I feel like I’m back on the rollercoaster again. After working my way down to 268 pounds, the scale jumped back up to 272 this past week. That’s frustrating—but if I’m being honest, it’s not surprising.
Last week’s work schedule threw me off. My gym time was limited, and my eating habits slipped. Chocolate became a daily thing instead of an occasional treat, and I gave in to a few fast food cravings. None of that aligns with where I want to go.
But here’s the key: this isn’t failure—it’s feedback.
With the school year winding down, my schedule is opening up again. That gives me an opportunity to reset and recommit. I have just over four weeks until my trip to Cancun, and I’m setting a clear, realistic target: get down to 260 pounds by the time my feet hit the beach.
Is it the original goal of 250? No.
But it’s progress—and progress is what matters.
To make that happen, I need to tighten things up:
- Get back to portion-controlled meals
- Limit chocolate to once a week—not daily
- Eliminate fast food
- Be intentional with what I eat, not reactive to cravings
The same goes for my workouts. One of my biggest challenges has been inconsistency. Too often I walk into the gym without a plan and just do whatever feels right in the moment. That approach hasn’t served me.
So here’s the plan moving forward:
- 2 days per week: Full-body strength training
- 4 days per week: Dedicated cardio sessions
Simple. Structured. Repeatable.
At the end of the day, none of this is complicated—it’s about consistency. It’s about showing up, even when it’s inconvenient. It’s about making decisions that align with the person I want to become, not the cravings I feel in the moment.
I’ve already proven I can get to 268. That means I can get to 260.
Now it’s time to lock in, stay disciplined, and finish strong.
Cancun is coming—and I’m going to be ready.
