    Yeah I think it's more around monitoring it constantly and watching the trend of the average and if it starts to rise it means there could be something wrong e.g. getting sick, overtraining etc...

    I'm still sick this morning. Been sick since last Thurs Evening. Went and got some antibiotics from the Dr. on Fri but it is still hanging on. I think I'm doing better but will probably miss work today since still coughing a bit and don't sound or feel too good. Take care all.

    Thanks all for your well-wishes.

    Felt better today and went to work. Took some homemade pickle juice with me to drink cause it had a lot of garlic and pepper in it which I thought would be good for treating my congestion. It totally killed my appetite! Don't know how great it is to sip the vinegary stuff on an empty stomach but it sure did work great with killing my appetite. I made a new batch of pickles tonight and am going to try it again tomorrow!

    I do take the 2 tb of acv before my omad meal and nothing happens...
    would fasting a bit more in this state that you are in help actually heal you better/faster? seeing that fasting is a healing tool? have you considered it or else you are ripping the benefits of your fasting window?

    Yummmmm.... pickle juice....
    I heard it's really good for helping you get in electrolytes, too!

    Also good to sooth and help prevent muscle cramps!

    Great plan on workout days. I have found that as I get closer to goal weight, I need something after my AM workouts as well.

    Bob, have you ever made yourself pickle pops? My niece, just like my hubby and daughter, love pickle juice. Anyway, my niece said she freezes pickle juice. I mad some for my hubby and daughter and they kill me! My daughter tried and loved it, but threw it out because she was "disturbed" she loved it. My husband refuses to try for fear he may like them! Omg!

    That makes sense then, @mistymeadows2005! Electrolytes help with cramping!
    Also, I have never heard of pickle pops, and I am now very offended that I have gone this long without having them in my life, @wsandy8512.

    Lol @brittdee88, I never even heard of them until last March. I love pickles, the juice? Nope. Hope you like them if you try! :)

    Pickle pops! Now I think that is going a bit too far! I think my wife might be a candidate though.

    I think those pops would eat a person's teeth away!

    How do you know nothing is happening? I don't know what is best for getting better fasting or not. I do know I'm on antibiotics and I need to take them with food so I'm not totally fasting right now. Yesterday, I ate a little bit of sunflower seeds to take my antibiotics but only the pickle juice after.

    Lmao! Omg, you sound like my hubby sans the added concern about teeth. Too funny!

    Walked 1.4-miles today and that was about all I felt like doing. Still on the mend but getting better!

    Met my running goal (break 29-min in 5k) but didn't get weight goal (lose 4-lbs). I actually gained 1-lb. Next month will hopefully be better. I think if I wouldn't have gotten sick and if I delt with scout camp better, I could have come close on the weight and I would probably have broken 28-min for the 5k. Next month!

    There's always next month! Gotta take it easy when you're sick, for sure...

    I actually think I did pretty good. I probably did OMAD maybe less than 10-times and managed to only go up 1-lb and didn't workout for more than a week so for me that shows maintenance is possible!

    Maintenance is always what worries me the most, so that's great news.
