Comments: A 3rd day in a row of OMAD and it's getting easier. Hopefully it helps!
My knees are bugging me a bit right now. Raised my riser on my box jumps again this week and I hope my body adjusts because I want to keep doing better with it. The box is now just a tad below my knees and I'm hoping to hit right at knee height for next week's box jumps, but we will see how my knees feel about that.
You are amazing! OMAD is tough... last I did it, it took me a loooong time to engage with it. And oh that box jump height
I could never make that jump. 
I laugh just thinking of my attempt at that Ashley. 
I hope your knees feel better---you're a trooper-- you never give in or give up--- inspiring!!0 -

@ssssanaaaa You got this!! I gave up carbs a long time go, and very rarely want them...but if you really like rice and want something low cal, try Miracle Noodle Shirataki Rice. By itself, it sort of doesn't have a flavor, but it's pretty good in recipes...there's other things like Miracle Noodles too, spaghetti type, ziti (which I used to make macaroni salad once...turned out really good...)ssssanaaaa wrote: »Comments: Weighed in at 188.8 this morning.. I was dumb and had a little rice yesterday thinking it wouldn't affect me because it was only a little but it ALWAYS affects me. I'm not having any rice until I get to 185.0. It makes me feel like I'm going backwards in my tracks when I see the scale go up like this. I hate it. And it's really discouraging too. No more until 185. It's like my weakness. Other people regular things are their weakness like cookies or brownies or burgers. For me it's rice. Go figure. Lol. ANYWAY, I forgot my earbuds at the gym today and it made running extremely boring for me. And I was focused on how much time was left the entire time. Tonight I will be under my calories AND will not have rice. How ridiculous lol Hopefully scale is nicer to me tomorrow.

@SLIMn2016 I know, that's why I said the real challenge was choosing one lol. and you picked a good one!Oh this is hard for me... I have a verrrrry long play list (a lot of my music came from Spinning Class tracks bc they'er fast---I move more). I just added some new songs so it's hard to choose just one---GAAAH--ok, I think I'd choose;
Rage Against the Machine, "Testify"

@SLIMn2016 My knees do feel better, it's likely the box jumps, the 20 mins on the elliptical and then the 1 hour on the treadmill and my trainer wants me to change the incline every 2 mins because she says that after 2 mins your body gets used to it and your hr levels off, so I go up every 2 mins until I get to 10 mins, then I take it back down a little and then go back up, that way I'm constantly challenging my body, so it was probably a combination of those things!You are amazing! OMAD is tough... last I did it, it took me a loooong time to engage with it. And oh that box jump height I could never make that jump. I laugh just thinking of my attempt at that Ashley.

Track: Yes
Calories: Yes
Exercise:Yes, 60 mins weight training, 60 min walk
Comments: OMAD again today, let me tell you, OMAD got a lot easier when I stopped waiting for dinner to roll around to eat. I eat at lunch time and eat a little bit bigger meal and then I'm just not hungry again until lunch time the next day.
Side note guys: My mom called me today and wanted me to tell her how to do keto, she then proceeds to tell me that she doesn't have time to count calories or plan meals....I tried to explain to her that keto isn't a magic pill....I watch what I eat, I plan what I eat, and I work hard, my results are the product of my hard work and efforts and that you have to be willing to put in the work...This conversation makes me want to make one of those stick figure comics where it says something like Judy complains about being fat, asks for advice, and chooses not to help herself, don't be like Judy...okay now, that was probably meaner than I meant it, but it's the same old conversation I have with my mom. I tell her that I make myself a priority, because in effort to make lasting change in your life you have to take time for yourself and make yourself a priority, yes it's time consuming to do these things but it's worth it...8 -

Are we sharing a mother? Seriously I have to do often maintenance calls to see if my mom is on track. She had started weight watchers again a couple months ago, which is good for her. But she refuses to give up a couple things that sabotage her entire day and make it hard to stay on track.
I get that we can't change another adults behavior, but it is hard and painful to watch your parents blatantly refuse to see their health is poor, and try nothing to help.2 -

Tracked: Yes
Calories: under dramatically
Exercise: yes
Exercise was my usual water aerobics. And, then some medicine ball exercises at home for my core.
I did almost OMAD today because I ran out of time. I had lunch, then took a coffee with just cream to the Y with me a couple hours later when my kids had swim practice. My oldest passed a tough swim team test this week. We are super proud, but it changes her practice so that it goes 1.5 hrs later than our boys. So we sit at the YMCA for 3hrs each night(this isn't including drive time)! It just started Tuesday, so we will work out a plan. But by the time we drove home, I just wanted to sleep.2
