    Yep I know....for me sometimes I am my own worst enemy especially if I try to complicate it too much. I have tried low carb but fail miserably at it long term. I do best just eating what I want but just once a day. I have had to have a snack due to some of the meds I am taking bc they cause nausea on an empty stomach but i have tried to keep them light.

    Today is a water fast day so no food for today.

    It is snowing here today so I am enjoying a day in.

    Thanks ladies, I have not been having any problems with my water fasts as of late. I have 3 meatless days next before my official weigh in on Friday.

    So glad you are back....thanks for sharing your food porn with us...….
    How long do you water fast? 24 hours?
  • LadyBlanks
    LadyBlanks Posts: 1,070 Member
    Thank you, Donna, I am happy to be back as well.

    I do my weekly fast from my meal on Sunday to my meal on Tuesday. I ended my meal on Sunday at 6:45 pm and I'll break my fast with my meal today. So far it has been 38 hours. So if I do a real dinner Sunday to dinner Tuesday fast, it will be no more than a 48 hour fast.

    I was up this morning. I think yesterday's meal was too carb heavy. I really want to see 167 come Friday.

    I also think I have been forcing calories on my vegetarian days. Veggies are low calorie and I just have to realize that on those days I may not hit 1000 calories and be fine with it.

    I am thinking to do early meals on Tues-Thursday. I have better results with the early meals as long as I stop with my meal.

    Yeah that's my problem - I won't stop once I start, and I want my food when I can relax and focus on it, not when I'm swamped with work.

    Trace, I shoot for 500 or less cals 3 days a week and it hasn't hurt my progress at ALL - PLUS I follow it with a full 48, so I think you'll be fine as long as you get your cals on your non veggie days :)

    I am not good at eating earlier in the day, for me, it is like if I wake the beast all bets are off for the rest of the day.

    With some of these meds I have been on, I have had to eat a small snack with them bc of serious nausea so I knw my OMAD hasn't been "true" for a while with the snack, but my cals have been super low bc I haven't had any appetite, I think I have been averaging around 800 a day.

    I agree if you get those cals on non veggie days you should be fine......

    You are right, no need in me taking on calories for the sake of calories. I can definitely get enough calories in on Fri, Sat, and Sunday to make up for the reduced calories the four days prior.

  • mistymeadows2005
    mistymeadows2005 Posts: 3,737 Member
    LMFAO yeah I can MORE than make up for it on my weekends :P AND THEN SOME (if I let myself LOL)

    Plus seeing those daily losses from the lower cal days is nice for the mind too :)

    Do you weigh daily Tracey? Don't kill me for not remembering LOL
  • LadyBlanks
    LadyBlanks Posts: 1,070 Member
    I do weigh daily. It is weird because after yesterday's meal I was up 0.8 this morning.

    I was 172.5 on Monday
    I was 169.0 on Tuesday following my water fast day
    I was 169.8 this morning
