Sammy's OMAD Path

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!0

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! 0

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!0

Nice loss for the week and awesome plan!

When I am mindful of what I am eating the goal is to feel satisfied, but not full. If not it is full on binge mode attack! Which is over 2k cals, and leaves me feeling so full that I can't move. (or at least don't want too)Brendalea69 wrote: »Nice loss for the week and awesome plan!sunnycobayo wrote: »Yasss, keep on slaying, Sammy! Nice loss!

That is a super low. Would love anything in the 170s. I am hoping to hit 184 tomorrow too but not sure if it will happen.

You might just make it! Trust me, it has taken me a long time to get to the 170's. Most of the time I was like "nope, ain't going to happen." I lost the majority of my weight super fast like within the first three to four months. Then I got lazy and still had losses but nothing to WOW over.
You have this, just trust how your body feels. I know when I start throwing out goal weights, my mind gets frazzled and that is all I can focus on. I also beat myself up if I don't meet the goal. So I have moved away from the race, and have gone into consistent marathon mode.0 -
That sounds like an awesome plan for March, and looks like you're off to a great start!1

I would have ate two, but my children begged to half that other one. Zebra cakes are my favorite of the little debbie selection.0 -
Ooooh, man, I love me some tater tots. I feel like potatoes are so delicious, no matter how you make them!0

I LOVE your goals for this month! You're doing great -- keep it up!0
