THE WEEK THAT WAS…

Sunday, September 21 – Saturday, September 27

  • Starting weight: 258.0

  • Ending weight: 256.4

  • Change: –1.6 lbs

  • Total steps: 100,850

  • Average per day: ~14,407

  • Pushups/sit-ups: ✅ Mon–Fri

  • Calories: On point outside date night, plus two fasts (Tue & Thu)

  • New low: 255s range

A steady week from start to finish. Steps crossed the 100K mark, strength work stayed consistent, and calories were locked in outside of the planned skips. Friday night loosened things up a bit, but that’s part of the rhythm.

The highlight: closing the week at 256.4, with a new low on Friday morning before date night. Momentum continues to move in the right direction. Small, steady wins adding up.

THE UPCOMING WEEK…

Sunday, September 28 – Saturday, July 19

  • Step goal: 12,000+ daily (anchored with a morning walk, critical with travel)

  • Pushups/sit-ups: ✅ Mon–Fri

  • Calories: Stay on point through the week on the road

  • Fasting: None locked in yet, may add depending on travel

  • Schedule highlights:
    🩺 Monday morning: doctor’s appointment
    🚗 On the road all week (Louisville show), home Friday night
    💒 Friday night: wedding/reception (depending on travel)
    🚂 Saturday: train ride with two of the grandkids
    🎉 Saturday night: retirement party for a friend

The plan is straightforward: hold the line on steps and food while traveling, use mornings to get ahead, and treat Friday/Saturday as controlled off-days.

The next milestone is about 10 pounds away. The number might bounce a bit this week with travel, but the long game hasn’t changed: walk, track, and stay disciplined.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

“It’s a lot more than mind over matter. It takes relentless self discipline to schedule suffering into your day, every day”
— David Goggins

Discipline isn’t glamorous. It’s not about hype or motivation — it’s about scheduling the hard things and following through, even when no one’s watching.

Morning walks when the bed feels warmer. Tracking food when it would be easier to guess. Pushups and sit-ups when the day is already full.

Those little doses of daily “suffering” aren’t punishment. They’re the price of progress. And the truth is, they compound into something bigger than motivation ever could.

Until next time,
