Yesterday I lost a pound. One full pound — gone. Thanks to sticking with intermittent fasting, the scale moved in the right direction and it felt amazing. It’s a reminder that this process works when I actually work it. And while I’m proud of that progress, I know one thing for sure: this is not the time to relax.

There’s a subtle danger that creeps in when the progress starts to show — complacency.

That little voice whispers, “You’re doing great! Maybe you can loosen up a bit.” But I’ve been down that road before. I’ve felt the sting of backsliding after a win, and I’m determined not to repeat that cycle.

Momentum is powerful, but it’s also fragile. It doesn’t carry itself. It needs to be fed with action, discipline, and intention. One pound down can easily become two, three, five — but only if I maintain a sense of urgency and keep stacking the good days.

So here’s my mindset today:
✅ Stick to the plan.
✅ Keep it simple.
✅ Don’t negotiate with temptation.
✅ Remember why I started.

This journey isn’t just about weight — it’s about becoming someone who finishes what they start. Someone who doesn't let small wins turn into big setbacks. I’ve got momentum on my side now, and I plan to protect it.

How do you stay sharp and focused once you start seeing results? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Let’s keep pushing forward — no coasting allowed.

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.
