    Hey there you crazy OMADers. I know I have ghosted this past week and half, but I have been super busy! Still on course, just doing my thing until inspiration hits!

    This is such a great thread, Sammy! I'm only a few pages in, but I look forward to reading about your progress for motivation. I'm technically on my second week, and I feel great (although I haven't really lost any weight yet). I'm so glad I discovered OMAD! <3

    It has been a pretty good week. I have been reining that eating back in. I have a goal for march. I am going to record my weight, and what I ate the previous day, daily. I am calling it Microscope March. I am not doing it to attain a certain goal weight. I feel like this might recharge my batteries and put my eating in the forefront of my mind.

    Tomorrow is the first day of Microscope March. So I thought I would jot down some goals (not weight based)

    1. Planning my meals out more conscientiously. *Most days my meals are already cooked when I arrive home. Perks of having a disabled mom who lives with you and babysits the children.* This means I will mentally have to engage with food choices, instead of mindlessly eating what is already cooked.
    2. Weighing everyday *This is usually easy for me, but if I miss a day, I am always too afraid to step back on.* This means I will need to stay away from negative and dismissal thoughts. I am always more mindful on days I weigh.
    3. Cutting back on the Artificial Sugar. *I generally have a large diet coke at lunch, and a fake sweetened tea with my OMAD.* I used to do a clean fast (coffee and water only), but when I get lax that diet coke craving comes back.
    4. Rounding Calorie Counting. *I have never really made a big deal out of counting my calories, just simply for the fact that I eat once a day. However, lately I am sure that I have been eating 2k to 2.5k calories in my OMAD* I am hoping that this will bring me back from maintain to losing again.

    Embarking on a challenge, that I will probably gripe about later *** Priceless***

    Gripe away! That's why we're here...and trust me, none of us like the process anyway HAHA - those are some lovely goals you've got there :)

    If it takes a closer look then it does. Sounds like a plan!

    Those are some great goals for March, Sammy! I also need to focus a lot more on #1. My husband cooks about half of the time, and I tend to just mindlessly scarf down whatever he's prepared, regardless of whether it's an ideal choice or not. Here's to a new month with new goals and (hopefully) more losses! :)

    Really like your goals, you are already being so mindful in creating them. You can totally do this!

    Microscope March
    March 1st

    Daily Weigh in - 176.2

    Previous Nights Meal Included...

    2 Thin Pork Chops (320)
    Au-gratin Potatoes (300)
    Sweet Kernel Corn (60)
    Snack Chex Mix (210)
    4 Danish Butter Cookies (160)

    Intake - 1,050 Calories

    I ate the Chex Mix at 4:45 before leaving work, then had my main meal at 5:15.

    We are off to a good start. Another all time low for me, and I hope to keep moving downward. I am definitely being more sensible, because I know that I am going to have own up to my meal. :)

    AWESOME Boo!!! Gotta love those new lows! I wish I could keep my cals that low...I could probably get away without fasting if I did! Perhaps I'll try that for a week and see what happens!
