that would’ve sent me spiraling, or at the very least, left me feeling bloated, discouraged, and out of sync. But not this time.

This time, I felt balanced.
This time, I made room for both celebration and self-care.
This time, I woke up feeling proud.

So yes — I had the pizza.
But I also stayed active, honored my intermittent fasting window, and most importantly, stayed connected to the bigger picture.

I’m happy with my progress, and even happier with how I handled the day.
And now I’m heading into this new week with momentum, motivation, and a sense of peace.

If you celebrated this weekend, I hope you were able to find that same balance — to enjoy your people and your progress at the same time.

Here’s to a new week filled with intention, small wins, and forward motion.
We’ve got this.

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.
