Starting a weight loss challenge

August 17, 2026 · 1 min read · Health & fitness

Today I started a weight loss challenge, at my brother's suggestion. He, of course, roped in any number of people to participate. I definitely need some accountability when it comes to this, so it should be "fun."

I have a lot of weight to lose overall, but this is a 30-day challenge, so I'll probably use it as a reset. This week is already stressing me out, which doesn't bode well for my adhering to the diet. But, my ankle is feeling mostly back to normal, so maybe I can get back to my daily walks.

Anyway... It's day one. Let's go!
