Thank you JP...Saturday night I started feeling punky and took tylenol. Checked my temp afterwards and it was 100....could not sleep at all Saturday night. Sunday was tired, achy, feverish, chills. Just sat in my recliner till bed time. Slept & woke up with no weird feelings at all. Did have a soaked nite shirt tho. Stayed resting all day and thought I could make dinner but as soon as I got to the kitchen counter I was like...nahhhhhh...so just ordered Chinese which was a good decision. May take one more day off from jogging tomorrow as just going up the stairs burns my thighs...
Steph...lol...yeah I guess any pink, red dots or fat ( I call em googlies
) on any meat ...I can't do.
Had 1/2 unwhich jimmy john yesterday for dinner and that was it. Today the chinese...Mongolian beef, veggie egg foo young and some kind of tofu. Yogurt for dessert. Was up .5 on Saturday and down 2.5 this morning....That loss had to be the night sweats from the fever so I wound kiss those pounds goodbye just yet. Steph def is teaching me tolerance towards the scale when I see the great results she has had and the overnight fluctuations being 100% a non factor.
Wishing everyone strength during these trying times

Good Omad day. Getting easier to wait thru any short hunger periods....I just think of the fasting/weight loss reward. Still have elevated heart rate so did not jog. Hoping to go tomorrow. Had salmon ( chopped it up) and Costco kale salad and yogurt with chia seeds and walnuts for dessert. Had a gain overnight but was to be expected for sure with the night sweats the other night. Plus...I'm wondering if the weight loss from the other night could have also been water released from my muscles from not jogging?
Hope everyone is doing & feeling well

Good omad day. Had chicken and mushrooms in lemon butter sauce, asparagus, carrots and salad.
Didn't jog again because blood pressure was 90/70...too low for me. Tomorrow and the next day it's supposed to snow so won't do it then either. After that hopefully the bod is ready to go. No weight loss or gain today. Hope everyone has a great night :0)

Hope that you are A-OK If you can't jog, then just treat it like an off day. I do the same when my vertigo acts up. Your OMAD looks delicious
1 -
I hope you're feeling better and get to jog soon.1
-
OH NO!!!! I'm sorry the bug gotcha, but glad it was short lived and you're on the road to recovery!!!
I'm SO GLAD you're learning to take the scale with a grain of salt - there are SO many factors in weight loss on the scale so you gotta dig through that crap to find the REAL weight LMAO
That food all looks DELISH!!! I had salmon this week tooooooo (Tues on my baby OMAD)
H'OH BOY, you'd better watch that blood pressure!!! Do you traditionally have issues or you think it's just the lil cold/bug hangin on?1 -
JP, thank you yeah with the first covid shot I had to wait a while to start jogging again and was surprised I was able to do my 4 miles easily...so I'm not worried.
LiLee, feeling good just still some tiredness when I stand. Thanks; I'll be A-OKKKKK soon
Steph, I was expecting/ afraid of worse after my reaction to the 1st vaccine. After 2nd vaccine on Saturday what's lingering is the low bp. I'm on meds for high bp but was at 107/72 ( really good number) and thinking of cutting pill in half. After 2nd vaccine my bp plunged....so I'm cutting bp pill in half and waiting for bp to normalize before I exert myself. When I got covid it really affected my bp to the down side...like 85/5
5 and maybe way lower when I was too sick to check...but it took months to get it back to a normal range. So I'm monitoring it this time. If it isn't normal I'll go to the doc Monday. I'm realllllllly bad about going to the doc...heck I don't even go when I'm literally dying
I have to be careful and aware tho...my dad passed away from CIDP ( chronic form Guillain Barre). It completely paralyzed him ( lungs too) only able to move his eyes and mouth. He got it after a tetanus shot... extremely rare. It was horrible.
Had a good omad day. Was stressed so def had more urge to eat but did not. Had a fillet again, hollandaise, green beans and coleslaw. Had yogurt too. Gonna try to put a solid effort in as sisters and I are meeting in Vegas late next month. Would love another 8 pounds off
"angels sing"
Hope everyone is feeling strong and positive :0) I've been looking at a lot of success photos and if they all can do it We all can too!
weight stayed exactly the same "whan whan whannnnn"

