There’s nothing quite like starting your Monday with a win.

I stepped on the scale this morning and saw I was down 0.8 pounds — even after eating leftover pizza yesterday. And no, it wasn’t some tiny nibble. I had a normal portion and enjoyed every bite.

So how did I still lose weight?

Intermittent fasting.

It continues to work for me because it gives me structure, boundaries, and space to reset between meals — even when I’m eating something indulgent. It’s not about perfection. It’s about consistency and balance.

Another thing that really helps?
Getting back into my work routine.
Having a schedule makes it so much easier to stick to the plan. When I’m busy and focused, I’m not thinking about food all day. I’m not wandering into the kitchen just because it’s there. The rhythm of the workday keeps me on track without me even realizing it.

After a fun, food-filled weekend, I’m grateful to be starting the week with momentum. Losing 0.8 pounds is more than just a number — it’s proof that you can live your life, enjoy your food, and still make progress.

If you’re feeling off after the weekend, let this be your reminder:
You don’t need a total reset.
You don’t need to overcorrect.
You just need to get back into rhythm — whatever that looks like for you.

Let’s make it a great week.
Let’s stay focused.
And let’s celebrate every step forward — even the ones that happen after pizza.

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.
