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!

It was delish! Not gonna lie - had a LOT of tater tot casserole (refer to previous picture for visuals) because it's just so darn good! Between the lettuce, veggies, and grapes, I WAS SO FULL! Fiber #forthewin!1
