    @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

    :)

    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!

    @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!

    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!
