I lost 2.6 pounds yesterday. That’s not a typo — 2.6 pounds in a single day.

Sometimes intermittent fasting delivers results that feel almost unbelievable. Yesterday was one of those days. The plan felt easy to follow, my energy was steady, and everything just clicked. I stayed committed, and the scale showed it.

But here’s the thing: I’m not expecting the same result today. And that’s okay.

The weight loss journey isn’t about stringing together flashy numbers. It’s about showing up today — regardless of what happened yesterday. I could let a big drop make me feel like I’ve “earned” a break, or I could get frustrated if the scale doesn’t move this morning. But neither of those responses will help me in the long run.

What matters most is consistency. And mindset.

I’m making great progress. I feel it, I see it, and I believe in it. But I’m keeping my focus on the present — not getting caught up in what the scale might say tomorrow or the next day. I’ll take today one decision at a time, stay on plan, and trust the process.

Because success isn’t built in one amazing day — it’s built in the string of ordinary days that follow.

Let’s stay grounded. Let’s keep going.
What’s one thing you’re doing today to stay on track?

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.
