One of the harder things for me is not stress eating. This week I’m working on healthier snacks (because I LOVE snacks!). I’m curious to see what food choices everyone else is making. Here’s today’s breakfast pic Sweet potatoes, kale, bell pepper and eggs over medium

I just submitted my week 2 progress. Numbers wise, I am not where I'd like to be. Have I been laser focused and consistent? I could be better. My birthday was during week 1 (so the food was far from healthy) and creating a life changing habit is not easy. I have constant fluctuations with my motivation levels, and to be honest that is unmotivating (ironic huh?) I have to keep reminding myself that I am still doing something good for my body no matter how much I get done. The number on the scale is still going down, even if my high expectations would prefer if it were a lot lower. My wife has noticed my weight loss in other ways as well. My stamina on the pickleball court is definitely not the same as it was when I first started playing. There will always be downs in any journey. I, personally, have noticed that celebrating the little wins can help with defeating the mental fog that develops when you don't meet the expectations that you set for yourself. Because we all know that we all have high standards for ourselves!

So I am flying out of town today and just got to my layover… I asked for a seatbelt extender before I got to my seat, as I have for 7-8 years prob. Jokes on me! I DIDN’T NEED ONE THIS TIME!!!!!!!! WHAT!??? I know that you may not have ever had to even think about that before but If you have been there you know!! Let’s go!! Keep up the great work everyone!!

Watch out, because the boy can move!

I'm currently on day four of working out before work. While I am really enjoying fitting in these extra workouts that didn't fit into my old schedule, waking up early has been quite a challenge. I almost didn't have the energy to get out of bed this morning!