Yassssss with that filet Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom - do you make your hollandaise from scratch?! That's a fun culinary skill to have!!!! I NEVER think to make it but I should start 🤔🤔🤔1
-
Steph...yes, I use Ina Garten's easy peasy recipe: https://www.foodnetwork.com/videos/easy-to-make-hollandaise-sauce-0200311
It's very good
Been having very good omad days. No calories at all before or after my one meal. weight is just staying the same but will probably wake up to a 2 pound loss soon. Started jogging ...3 days in a row so far and will keep at it everyday. No problem stating back up. Cut my blood pressure pill in half and bp was 102/65 last night still too low on the bottom number. Will see do in about two weeks and see what she has to say. Hang in there everyone :0)

innards of a pot pie, eggs in purgatory, cod with cabbage. Had yogurt for dessert on most nights. Added a premier protein shake with dinner tonight. 30 grams of protein. I def was lacking in protein and will try to remember to have one with my omad from now on.

Hi Kat 👋
You're doing great getting back into OMAD and I had a set back also but hoping that I can maintain the loss this time. I didn't get covid19 that I know of 🤷♀️I just had my first Pfizer shot on the 16th and only had a very sore arm. I get my second vaccine shot May 7th and am not looking forward to it at all. Glad you're feeling better from yours. Best of luck to us both on our weight loss journey's 🙏💜1 -
Hiya Brenda Easy to get set back this past year. I'm trying to use this omad time to establish new habits that I can keep forever. A lot easier on the brain to just follow a routine. I'm doing low carb and it's been hella helping me not have uncontrollable cravings to cave into. I think it's going to help me in the long run even if I don't always do omad after losing the weight. I love regular omad but for me I needed to keep taming my insulin in order to not give into uncontrollable urges after omad is behind me. I'm def not suffering or wanting for anything so I'm very happy to be in control.
Hopefully you will have a normal reaction to the second shot. My son had his 2nd yesterday and said he just feels tired. Hubby had felt restless thru the night, headachy and achy with his for just 6 hours.
Let's do this together and by Christmas we should all be feeling good
Had chili & salad and greek yogurt/almonds/walnuts for dessert. Had a premier shake right before dinner. Protein is the one thing I felt I was lacking on.
Weight went up .4....dang my fat sure likes to hold on...but...I already knew that
Got my jog in this morning and it was sleeting on me the whole way.

Eggs in purgatory LMAO
Is that like Shakshuka?! Looks like it!!! and looks DELISH!!!!0 -
Steph I just looked that up. It's almost the same but a couple less ingredients in mine...lots of slivered garlic. It's good comfort food.
My weight is staying the same the last few days. Gonna take a lil break from the scale till I feel things moving. I don't want a psychological hang up when I'm doing everything I set out to do. Keeping up my jogging and one meal. I did start to have a protein shake about 45 min before my meal because I felt like I wasn't getting enough protein. Hope everyone is doing splendidly
2 -
Had a good OMAD day and morning jog. Got out of the house to run some errands in the afternoon and that made the day go by quickly. I've been playing 'words with friends' when I stay home and that also def takes my mind off of food completely. Hope everyone is doing wellllllllll
salmon, tzatziki, green beans, 1/5 sweet potato & yogurt for dessert.

Oh boy I finally found your thread. LOL. I probably burned a few hundred calories trying and it only took me two days to figure it out. I least I think I have. Now I can follow you and get more inspiration. Looks like you are doing amazing and I hope my commitment will mirror yours.0
-
Oh gosh BB....this technology stuff is tough! I'm lucky I can go get my son when I need help. Did you figure out how to start your own thread? Thank you for the kind words. We'll all figure this out together. What I'm learning is that I need to stay busy or my brain takes over and woos me over to thinking I have choices. When I'm physically busy my brain isn't as convincingly strong. Establishing physical habits has helped me greatly.
Today was a good OMAD day & got my jog in. It's starting to get warm here and I shed my vest today. Tomorrow I take my daughter for her 2nd vaccine shot and then ...oh boy...I get a mammogram. It'll be a busy day which is good. Ohhhh! I tried a button down shirt on today that was way snug for at least 5 years and it fit nicely! Even had some room.
Much success to all tomorrow; one hour & step at a time 
***had full fat yogurt for dessert.

