The sleep deprivation I battled last week? Gone. Completely.
And I feel amazing again!
That means today is set up to be a super-productive one. Bring it on!
Daily Progress
Here’s how I’m doing today:
Weight Loss
| Date | Weight (lbs) |
| Weight Goal | 176.0 (80.0 kg) |
| 2 Jan 2025 – Day 1 | 235.5 (106.8 kg) |
| 31 Jan 2025 – Month 1 | 209.4 (95.0 kg) |
| 28 Feb 2025 – Month 2 | 200.1 (91.2 kg) |
| 1 Mar 2025 | 197.3 (89.5 kg) |
| 2 Mar 2025 | 199.5 (90.5 kg) |
| 3 Mar 2025 | 201.5 (91.4 kg) |
| 4 Mar 2025 | 203.8 (92.4 kg) |
| 5 Mar 2025 | 201.9 (91.6 kg) |
| 6 Mar 2025 | 201.9 (91.6 kg) |
| 7 Mar 2025 | 201.9 (91.6 kg) |
📉 Today’s Change: 0 lbs (0 kg)
📉 Total Loss (in 64 days): -35.9 lbs (-16.2 kg)
📉 Average Loss Per Day: -0.56 lbs (-0.25 kg)
Three days in a row without a drop! That almost never happens!
If I don’t see movement tomorrow, I may need to adjust the plan. I was hoping to hold steady on the diet for a couple of weeks before breaking it, but I’ll listen to my body.
Blood Pressure (BP)
| Date | BP – Before Food (Best of 3) | BP – Before Food (Worst of 3) | Average |

💪 Today’s Systolic Change (1st number): +11
💪 Today’s Diastolic Change (2nd number): +3.5
My blood pressure is still hovering near the top of my target range. If it doesn’t drop tomorrow, I’ll take medicine to force it down. I’d rather use pills occasionally than let it stay too high.
The good news? Unlike before, this is now a choice—not a medical necessity.
Blood Glucose
| Date | Blood Glucose – Before Food (mmol/L) |
| Blood Glucose Goal | 4.2 |
| 2 Jan 2025 – Day 1 | 7.2 |
| 31 Jan 2025 – Month 1 | 4.4 |
| 28 Feb 2025 – Month 2 | 5.1 |
| 1 Mar 2025 | 5.0 |
| 2 Mar 2025 | 5.1 |
| 3 Mar 2025 | 6.1 |
| 4 Mar 2025 | 6.9 |
| 5 Mar 2025 | 5.3 |
| 6 Mar 2025 | 5.5 |
| 7 Mar 2025 | 4.8 |
📊 Today’s Change: -1.6 mmol/L
📊 Days in Normal Range (3.9–5.6 mmol/L): 55 out of 64
Back down to 4.8—back to where I want it. That’s a huge win! Keeping it low and stable is my focus, and today’s numbers tell me I’m on track.
Victory in the Details
The scale may be holding steady, but my energy is up, and my blood sugar is where it should be. That tells me something important—this journey is about more than just weight loss. It’s about health, strength, and long-term success. If adjustments are needed, I’ll make them. But for now, I’ll stick with it and keep going.
See you tomorrow! 😊
Warmly,
Paul
