I saw “Make a Plan Monday” come and go, and since I missed it, I figured — why not make today Take Care of Business Tuesday?
It’s 6:15 in the morning and I am not on my sofa scrolling. I’m at the gym, dictating this into my phone, running on nothing but coffee — and honestly? That feels like the perfect moment to officially kick off my intermittent fast for the day and get my IF week started.
I had a long weekend starting Friday. I got a lot done, accomplished some things I’m proud of — but my nutrition goals? Not exactly front of mind. I told myself I deserved to treat myself, and maybe that was true, maybe it wasn’t. Either way, I did what I could to compensate by staying active. But here’s the thing I keep coming back to: you can’t outrun your calories. Don’t eat yourself into a corner that takes forever to get out of. Don’t pay your nutrition goals lip service — actually show up for them.
So TCB Tuesday is a real thing now, at least for me. And I’m using it to encourage everyone here to make today a win — not the whole week, not some big dramatic turnaround, just today. Stack enough of those and the goals start to take care of themselves. (selfie with early AM friend)
Let’s go. 💪

I’m three weeks into my new lifestyle, and even though everyone is already asking “are you losing weight?” and even my 8 year old daughter saying “momma, you know how you’re on a diet because you’re fat—well you’re not AS fat as before.” ?? I swear I don’t see any change. The scale has changed and I FEEL different, but I don’t see what everyone else sees, got sure. Even when I think of 8 pounds?? I wouldn’t even consider that enough to notice. Ya know?

Anyway….

Here’s my before and after. From 207-199.
Here’s to another week, lovelies!
We got this ??

So happy to have hit my goal! This group kept me accountable when I wanted to quit. Proud of all of us, winners or not

Final weigh-in done and I’m happy to share that I made it 🎉 Thanks for the motivation along the way. Wishing everyone the best of luck—you’ve got this!
