    You know what they say on the airplane. Put your own oxygen mask on first. That's what I'm continually saying to my son - because he takes care of everyone else first and yet he knows that without him, they're toast! Same for you. Take care of yourself first - because you're worth it - because they need you - and because we here at OMAD want you to succeed!!

    I really admire your biking. Keep it up! You inspire me to try it too.

    Amen to all of the above!!! Flip the "what it really looks like" line over and that's pretty much my weight loss chart ;)

    Great day today. Already have 11k steps, finished another planter box and dismantled 2 more pallets, took the dog to the off-leash park, held my snake for the first time in forever and now we're about the watch a movie with the family. I kept busy, so sticking to OMAD was easy :)
    I hope everyone had a great weekend :grin:

    Cheat day today :) I had Costco food court chicken strips and fries :y for lunch and chicken cordon blue with baked potato for dinner. I was in a chicken and potato mood lol. I made my husband go for a walk with me this morning, so I got almost 12k steps in. :)

    Went for a walk, for the time ever, on my lunch break at work. Luckily I work close to a nature trail, it was nice getting off my butt :)

    So good news, I must have at least 10k steps today. Bad news, it's because I lost my tracker at some point while riding home :( and I basically walked most of my route trying to find it.

    It was a beautiful day to walk but it sucks that you lost your tracker, I hope it wasn't very expensive :(

    Woohoo I found my tracker :)
    Today couldn't have been a nicer day for a rare extra day off with my family. I took my dog for an hour walk at the park, than went for a bike ride with my family for 2 hours :)
    Happy Good Friday everyone!!

    Another beautiful morning :)
    Snow is pretty much gone off the mountains, suns out and I had a nice long walk with the dog at the park. Hope everyone's having a great Easter :grin:

    Beautiful view! I wanna bring my long-range thrower searchlights and see how far they'll reach in a setting like that!

    Chewy werthers with chocolate center may be my kryptonite :( One of the ladies in my office always has candy, normally I can pass by without s second thought, not today. I had 400 calories worth of caramel/chocolate lol oh well make room for it in my day and move on. Hopefully they're all gone tomorrow lol :naughty:

    My latest snack obsession :)
    Air popped ( without oil) popcorn with honey/cinnamon/brown sugar tastes like Honey Nut Cheerios :yum:

    @dajoloehr Yay for popcorn! I'm holding out for real butter, however.

    I'm pretty frustrated with myself right now :( April is almost over and It looks like its going to end with a little gain. I'm frustrated because I'm so good at pumping myself up and coming up with goals and plans, then I fail, sometimes miserably. Yesterday was one of those days and so was Thursday. I hate being a downer and eating bad definitely adds to it yet I continue to repeat this cycle. I also noticed yesterday that I'm losing muscle, which make me even more frustrated.I feel like a broken record saying this, pretty much every month lol, so this has got to stop.
    Today I'm starting low carb, I know Saturday is a weird day to start but I cannot wait, my insides hate me from the last 2 days and my brain is working overtime pointing out all the mistakes Ive made and way to solve them. I'm hoping this gets me to where I want to be, OMAD is so simple and I love it, so I'm hoping that with this combo Ill have success.

    Look at this positively - you've just mastered maintenance! I see from your already-outstanding weight loss that you've mastered the first part of the shorter (loss) part of the equation. So now you are prepped to pull up your socks and master the other half. Yay, you've got this!!!

    P.S. Cute kid beside you in your pic!

    You have been doing a great job! If you look the journals of others, you'll see they had gains, losses, weeks with nothing one way or the other. You are still here, which means you are still fighting. Please make peace with yourself that these things happen. Maybe make yourself a weight chart like others are doing (I just started, btw)? You can then see how far you've come despite any gains you've had.

    Don't let the frustration set you back. A bit of a gain is overcomable. You can do it. Have faith in yourself.
