When the ride makes you yell... My change from last week – Change in weight (5/5/20 –5/11/20): -5.2 LBS Last week I talked about my check-in being a wake-up call. Well I answered it. I am super pumped this morning because I have been feeling really good the past couple of days and when I …
weekly reflections: 4/28 – 5/4
My change from last week – Change in weight (4/21/20 –4/27/20): +2.4 LBS This weigh-in is a wake-up call.

My change from last week – Change in weight (4/14/20 –4/20/20): -1.8 LBS I chose the picture above because it makes me calm. It makes me think of fond memories and the feeling of a breeze on the ridge of a mountain. The weight is moving back in the right direction. I had another morning …

My change from last week – Change in weight (3/17/20 –3/23/20): -0.6 LBS I should start this post off by saying that I feel great! Just in general. I woke up and my body felt good, my mind felt good, and my general spirit was lifted. Why is this, Ben? I don't actually know. Though …
motivation and the little things
I am feeling pretty good and motivated right now. It is 10pm at night and I have a positive outlook on this week so far. The kicker is I started writing this at 8pm and felt very different. I am putting into quotes below how I started writing only a couple hours ago. "Do any …

My change from last week – Change in weight (2/10/20 – 2/16/20): +0.4 LBS So as you can see I gained weight this week. I will address this, and my attitude surrounding it a little later, but first I want to discuss something that has been on my mind. Family. This past week we experienced a …

My change from last week – Change in weight (1/27/20 – 2/2/20): -1.2 LBS This week came with some ups and downs. There were a couple days where I was feeling great, hitting my step counts, and feeling good about what I ate. There were also some days where weakness got the best of me at …
