“Change is not hypocrisy, it is growth.” I saw that quote recently.
It’s important to know that you can learn more information and change. Changing your mind does not cut your integrity, it enhances it.
A good first day of phase 2! Hit my protein goal and stayed under the calorie goal for today. Had a great lift this morning too. One day at a time! #195by50


Dinner was fire! Posting my meals is really helpful accountability for me.
Day one of phase two is nearly in the books. I forgot how much I enjoyed the process of moving and eating well.


A little afternoon snack!



One of the things that I have learned over the last few years, in many areas of my life, is that faithfulness counts far more than exuberance.
Today’s lunch was last night’s leftovers, nearly 60g of protein! 💪


Oh, this is excellent from @bjhess:
[A Bit Naive](https://bjhess.com/posts/a-bit-naive)What I wouldn’t give right now to be a bit more naive.
What I wouldn’t give for all of us to be a bit more naive.
A bit less social media.
A bit less 24-hour news.
I really need to develop some intentionality in spending of my days. There is too much time lost to scrolling and mindlessness. I am using today, my day of rest, to process this and come up with a plan to begin implementing.
This morning’s lift. 💪

This morning’s breakfast. It was savory and tasty. I seasoned the omelette with pepper, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and rosemary.


Today I begin a new phase of my journey towards physical fitness.
I turn 50 on September 7, 2026.
I will weigh 195lbs on that day.
Today, I weigh 259.9.

I keep thinking about what I am seeing online these days and realizing more and more that integrity is the rarest of qualities.
Your Yes to God demands your No to all injustice, to all evil, to all lies, to all oppression and violation of the weak and the poor, to all godlessness and mocking of the holy. Your Yes to God demands a brave No to everything that will ever hinder you from serving God alone, whether it be your profession, your property, your house, your honor before the world. Faith means decision.
