The Power of One Good Decision
Even after my hardest workday yet, I went to bed before midnight—and woke up clear-headed, rested, and full of energy. Seven solid hours of sleep. No pushing. No struggling. Just progress. That’s what this way of eating has given me: real energy, real peace, and real change.
⚖️ Daily Progress:
Here’s how I’m doing today.
Weight Loss

This combo of OFAD (One Food A Day), OMAD (One Meal A Day), and Carnivore is a winner. It’s working with my body, not against it. The numbers tell the story: slow, steady progress that feels great in real life.
Blood Pressure (BP)
| Date | BP – Before Food (Best of 3) | BP – Before Food (Worst of 3) | Average |

💪 Today’s Systolic Change (1st number): +22.5
💪 Today’s Diastolic Change (2nd number): +13.5
Even though it jumped a bit, I’m still under the 140/90 threshold. That’s my line for action, and I’m not crossing it. I’m watching trends, not just numbers. That’s the key.
Blood Glucose
| Date | Blood Glucose – Before Food (mmol/L) |
| Blood Glucose Goal | 4.2 |

📊 Today’s Change: -0.5 mmol/L
📊 Days in Normal Range (3.9–5.6 mmol/L): 10 out of 20
This number used to scare me. Now, I trust it. I track, I learn, I adapt. I’m almost down to my personal goal of 2.2 mmol/L, and that feels incredible.
🧠 Reflections: This Is What Discipline Feels Like
When I rest, fuel right, and measure—it all works.
Last night, I wanted to push through. I was tired. I had more to do. But instead, I listened to my body. I shut down early. And today? I won.
This isn’t magic. It’s not luck. It’s choices—stacked day after day.
✅ Protect the First Hour
If you want one takeaway from this journey, it’s this:
Protect your morning. That one choice makes everything else easier.
Weigh in. Check your numbers. Reflect. Reset. Don’t rush it. Don’t skip it. That one calm hour can guide the next twenty-three.
🌞 See You Tomorrow! 😊
Warmly,
Paul
