    Today's weight 165.0

    Did very bad on the water yesterday. In thinking on it, I did not drink any water yesterday. I was at a church service and got back home after midnight and I drank about 16 ounces of water before going to bed so I actually had water today and not yesterday. I hope to do better today.

    Sweet one pound lost overnight, that’s great!

    Did you drink anything at all yesterday?

    Way to go Tracey! I don't think I could dry fast ---I think I would have to have something to drink during that time!
    you are doing amazing! <3

    I thought I was doing bad by not drinking water so I looked into it and found dry fasting. Some of the experts say "1 day of dry fasting is the equivalent of 3 days of water fasting."

    When I get back to my Thursday fast, I think I will make it a dry fast since I struggle with drinking water aaanyway.

    Today's weight 162.6 pounds. A 2.4 overnight loss.

    I wish I could get excited over this but this is not progress, It is rebounding from prior weeks of bad decisions. I really need to get it in gear so I can see some real progress. My lowest weight since this reboot was 161.3 so in order for me to make real progress I need to be below this weight.

    Tracey you are still doing great! Don't be too hard on yourself, you had a bad week and you are getting back on track --you are still an inspiration <3 and you have not given up. Life happens and we all make some bad choices along the way --but getting back on track and not giving up is the most important thing! I am super proud of you!!!! :D

    I have also been reading about the dry fast---there seems to be a lot of research about that.

    I broke my fast this morning. I am going to do a day of sensible eating today.

    My fast break meal this morning was 2 boiled eggs and a mix of strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, and honeydew melon. Put in MFP and the calorie total was 224 calories. I am going to have a salad for lunch and not sure about dinner yet.

    Tracey, I couldn’t agree more with @volgirl1322. You are an inspiration and instead of throwing your hands in the air and giving up due to a bad week and some bad days, here you are. I don’t ever want to make anyone feel like they have to stick around, but as someone who failed and walked away... you quickly bounced back, took control, and for me that makes you awesome role model. We need people like you who carry on to be an example for the rest of us.

    You’re a wonderful person, Tracey, please don’t beat yourself up. I’m happy you’re down even further today, you’ll be under your reboot weight again soon. Keep your beautiful chin up and your beautiful smile on :)

    Thanks Sandy, I love your words of wisdom and encouragement and really missed them when you were gone. I am so glad you are back and never want you to leave me again. :)

    I am encouraged and feel I am now motivated to do what needs to be done. I am not sure what that will look like plan wise, (as I have not been able to stick to an established plan) but I know I will not be going off the rails eating things and then regretting having eaten them afterwards. I will take it one day at a time and knowing all of my OMAD Revolution friends are with me will keep me on the right path.

    Happy Friday OMAD Fam, it is official Friday.

    My official weight for the week is 162 pounds. I am happy with this weight as I was able to drop 0.7 pounds after a 3 meal day which followed a 3 day fast.

    I am encouraged by this and am motivated to continue the losses. My dinner yesterday was 1 BBQ country style rib, some mixed beans, and a corn bread muffin. I am really happy to report I was able to resist getting food after our late night church service where they had fried chicken/fried fish with green beans, mac & cheese, potato salad with homemade peach cobbler. I made the bold move to go and sit in the car while the others got their food so I would not make a decision I would be regretting later.

    This has been a long week for me having to travel 1.5 hours each of the last three nights for a women's convention. I enjoyed the services, but getting home after midnight each night and having to work the next morning was not fun. I averaged about 5 hours of sleep those nights and hope to be able to catch up on my sleep this weekend.

    Still no plan for the new week, but my goal is to get out of the 160's.

    Hope you're able to relax and sleep in this weekend. Sounds like you've had a busy week! And good job resisting all that yummy food too!

    LOVING the bold moves babe! Sometimes we hafta do what we hafta do, and recognize that in ourselves :) Proud of you!

    Nice loss for the week and you'll be outta the 160s for sure! I know you had planned trying the m-w minis and thurs fast - that'd let you eat a little more freely this weekend? And I'm usually good for a 2ish pound loss when I stick to it :)

    KUTGW BEAUTIFUL!!!

    Thank you Ladies,

    Well I decided on an early OMAD today and a chocolate kake shake when I get home from work.

    I ate my meal at about 11:15

    0z9qpvx9dxcl.png
    swedish meatballs, fried cabbage, macaroni and cheese, blackeyed peas, and corn bread

    The entire day's intake including the shake is 1001 calories

    They have donuts at work and I am really really trying to resist getting one. They are in the office across the hall so if I just stay in my office, I can resist but just knowing they are there and everyone asking me to go get one is really testing my resolve. My mind is telling me it is Friday, but I am remembering the last friday I had donuts was what led to my 12 pound gain that I still have not completely lost yet. No donut for this girl. No donut, no donut, no donut.

    You've got this girl! Stay strong! That donut will not defeat you!!!!

    Stay the course babe!!!

    I have not had swedish meatballs in forever and a day! They look so good.

    Woot on 162, that's like ten pounds in a week, right? I know most of it was from your water weight gain and salt intake, but still, that's fantastic. You've gotten back on track and that's what is most important, you'll rid that last two pounds and be in the 150's in two shakes of a lamb's tail! :-)

    (((Tracey)))) I won't be leaving again, I'm so sorry. Thanks for your super kind and heartfelt words :-)

    That looks so good. I would inhale the meatballs and fried cabbage. YUM
    Keep staying strong!

    OK, I got off work a bit early and was able to avoid the donuts. :D:D I finished my chocolate kale shake at 4:00 and I am done eating for today and am about to take a nap.

    I actually had a loss of 11.4 pounds from Monday's weight of 173.4 so it was a good loss for the week. I just need to keep the losses coming so I am not in recovery mode every week.
