Three things, in the comments. 1. One thing that went right. Be specific, not "I did okay." 2. One thing that was harder than you expected. 3. Your one thing for the weekend. On number three, be realistic rather than ambitious. "Protein at breakfast both days" beats "eat clean all weekend," because one of those survives contact with a Saturday and the other one never has. The weekend is where the week gets decided. Not Monday.

On Wednesday, September 23, there will be exactly 100 days left in this year. I'm going to use them. I'm on my last day of a trip for a worship conference in Orlando. Completely unintentionally, one of the themes of the conference was "remembering". Remember where we came from, what God has done in our lives, and to let that be the fuel that drives what we do to make an impact on the lives of the people around us. I came home with two things I couldn't shake. The first is how many lives change when one person finally gets their own house in order. The second is that nobody does that alone. So here's what I'm doing. For the last 100 days of the year, I'm going to lose my next 15 pounds. I've learned over the years is that the way I teach best is by doing, so i'm getting back to that. I'm going to do it out loud, step by step, right here, every week. Through Thanksgiving. Through Christmas. Through another vacation in October. The exact stretch of the year where most people say, "I'll start fresh in January." I said that for years. I sad that when I was as heavy as 242 pounds. I've done keto, carnivore, Whole30, fasting, and every supplement with a label on it. I know exactly what it feels like to start over for the tenth time. So I'm not going to pretend I found something magic. There is no magic. There is only the work. But what I develop for people is designed to make the work simpler. Here's the whole plan, stated plainly. Minimum of 175 grams of protein a day. 12,000 steps a day, on average. Full-body strength training, four days a week. And a low dose of tirzepatide, 2.5 to 5 milligrams a week, prescribed and managed by my provider. I may add another peptide to help with visceral fat mobilization, but that is TBD. I'm telling you that last one on purpose. It quiets the food noise, which is what I need help with. It makes sticking to the work easier for me, but it's not a solution. It was never the reason it works. The protein, the steps, and the training are the reason...
