Last week’s numbers: 🪶 Weight change: -1.6 lbs (256.4) 🚶‍♂️ Steps: 100,850 (avg. 14,407/day) 💪 Pushups/Sit-ups: ✅ (Mon–Fri) 🍽️ Calories: On point except for date night; two fasts (Tue & Thu) Solid week. Ended at 256.4 with a new low Friday morning before date night. Steps, push-ups, and sit-ups stayed consistent, and calories were dialed in outside of the planned skips. Progress continues to move in the right direction. This week’s calendar: 🚗 On the road all week (Louisville show), home Friday night 🩺 Monday morning: doctor’s appointment 💒 Friday night: wedding/reception (depending on travel timing) 🚂 Saturday: train ride with two of the grandkids 🎉 Saturday night: retirement party for a friend The plan is straightforward: - 12,000+ steps daily (anchored with a morning walk — critical with travel) - Push-ups & sit-ups Mon–Fri - Stay calorie-conscious through the week on the road - Friday: behave during the day, evening depends on travel/wedding - Saturday: planned off day with family + retirement party - No fasting locked in yet, but may add depending on how the week unfolds I’ve got about 10 pounds to go to the next milestone. The number today might be a little inflated, but either way, this is a good stretch to keep things steady. One walk, one meal, one choice at a time. 🦆 #OFJ

Yesterday’s Stats: 🪶 Weight: 256.4 🚶‍♂️ Steps: 16,651 💪 Push-ups/Sit-ups: ❌ (weekend pass) 🍽️ Calories: 2,145 Not thrilled with the scale this morning. Honestly, it made me crabby. I did the work yesterday — hit my steps, stayed within calories, even went for a walk with Beth — and still saw the number bounce. That’s the downside of daily weigh-ins. Some days the scale doesn’t match the effort. "Continuous effort — not strength or intelligence — is the key to unlocking our potential." — Liane Cordes The number is just one piece of the journey. The effort stacks, even when it doesn’t show up right away. Today is about keeping that effort steady and resetting the attitude. Tomorrow will be a fresh start, but today is still a chance to move forward. Keep showing up. 🦆 #OFJ

Yesterday’s Stats: 🪶 Weight: 255.0 🚶‍♂️ Steps: 16,598 💪 Push-ups/Sit-ups: ✅ 25/50 🍽️ Calories: Off day (date night) Date night was a lot of fun — maybe a little excessive, but that’s okay once in a while. The scale shows it, but that doesn’t erase the progress of the week. Sometimes stepping back for an evening is exactly what resets the spirit. Today, it’s back on track. Quote of the day: "The paradox of relaxation is the renewal of the mind, rekindling of spirit, and revitalizing of strength." — Lailah Gifty Akita Taking a break doesn’t mean losing ground. It means you come back with more energy to keep going. Here’s to bouncing back and finishing the weekend strong. 🦆 #OFJ

Yesterday’s Stats: 🪶 Weight: 250.2 (new low 🎉) 🚶‍♂️ Steps: 15,026 💪 Push-ups/Sit-ups: ✅ 25/50 🍽️ Calories: 851 Yesterday was a strong day. Travel wasn’t in the mix, and I was able to push through with discipline. Even when the routine isn’t perfect, the effort stacks up, and that’s what counts. Cracking another new low is proof of that. Quote of the day: "Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude." — W.W. Ziege Attitude really does set the tone. When the mindset is right, even hard days feel manageable. When it slips, everything feels harder than it really is. Let’s finish the week strong. 🦆 #OFJ

Yesterday’s Stats: 🪶 Weight: 253.6 🚶‍♂️ Steps: 13,130 💪 Push-ups/Sit-ups: ✅ 25/50 🍽️ Calories: 1,946 Long travel day — 11 hours on the road — plus lunch with my boss who’s leaving. That made for a full schedule and could easily have been a step-free, low-energy day. I almost didn’t make the steps, but pushed out for a late walk when I got home and finished with 13,130. That felt like mental toughness and earned. I’m deciding whether to fast today — leaning toward yes. Between the travel, the readings on pace toward 246.4, and a date night coming up, a short fast seems like the right tool to keep momentum without being extreme. I’ll finalise that in the next hour and act accordingly. Small wins after a hard day are real wins. Keep stacking them. Keep the focus. Keep moving. Quote of the day: “It’s a lot more than mind over matter. It takes relentless self discipline to schedule suffering into your day, every day.” — David Goggins Interpretation: Discipline isn’t just motivation — it’s the proactive act of putting yourself through the work you know will pay off later. Scheduling the hard stuff (walks, limits, decisions that feel uncomfortable) is how the results get built. Today’s late walk was exactly that kind of scheduled toughness — not glamorous, but effective. 🦆 #OFJ
