It’s Day 99 of the last 100 Days of 2025!!!
How was your last 100 days of 2025?
I learned a lot in mine. I’m down at least four pounds and maybe more. I have some big unaccounted for fluid fluctuations that makes the scale measurements difficult. I’m eating lean and in the gym, so it will all work itself out. It’s a win for me as I recover from the injury I sustained 18 months ago.
Shoot an email back to me with the progress you made in the last 100 days.
I will keep emailing some thoughts as we navigate 2026, but I don’t want to bug you either…. if I am bugging you, unsubscribe here:
Looking to 2026
Let’s all take some time this week to reflect on the new year ahead and its new opportunities.
My favorite place to do that is right by a river, listening to the river sounds and just being quiet inside and open to a direction. The river is a symbol of direction and the path forward. It’s the perfect place for this reflection.
Lately though it’s been rainy and cold here, not the best circumstances for reflecting on the bank of a river. I found a hot tub here in central California with a view of palm trees and sunset, so I do my reflection there these days.
There is always a place to reflect!
Reflecting on Good Day Strategies
As you look ahead to 2026, I encourage you to embrace a big project here at Eat Like a Bear: Our “Good Day Strategies.” These are really simple: It’s the things you do on good days to make things a little easier for you on bad days. It’s obvious (but the simplest things to do are the simplest not to do….).
I discuss Good Day Strategies in this video how I have implemented the strategy daily over 15 years (now over 20 years): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78HNxQnlAJ4
We’re implementing them all through 2026, together here at Eat Like a Bear. You will hear far more about them from me than you will about salads and skillet dishes (though I’m definitely still eating them back here and you can ask me anything about them).
Good Day Strategies are so important that I hope you embrace the opportunity to build these structures for yourself. Deep Den members can bring a Plus1 to the Den this year to work on these structures together.
The Deep Den is a paid member area, but I’ve got 20 bonus spots for people who are ready to implement. I will send out an email on Thursday January 1 with a very simple way to get one of these spots. Watch the video above in the meantime. (I’m still behind on sending out some window clings, so I will work on that today..)

LIVE Videos
Join me for a public LIVE video to mark 2026, next Wednesday January 7 at 9 am Pacific. We’ll reflect on our progress in the last 100 days of 2026 and set intentions for the year to come.
(If you’re in the Deep Den, I need to cancel our regular LIVE video tomorrow. Happy New Year! I’ll see you in the Den.)
That’s it!! Go be awesome!!!
