THE WEEK THAT WAS…

Sunday August 31 through Saturday September 6

• Starting weight: 266.2

• Ending weight: 257.1

• Change: –9.1 lbs

• Total steps: 92,359

• Average per day: ~13,194

• Calories: Under goal on every planned day; skipped tracking on Labor Day weekend (Sunday & Monday), but locked in for the next five days

• Other: 1-day fast on Friday

• Consistency: 13 weeks in a row

• Milestone: Down 30 pounds in 3 months (10 lbs/month pace)

This was the week I crossed a big line. On Monday’s weigh-in, I was officially down over 30 pounds since June 9. That’s 10 pounds a month for three months straight.

The steps were steady, the calories were locked in after the holiday, and I nailed the goal! More than anything, I feel like I’m right where I need to be — not just with results, but with momentum.

THE UPCOMING WEEK…

Sunday, September 7 – Saturday, September 13

• Step goal: 12,000+ per day (morning walks to stay ahead)

• Calories: Track daily — Thursday (Beth’s birthday) and Friday (grandbaby’s birthday) will be flexible

• Pushups/situps: ✅ Monday through Friday

• Schedule highlights:
  🎂 Thursday: Beth’s birthday dinner
  🎉 Friday: Grandbaby’s birthday, overnight with family
  🏈 Saturday: Football, friends, maybe a date night

I feel good and focused heading into this week. The social calendar is full — birthdays, family, and football — but the guardrails are in place. Morning walks, strength work, and tracking the “normal” days will keep me moving forward.

Goal: Another 10 pounds over the next month. If I stay steady, I’ll be at 40 pounds down in four months — right on pace.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

The scale is just the scoreboard. The real battle is with my own choices, my own excuses, and my own mindset.

Every walk, every logged meal, every rep is a small way of conquering myself. And if I keep doing that, the mountain takes care of itself.
