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.

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 -

Standing ovation for educating your mom! Sometimes people don't fully understand the work and effort it takes to meet weight loss goals, and may just want quick results or simply are discouraged.
You did your due diligence by giving her the information she asked for, but at the end of the day, your mom has to decide on making lifestyle changes and putting health first.
My brother is vegetarian, and he wanted me to try eating at least no meat for a week (this was a couple of years ago). In my mind, I thought "Uh, no way sir!" He asked to cook something for me, and I obliged. He made a delicious eggplant parmesan, and made me change my mind and tried no meat for a week. It actually was not that difficult! I am not a vegetarian, but was able to shortly experience the benefits. Maybe you could make your mom a keto meal to try? Or send recipes/YouTube videos, etc?
Congrats on the OMAD plan! You are kicking butt!1 -

Ok.... I kinda expected this for a few reasons.
1 - I haven't been drinking enough water, and I know I am retaining.
2 - TOM is approaching and will hit any day now
3 - I have been eating pie every night since Saturday..... (Pies made by the Amish are DIVINE...)
So yeah. I have been indulging and not being mindful of my water intake. I am working on the water.... I don't want the pies to go bad... so I will be eating them into the weekend, and hoping they will be gone by Sunday. haha Family will be over, so they will all help!2 -

@Bm00re2u I have many times, Thanksgiving dinner is at my house every year and I always make keto versions of all the family dishes and she always eats them and says they're just as good as the carb loaded versions my family has always made. She has keto cooking experience too, she actually has gotten really good about making food my husband and I can eat when we visit, she always calls me ahead and asks me how to make it low carb and I tell her.
I'm preparing to share all of my keto recipes with her this week, I keep them online and I'm about to create an account for her and copy them all into it, actually that's my plan for today before work, but I have to visit the doctor first. I really try to help her, and really everyone that asks me for help, but I have to be honest, it's really one of the most frustrating things when I go out of my way to help her and then after like a week she thinks it too hard. I always say that change is hard in the beginning but it gets easier, becomes habit....."If you want to change you have to be willing to be uncomfortable."
I think the issue is that our results (mine and my hubby's) speak for themselves, he's lost 70+ lbs diet only, and at this point I think I'm at 67 lbs with diet and exercise, but realistically she could lose with just diet, assuming she's willing to put in the work, but she has to be, no one will do it for her....(and now that I'm saying that out loud and thinking about it, there is probably a business idea in there somewhere....) so I've given her the tools, even set up her tracker app while I was on the phone with her...so we will see where it goes, but I'm being realistic so I won't be disappointed...after all, her track record isn't great.
I really think it's great you gave your brother's way a try! Also, it's pretty great your brother can cook, lol, mine can't, and for that matter, my husband either. I honestly don't think I could do the vegetarian thing, for a few reasons, and at this point I'm not sure I want to mess with my diet, especially since it's working and I've never felt better and never been so healthy!

@tinak33 Hang in there, TOM is always a jerk, and maybe, less pie might help? just saying lol. If I have things in the house I don't want, I perform a magic trick, I send the dishes to work with my husband and they come home empty...ta da! lol.

HAHAHA
I have family members with food allergy issues, and I don't always know who can't have what.
So if they come over, and eat it, great. If not, well then..... Ima hafta take one for the team.
I would bring it to work, but most of the people here are also watching what they eat. So maybe 1 or 2 people might have some....? Oh well. I got a small pecan pie and a normal size apple crumble pie. There is a little less than half of the pecan pie (it's a 6" pie), and most of the apple left. Only 2 gone slices so far. Plus the pumpkin pie that is gone, and my mom had made flan (OMG....
) And that is finally gone (she finished it last night). We rarely have 1 dessert in the house. And this past week we have had SOOOOO MANY!!
I always gain 2-5 lbs during TOM... So I expect that. But with the combination of pies and not enough water, I'm not sure what is because of what.
So today my goal is to drink 2 bottles of water while at work. My bottle is 50.7 oz. So that would be 101 oz by the end of the work day.1 -

Okay I give up. What is TOM? I know what OMAD means, and IF but I can't figure out TOM. How does TOM make you gain weight?1

I hate water. Nutritionist said to drink 32 oz first thing in the morning. Then a gallon (128 oz) for rest of day. It has helped me to cut up a navel orange or cucumbers in my gallon water jug and leave overnite. At least it has a taste.