That mushroom, broccoli, and meat looks sooo perfect!1
-
Your meals look delish. I can’t figure out how to start the thread and even when I go into help there is nothing that refers to a “thread”. I am happy though as I lost 7.2lbs in my first OMAD week. I know a lot is water etc, but I am still very happy and motivated to continue. Great chatting with you guys on here.1
-
OK, I have created a news feed. Is that the same as a thread? Let me know if you can see it.1
-
Thanks Joe, I like me some good eats.
Bonita; you did it! Got your thread going. You're doing great! If the loss slows down don't fret as it adds up over time. Just one step at a time & learning new habits will definitely get us there.
Had a good OMAD couple days. Jogged today but not yesterday because I took my daughter in for her 2nd vaccine shot. Let's all keep rolling. I'm meeting my sisters in Vegas end of May and I can feel a bit of stress mounting but trying ignore it haha.
Still haven't weighed but doing my omad low carb and jogging.
Tika Masala over cauliflower rice and a couple of those tomatoes and radishes.

Kat, WOW you are an inspiration with all the jogging and walking. Dinner looks delish too. I’m very jealous that you can go to Vegas as we are in our 3rd lockdown here in Canada. Hopefully this will be the last time as more people get the vaccines.1
-
Kat your food literally looks AMAZING 😍😍😍 You've inspired some ideas for me this weekend 😁😁😁1
-
Steph, haha great! We can all use some inspiration, especially me!
Rowley, thank you I really do enjoy my outside time. I'm getting sick of cooking dinner but we always have mostly eaten at home. Mostly thinking something up is the hard part. Yes, I'm looking forward to Vegas...I'm a bit of a gambler by nature I guess as I have been trading stocks for 22 years now 
. Last time I went to Vegas I left the floor to go up to my room and traded some stocks as I got bored with the slow return of the slots. I'm too shy to do anything but the slots . I'm looking forward to nice long walks on the strip. Yes....these lock downs are getting to all of us...even those of us that are home bodies.
Yesterday I went kind of nutso....I think I was stressed and didn't do omad. I did stay low carb (25ish?) but I was hungry hungry hungry. It was pretty dumb. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to get back to omad today but it was fine. I guess we can have slip ups but just can't let them go on and on for days. I got my jog in and got back to my normal routine phewwwwwww
Made fajitas for dinner and black beans (low carb tortillas). Couldn't finish my plate...it was just too much. Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow and I guess ....to err is human!

Your food never fails to deliver 😈😈😈1
-
You always put so much thought into your meals. You really do inspire. I’m now going to the grocery store to get some fresh produce and I’ll make a chicken stir fry for dinner. Probably won’t be picture worthy, but the preparation and thought is thanks to you Kat.1
-
Steph...I wouldn't mind food delivered haha actually it pretty much always disappoints- grrrrr
Rowley ...ah thanks for the kind words. I def try to keep my meals simple. I haven't been eating pasta so it's a bit more challenging. I'm lucky hubby and son like repetition so that's what they get.
Omad is going pretty well. Kind of getting a few bites in just before dinner but it's def still within my one hour window. Got and extra long jog in today just because. Starting to get uncomfortably hot outside tho....no likie. Put an old pair of jeans on yesterday and they were very loose. I was super surprised Checked my weight today and was only down 5.1 #'s in April. Seems slow but I put all the weight on 2 #'s a year for the last 30 years so.....that's 2.5 yrs of weight gone
Hope all is well with everyone. Remember we don't have to be perfect just consistent and mindful
*** had yogurt too.
0 -
Pretty good omad day. Had a handful of almonds 30 minutes before dinner but still stayed within the hour eating window.
Got my jog in early at 7:30 am...was afraid it would get too hot again and it was good. Now...tomorrow it's supposed to snow
Had chicken Milanese and baked cabbage for dinner. Had yogurt for dessert.
Hope everyone is doing welllllllll

2.5 years of weight!!! LMAOOOOOO what a great way to look at it!!
