THE WEEK THAT WAS…

Sunday September 14 through September 20

  • Starting weight: 259.5

  • Ending weight: 258.0

  • Change: –1.5 lbs

  • New low: 254.7 (Saturday)

  • Total steps: 102,629

  • Average per day: ~14,661

  • Calories: Over Monday, planned skip Saturday, otherwise solid

  • Strength: Push-ups & sit-ups ✅ Mon–Fri

It was a steady week with a little bit of everything: a new low of 254.7, a planned off day with family, and the usual bumps that come with a full calendar. The win here is consistency — steps stayed high, strength work was solid, and calories were on track outside the days I’d already built in.

The scale ticked back up slightly after the off day, but that’s normal. What matters is the broader picture: 15 weeks in a row of showing up, still trending down, and still building momentum toward the next milestone.

THE UPCOMING WEEK…

Sunday, September 21 – Saturday, September 27

  • Step goal: 12,000+ daily (anchored with morning walks)

  • Calories: Track every day, with Friday as the only planned off-night (date night)

  • Push-ups/sit-ups: ✅ Mon–Fri

  • Fasting: Tuesday & Thursday

  • Schedule highlights:
    🏠 Home most of the week
    📚 MBA class Tuesday
    🚗 Quick trip Wednesday for a co-worker’s going-away party
    🍽 Date night Friday
    👨‍👩‍👧 Weekend with grandkids

The plan is straightforward: morning walks to keep steps ahead of schedule, track calories daily, lock in push-ups and sit-ups on weekdays, and fast twice this week.

The next goal is three weeks away, and I don’t want to scramble to get there. This week is about tightening things up at home, stacking discipline, and letting action do the talking.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do.”
— C.G. Jung

Progress doesn’t come from promises or good intentions. It comes from doing the work.

Every walk, every tracked meal, every rep — those are the things that define who I am becoming. Not words. Not wishes. Actions.

It’s easy to talk about goals. It’s harder to live them out in the middle of a busy week, when stress is high, or when the calendar is full. But those are the moments that matter most — the times when following through says more than any words ever could.

When the habits are consistent, the results eventually take care of themselves.

Until next time,
