WHEN LIFE INTERRUPTS THE PLAN

Yesterday didn’t go as planned.

Whats that saying again....."Man proposes, God disposes" ...In simple terms, this means that humans can make plans and intentions, but the final outcome is in God’s hands. Life doesn’t always go exactly the way we plan.

You know how some days feel busy, yet when you look back you can’t really explain where the time went? That was yesterday for me. I had every intention of writing this post, staying disciplined, and keeping the Lose Weight or Die Trying journey moving forward. I even had an event to attend that I didn't want to miss.

Then life happened.

My little boy fell and hit his head, and suddenly the day became about hospital visits, worry, and making sure he was okay. Everything else stopped.

Thankfully, he is fine, and for that I am deeply grateful to God.

Moments like that remind you of something important: life doesn’t pause for our plans.

Fitness journeys, weight loss goals, productivity plans—none of them exist in isolation. Real life happens around them. Children fall. Work piles up. Unexpected situations arise.

The old me might have called yesterday a failure. Thankfully I didn't indulge in the opportunity to hug a large tub of Hagen Daz ice cream, swim in a pot of soft greasy plantain on a bed of 5 fried onion eggs and romance the sugary jam dougnut I had been missing .....

I handled things and saw things differently.

Yesterday wasn’t a failure. It was simply life being life. And the real test of this journey is not perfectio, it’s continuing anyway.

So today, I resume despite the emotional trauma.

I will return to my workouts, continue my diet plan, and stay prayerful and positive. Because this journey isn’t about perfect days, it’s about persistence.

So here I am today.

Still on the journey.

Still committed.

Because Lose Weight or Die Trying was never meant to be about perfect days. It’s about refusing to quit on imperfect ones.
