I woke up today feeling spectacular—not just physically, but mentally and emotionally too. There’s real sanity in sticking with this and knowing I won’t break the diet no matter what.
Being stable feels so freeing. When the weight nudges up, like today, I don’t spiral or question everything. I just breathe, stay the course, and keep my eye on the big picture.
⚖️ Daily Progress:
Here’s how I’m doing today.

⚖️ Progress Isn’t a Straight Line
The scale bounced up a little today, but thanks to my Friday fasts and my goal date of July 24, I’m not concerned. I’ve done this before—and I know that when I stick to the plan, the results show up.
Weekly tracking keeps me sane. Today’s bump doesn’t trigger old habits or panic. With that July goal in place, I’ve got something solid to aim for—and six weeks feels completely doable.

🩺 Peace of Mind Through Planning
My blood pressure is creeping up again, but I’ve got the solution. I don’t take meds daily anymore—only when my BP pushes over 140/90, and today it’s just brushing up against that.
No panic needed. I’ve dialed in my strategy after months of trial and error. Now, I just monitor the numbers and respond when needed. That frees up my mental space for what really matters in life.

🍬 Boring Blood Sugar = Beautiful
There’s nothing exciting to report here—and that’s perfect. My blood glucose dropped a little today and stayed right in the healthy range.
Stability is my favorite metric. No spikes. No crashes. Just steady wins—day by day, week by week.
✅ The One Big Takeaway
Don’t waste energy on daily noise.
Weight, pressure, glucose—they all fluctuate. What matters is having a system in place that lets you respond, not react. Set a meaningful goal, make a smart plan, and stick to it. That’s what gives you freedom.
Like me, it may take you years to finally work out a system that works, tailored specifically to you, but the time and effort are worth it. How I feel every day now is proof of that!
💬 Keep going—even when the scale doesn’t agree with your goals. Your body aligns with everything you do, eventually.
See You Tomorrow! 😊
Warmly,
Paul
