I missed you guys too! As of today I'm going to try to stick to basic omad for a week or two before I get back on my normal schedule...today is my last day of antibiotics but I have another 10-12 days of steroids so I'm taking it easy, but the eating has gotten pretty chaotic and excessive since I started feeling better so I need some regimen to get back on track - I PROMISE I'm going to try to be diligent on getting caught up with everyone's progress

Checking in guys... I omaded yesterday w the exception of a little powdered creamer in my coffee... My omad was half a BLT, a side salad with beans corn and blue cheese crumbles, and some nachos followed by a little candy. I'm going to start getting better at tracking the calories in my meal so I can get back on track but I'm not going to push it so that I don't ruin my momentum or give up... Stay tuned for pictures of my omad tomorrow

I'm so happy you are back!!!
What's in the works for today's OMAD?0 -
Ced's coming over, so meatloaf, mashed taters, and corn...I dunno if I'LL eat that but that's what's on the menu for the house...I'm not a huge meatloaf fan (though I do like my own recipe better than most).
I'll take pictures of that and whatever I eat either way though So far so good today, just black coffee, water and ACV 0 -
Sounds yummy! I wish I would've picked up some potatoes. I think I will have some next week.1

Welp guys... Omad has been pretty good... 2maded yesterday bc I had a funny schedule that threw me off but I still stayed around my tdee and got lotsa fruits and veggies in so that's good. Just kinda taking it easy on being super strict until I'm off of these steroids etc.... Feeling good for the most part, just feeling a lil chubby but that's ok... I know half of it is in ma head.. Stay tuned as things get more regimented0

Fasting Day #1 - going to try to fast until Weds dinner (72hour fast) - I'm finally done w the steroids which has been affecting my hunger and cravings (and probably how fast I gain weight) - so glad that's a non-factor now. I'll probably be stalking everyone for motivation when the mental cravings kick in (I don't give 2 sh**s about the physical hunger....never has bothered me).
Happy Monday Y'all!2 -
Best wishes for a successful fast...We'll be here for you if you need us.1

Fasting went well! I was craving salt like CRAZY this morning so I had a few pickles when I got to work after I weighed in - maybe 20 cals so it shouldn't pull me out of fasting...I won't break the fast until tonight so it'll be a full 72 hours.
Weigh In - my official "restarting weight" will be 186.8 which is what I weighed this morning. That means I gained back about 7-8 lbs over the course of the last 3 months...not fun, but recoverable. Still shooting to be back at my lowest of 179 by the end of february - if I stick to the plan that should be more than doable...the first 4 pounds should come off by next week.
Stay tuned for pictures (as long as I can get myself back in the habit again
) 1 -
You can do it!1

Thanks Tracey! I think I'll be ok now that I'm mostly through my first full long fast...I made myself do it and it got me back in the habit so I think we'll make it

7-8 lbs over 3 months (which includes the holidays and being deathly ill) is pretty damn good if you ask me. I can gain that much in a WEEK of unrestricted eating no probs...
Good luck, you can totally drop those 4 lbs!!1 -
Ok no excuses, let's get you back on track!1

YES! Thank you Jim! Other than some dill pickles around lunchtime (I was extraordinarily in need of salt apparently) which I don't THINK should have pulled me out of fasting, I stuck to a normal OMAD yesterday...quite a few cals, I'll have to add them up but that's not unusual on days I'm breaking the long weekly fast - here's the pic of the main part - a big salad with red lettuce and romaine, with some corn, tomatoes, onions, and chicken with some B-Dubs spicy garlic wing sauce and some bleu cheese dressing, and then a little tater tot cassarole - I made that breadstick thing but ate one bite and didn't like it so didn't eat it...I also didn't eat a good chunk of the salad as I got a little full and wanted room for some fruit. I also ate an orange, an apple with a lil peanut butter, and a few bites of candy. I WAS FULL. But this morning I'm not hungry at ALL and don't forsee an issue with OMADing like normal, with a much smaller meal LOL.
As long as I follow protocol I should be good to be under 180 by EOM That'd made me happy.
ALSO I'm going to try REALLY hard to pepper in some body weight exercises throughout my day...being sick for so long means my sad little lower body muscles have atrophied a bit and I need to regain some strength and shape. Stay tuned on progress on that. I'm drinking enough water that if I throw squats in every time I go pee I should be good
Gotta get dat booty back!
Stay tuned for next week's weigh in for progress...cross your fingers for 184 for me as that's my goal for next week...might do a 96 hour next week if I'm feeling spunky

Happy Friday guys! Another successful OMAD day...still probably a little more food than I'd like for my normal OMAD but I'll take it...getting back into the habit is half the battle. Dinner was as pictured - Big salad with mixed greens tomatoes onions and bleu cheese dressing, and oven roasted chicken w some buff sauce on the side - not pictured a good hunk 'o' tater tot cassarole, some grapes, and some skittles.
Happy to be getting back to this WOE...I'm still getting some of the residual cravings during the day but not so much physical hunger, so that's something. I can't upload pics from my phone so I'll have the weekend food pics for ya on Monday - have a super weekend OMADers!
