THE WEEK THAT WAS…

Sunday July 6 through Saturday July 12

• Starting weight: 274.5

• Ending weight: 272.0

• Change: –2.5 lbs

• Total steps: 101,264

• Average per day: ~14,466

• Calories: Stayed under 2,000 each day (Except for Friday and Saturday - which were planned)

• Consistency streak: 5 weeks straight of showing up

This was a good one. Not perfect, but consistent.
The scale kept moving. The steps stayed up. And more than anything, I kept the promise to myself — again.

THE UPCOMING WEEK…

Sunday, July 13 – Saturday, July 19

• Step goal: 12,000+ per day (84K+ total)

• Calories: Track every day except Sunday (with kids and grandbabies) Saturday evening (planned off-meal)

• Pushups + situps: Monday through Friday

• Weekend rule: Step-only, but average still needs to hit 12K — I can make up short days

• Focus word: Tighten

• Schedule:

  • 🏠 Home Monday

  • ✈️ Travel Tuesday

  • 🏠 Home again Wednesday

  • ❤️ Trip with Beth starts Thursday

The truth is, I’ve been giving myself too much slack.
It’s not a failure thing — it’s just a drift thing. One untracked day becomes two. Then three. And I know where that leads.

If I keep giving myself this much room, I’ll still get there…
…but it’ll take years instead of months. And I’m not okay with that.

So this week is about tightening the plan.
Not chasing perfection — just refusing to drift.

A little more focus. A little more consistency.
One step, one day at a time.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

This whole journey — the steps, the tracking, the early mornings — it’s not just about doing different things.

It’s about becoming the kind of person who thinks differently.

The old me could justify almost anything:

• “One day off won’t hurt.”

• “I’ll start Monday.”

• “It’s not that bad.”

But that kind of thinking built the exact problem I’m trying to undo.

If I want different results, I need different thoughts — every single day.
More awareness. More honesty. More forward momentum.
