Tracey's OMAD Reboot
Replies
-
Didn't quite hit the 160's today but came reeeeally close with a weigh in of 170.1 pounds.
Today is my net zero calorie day and I have been burning some calories today. So far according to my trackers, I have burned 508 calories through exercise. I did a 30 minute peleton bike workout this morning and have been taking a walking break every hour since I have been at work today.
I have a new non-bluetooth pedometer that I can wear at work to track my walks. So I have more motivation to get my steps in. I am 5,858 steps into my 10,000 at work steps goal.
Happy Friday Everyone!!!0 -
Nice loss and I'm sure you'll have another one tomorrow
Like you said, OMAD for the win!!! 0 -
I figured out today that the research I did on the accuracy of the calorie count of fitbit trackers was spot on. The calorie count of my new pedometer was exactly 40% below the calorie count of my fitbit tracker on the same route. So I am going to go with the calorie counts of my pedometer and reduce the calorie counts of my fitbit by 40%.
That means I can actually eat the 530 calories I burned from walking at work today. This is not including the 220 calories I burned on the bike this morning.
Unfortunately (I think) the only exercise that fitbit sends over to MFP are the exercises that the Fitbit actually records itself so none of the walks I inputted into fitbit myself were imported over and my peleton workout which was shared from the bike itself to fitbit was not sent over either.
The only exercise calories MFP is giving me from fitbit are the daily overage calories. Right now as far as MFP is concerned, I only earned 225 calories. I hope this increases as it gets closer to my eating window.
I think I am going to eat up to 500 calories regardless because I know I burned at least that much.0 -
This is my spreadsheet I used to track my walks at work. I aim to get some steps in each hour so I can meet my hourly goals on Fitbit. I was thinking I may reduce the number of walks because I can get 10,000 steps. Walking the .95 mile walk to and from my car which would be 4,660 steps and do the other two 20 minute walks which is another 4559 steps which is 9,219 steps. I can make up the remaining through bathroom trips and other work related walking.
That would equate to ~1 mile coming in and going out
~ 1 mile walks at 9:30 and 2:30
I may add one of the half mile walks at noon.
I still have my walk to my car which is another 115 calories0 -
Noice! And you're doing great.0

Still haven’t eaten yet, but MFP has allotted me 690 calories from exercise so I am going to go with that.0

Tonight’s meal: 944 calories
8 salt & vinegar wings from Walmart
Nut bar
Chocolate kale shake
This still is below my calories burned so I am still net zero calorie compliant1 -
That chart is fantastic and you are doing amazing with your calorie counting 0

Brenda was right, had another loss today and broke back into the 160s with a weigh-in of 169.6. I just made it in but I don't plan to be in the 160s for long. 150s here I come. Still looking to reach 145 pounds by 25 May.
I love my new plan. It fits my life perfectly and is working. Woot Woot!
Happy Saturday everyone.2 -

You are doing awesome with your new plan. and your monthly fast will really get you down!!! Proud of you!!0

Unfortunately I do not have a weight for today. I got on the scale, but didn't look at the weight thinking my Aria would send my weight to my fitbit but it didn't. So I have no fasting start weight. Booooo!0

You're doing great and that food looks so good!0

Keep up the good work ❤️👍0

I finally got my scale fixed and I will be able to weigh in in the morning. We got a new router for the wifi, and my aria scale was just not feeling it. It took me two days and I just finally got it connected. I am a little nervous about my weigh-in because I kind of overdid it on Sunday and I am thinking Monday's weight was most likely up in the 170s. I hope after 2 days of fasting, it will be at a decent number. I am going to work really hard this month not to gain my fasted loss. I've said it before and the weight always comes back, but this time I am committing to keeping things in check so I can solidify my loss. I need to get a new weight set point because I am definitely tired of the 170s and it seems like my body works overtime to get back to the 170s.0

