Ok @blambo61 I will be mindful!...
TODAYS NEWS...i HAVE OFFICIALLY DROPPED 10 POUNDS IN 28 DAYS not bad for being 49, menopausal with sluggish thyroids and metabolism.
Since I´ve picked up walking I feel I am dropping volume size by the seconds!
Hurrey!
Woohoo!!! Way to go, Barb!!

I took a pict today wasn´t happy with what I saw... but okey I knew it. Now its time to shift things! motivation on high mode! hurrey come on lets do it!!!
It's always the pictures that are the worst for me - you should see my FB page (not that I go on there much anymore because it was driving me crazy) - there are tons of photos of me from pre-2013 and like 4 after then... No coincidence that I gained weight in 2013... Ugh.
BTW noticed you on the FB group for the Delay Don't Deny IF group (that and a few camping groups are the only things I look at on FB these days)!

Sarah yes I am on the DDD and One Meal a Day FB group, actually of Joe created a group there that would be awesome. Yes I hear you Sarah the pictures... oh well, lets get over it and keep going!
@blambo61 thanks so much!!!!
@wsandy8512 thanks !!! a day at a time isn´t it?
Love to all! Another day has started!!! more room for improvement... I don´t want the negative statistics about menopausal women having difficulties dropping weight to bog me down... will kick of this negative mental programming!!!
I am finding my intuition high rocketing when I fast!! and the spiritual side of it too..so much inner peace and silence!
Be blessed!

@blambo61 been yesterday monitoring my exercise with a fitbit and I do 1 mile fitness walk per time and throughout the day I did 4 miles all the time I was monitoring and the heart rate was always in what fitbit calls 122 more less which is between 50% to 69% of my max cardiac rate which is considered MILD TO MEDIUM EXERCISE... so I recon I am doing good... body and joints are happy and I keep on being mindful...
that was equivalent to 8000 steps 1 -
I know its off topic here but this is what I am doing with my new energy available from OMAD and fasting...
Still one more mile today to reach my goal the image is in spanish Pasos means steps.
Meal for today: Salad with onion tomato letuce, rice, chia seeds beans,brocoli, cucumber, feta cheese and a small chicken organic bio hamburger in a piece of toast.
(haven´t bought yet the brasil nuts suggested by Joe not available in many stores here).

You are doing great! We've got this!1
-
Wow I didn´t think I´d reach the 10.000 steps!!! this was today 7 miles of fitness walk. I did need a nap but I am not feeling exhausted... hurrey!2 -
Haha, Barb, you are too cute! What an awesome walk you had. 0
-
Are you sure that's counting your steps right. 6kms for me is about 11,000 steps. 7 miles seems like it should be way more than 10,000 steps! Unless you have super long model legs!! 0

Your heart and lungs can easily do that each day, it's just the joints that can sometimes give us fits. Sometimes cross-training will allow you to still get the cardio workout each day but gives the joints and feet and such a rest. I've been injured as a skinny kid running track so each body no-matter how light or heavy has to be careful. Good luck!0 -
@minigrrll the fitbit made an error not sure why it shifted to miles all of a sudden. It was 7km because I did 4 miles fitness walk plus my average walking thru town going post office and so forth. overall I did more than 10,000 steps because I stopped monitoring it once I got beyond that stage.
@blambo61 I will keep feeling my body and being mindful of what I can do or not. I appreciate your concern and your advice! Sorry you had that injury... I will join the gymn at some point and use an eliptic machine to do some cardio...
@wsandy8512 Sandy! cute? Wait till I drop all my weight then I´ll be cute!!! lol

30 days of OMAD TODAY! No splurges, no cheating pure OMAD
I am about to eat my Omad now... its 2pm here. Will eat salad with pasta and an omelette in a toast.
Today just did 1 mile, body felt tired and with no energy even my heart rate went to 142 when I tuned into the body and asked what the crack is happening the message was clear:
-Maintenance work...
In other words, the body needs that energy to be performing maintenance tasks so the energy was not available for my miles today..
fair enough, I listen, I honor
Happy fellow omaders!1 -
Congrats on 30 days, Barb!!! That's awesome!1

Playing it low profile exercise wise today too (body seems under some kind of inner workings) so I keep on trusting and listening.
Meal of the day:
tuna fish sandwich with mayonese
salad with: brown rice, egg, tomato, feta cheese, celery, white asparagus, onion, lettuce, oregano, acv, olive oil, black pepper, chia seeds.
1 biscuit as seen in the pict plus tiny bit dark chocolate
Mood: good, just a bit tired.
Hunger levels: low.
No splurges, no cheating
Toilet: I go to the toilet much less since I am in OMAD. Was doing colonic hydrotherapy before I started OMAD and stopped... I love those colonics did me real good.

Thanks folks! I am not a great cook or else I prefer no to spend loads of hours cooking. A salad works great cause I can put in all the healthy veggies..
The bread is a super wholesome bio something type of bread called "Mother" seems really healthy..
A sanwich is almost like a salad you can fit anything in! LOL ! so handy for Lazzy Buddhas!1 -
Nice What is that little statue thing? 0

A little Qwan Yin statue... was hanging there on my table and thought I´d add it to the picture lol...1
