I have a busy day of meetings with outside Vendors. Insurance negotiations as an example. These days are never "fun" but they have to happen to make sure we all don't get comfortable and really advocate for ourselves. I chose this outfit based on what I felt would put me in the right frame of mind for fairness but also steadfastness in managing the responsibility. It is the attention to detail in the outfit that puts my mind in the right place for the attention to detail in the business as well as other areas of my life.

Between November 2024 and Aug 16, 2025 I lost 35 pounds and I finally conquered the flab that had been plaguing me since my last BIG drop in 2,000 (when I had turned 40 and that was only 14 lbs). After moving from Richmond, VA to Claremore, OK-The intensely stressful success at building a wealth management department and conceiving and building a trust division (2,002-2012) coupled with the natural slowing of my metabolism at my age helped contribute to a 40 pound gain in weight by 2014 (205lb😳 at 67.75” tall). Martial arts, fly fishing, and singing in a kilt didn’t protect me from the stress induced binge eating I did here in Oklahoma where the state bird is the chicken fried steak and holy communion is briskets and gravy. After a heart attack in 2017, between 17 straight years of failing to re-attain my year 2,000 - 40 year old weight- I went drastic last year and beat my 40 year old weight (166) by my 65th birthday (160.5 by 8/16/25). I saw this gag gift, the hillbilly diet pill, but essentially it works. Rather, I did some pretty well thought out extended fasts (100 hours built up to over 4 months or 1 per month: 36hr, 72 hr, 90hr, 100hrs) In 2026 my goals are to do some body sculpting: gain muscle of an inch or two in my shoulders, one inch in my chest, (all to save $ on clothes) and lower my body fat percentage from 21.5 % to 13-16%. The plan is to be there by August and the method is to intensify my lifting, swimming and martial arts. Wish me luck. - the things I learned last year are: • Be realistic about your time horizon (sustaining 1lb a week is hard as hell) • sleep and staying out of the kitchen is 90% of it • have accountability partner(s). Not counting my wife I have an 81 year old personal trainer and a 67 year old 7th degree blackbelt I meet with multiple times per week. Have a blessed 2026 - Whatever your goals are fellas. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8NRtHJqwuGA

We got a new supervisor on the 1st. The new Lt. is brining us back around to more of a business casual look vs the uniform polo and tactical pants. Which I am thrilled about! I had a semi high risk field task today. At least in terms of investigations @William Feldtmose will understand 🤣. I chose to wear a blue Twillory dress shirt, tan 5.11 chinos for the extra hidden pockets, brown Anson belt, brown Thursday boots and a quilted green field jacket.

After playing hooky for a while yesterday, it leaves me with a busy catch up day today. I wouldn't change a thing from yesterday so this isn't a complaint it's just the facts.