The below post was taken from the Low Carb group. I found it enlightening and thought I would share with my favorite group - The OMADers. We will succeed one meal at a time.baconslave wrote: »We've finished the first month of a new year. How are we doing? Are we still firmly on the road to good health. Or did the road get bumpy on us, and we slide off.
I found this email in my inbox this morning from BodyFit by Amy (good YouTube workouts btw and FREE) that seemed pretty darn applicable.
THE "ON TRACK" TRAP
We are officially ONE month into the new decade! How is the new year treating you so far? How are those goals, resolutions, or intentions coming along? Are you "on track" or have you "fallen off the wagon"?
As a nutritionist, I hear my clients use these phrases multiple times per day to describe their health and fitness journey. In fact, I have often referred to my own health journey this way. But, while these phrases seem innocent, they could be problematic since they closely resemble all-or-nothing thinking. Read on to find out more.
A REAL MESSAGE FROM A REAL CLIENT
"First day of the week and already off to a bad start. I was doing so well. I worked out at 6 am and ate my veggie and quinoa stir-fry for lunch, but then my boss brought cupcakes from a local bakery for my co-worker's birthday. These cupcakes are my absolute favorite, and while I tried so hard to stay "on-track," I caved and had one. I felt so guilty and angry that I completely fell off the wagon on the first day of the week. I was so disappointed in how I ruined my day that I just picked up fast food on the way home because honestly - what's the point? I'll get back on the wagon tomorrow. "
THE ALL-OR-NOTHING CYCLE
Now, there's nothing wrong with the idea of wanting to get back to your routine after making some unhealthful choices. But, in the example above, one decision (and a negative mindset) led to a complete derailment of the train. I had ONE cupcake; therefore, the entire day is ruined, and there's no point in doing anything healthy now. This is classic black and white thinking and a common reason why we do not reach our health and wellness goals. If this person had the cupcake to celebrate the special occasion, enjoyed it, and went home to have the dinner they prepped, they could have reached their goals. But instead, anytime something got in the way of being 100% perfect, this person gave up for the day and chose to start again the next one. By the time Wednesday would hit, the whole week was "ruined," so the plan was to begin next week, and next week, and next week, and next year. You get the idea.
THINK OF CHOICES RATHER THAN DAYS OR WEEKS
It can be helpful to think of each CHOICE as separate entities, rather than each DAY or WEEK. Eating one cupcake in the afternoon has no effect on the quality of your supper/dinner. Missing one workout doesn’t change the plans for the next one.
EMBRACE THE IMPERFECTIONS
Look, some days, you will have every intention to workout for 45 minutes, or cook the healthy dinner that you planned for. But, life happened, and now you are tired, your kids are sick, and you have some work to finish up at night. Turns out, you don't have 45 minutes to work out or cook after all - and even if you could make the time, you are way too tired anyway. Instead, you rather go for a quick walk. Or do nothing. It's okay! Embrace it. Roll with it. This is normal. Walking 10 minutes or skipping ONE workout does not make you a failure. You are still on track, but the track got bumpy, and the weather got bad, so you had to make some adjustments. The weather will clear up, and the bumps will end. The choice to skip this one workout doesn’t mean that the whole day or week are ruined!
BE NICE
We are all bound to slip! No one is perfect, but how we respond to those slip-ups can make all the difference. Let’s say you've had some bad days (or weeks), and you've been allowing yourself one too many treats, and you've skipped several workouts. What now? Be nice. It’s essential to be kind to yourself, especially when you make choices you aren’t proud of. Forgive yourself - focusing on your failures won’t help you propel forward!
Hope that helped someone. It's so true. We make myriad decisions. Success is stringing along enough good decisions consistently until we make it there. We only fail if we stop learning lessons from the mistakes and give up.
So if your January got rough or wasn't perfect, who cares? You're still here. Dust yourself off, figure out what went wrong and formulate a hack for it, then get right back on that wagon. You have this. Really!
No guilt, but no excuses.
