Comments: Making the transition to OMAD this week. Nervous but excited. I'm trying to finish off all the open keto foods that I have. I anticipate an initial weight gain due to the water I'm sure to retain when my muscle glycogen stores are full, but hopefully my weight will trend back downward as my body responds to OMAD. Going to give this at least 3 weeks. I'm going to try anyways. Eating high carb might prove to be more difficult than I can handle but I won't know until I try. One big reason for deciding on OMAD is the free lunch at work. Due to a crooked person not returning my deposit on the room I booked in Manchester, and money not returned to our account after a canceled order, money has been tight and a lot of our food budget goes into my LC diet. Money issues stress me out so bad that I get really depressed and am likely to stress eat. If I can go 20 days a month where my food is free, that would really help, so I'm giving it a go. But maybe I'll start Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. This is scary!
Good luck0 -

Today’s been a rough day for me emotionally. We’ve officially put my dads house on the market. Now I know this shouldn’t be that big a deal because as my husband said I haven’t lived there in over 20 years but it’s still so incredibly emotional for me. It’s the house I grew up in. 😪5

Daily post Monday
Track: No
Carbs: on track
Exercise: Hell Yes!
Comments: "Easy" CrossFit class today. As always, CrossFit is the best part of my day! We'll see how I do tomorrow - I have to make up a killer leg workout tomorrow (CrossFit 20.4 for those in the know). Upon completion, my quads will be demolished! My post-workout goal is to be able to walk to my car without collapsing. ;-) I was on a high following this morning's weigh-in!
Motivation: I'm a "Funny T-shirt" guy - I have lots of fitness/CrossFit related t-shirts (it's my "thing"). Anyway, I have a T-Shirt depicting a guy on a pull-up bar. The caption is: Every calorie counts.

Hi everyone! I’m a 43 year old mother of a beautiful 7 year old and wife to a handsome supportive husband! I’ve struggled with my weight since high school and yo yo dieting on and off for years. We recently lost one of our best friends at the young age of 45 which has made both my husband and I want to eat and live healthier.
My goal this month is to get back in control. Track every day, eat more veggies, get daily exercise and lift weights on a regular basis.
Here’s to a great November!!3 -
@143tobe I do omad on the weekends and I did it for a few months, don't be too hard on yourself if it's hard at first.
And I'm still doing adf during the week. One thing that you may want to try, it helps, broth, I tend to drink a little broth on my fasting days and the savoryness fills my stomach and makes me feel better. Low calorie and not too expensive...worth trying to help you meet your goal...
Thanks for the tip. I think that will really help. I also discovered recently during my last fast that drinking pickle juice helps! I know alot of runners who drink pickle juice after a long run but I hadn't tried it because all the pickles I found here had added sugar. Well I decided to look in the international section at the grocery store and I discovered some Polish and Russian pickles that were perfect. So on my last fast I drank some pickle juice over ice, and it was just about the most satisfying feeling ever. So with both the broth and pickle juice, I think I'll have a fighting chance to get through the day.Username: 3athlt

Nice loss! Both recent and long term!Today’s been a rough day for me emotionally. We’ve officially put my dads house on the market.

Sorry, that must be so hard. I hope you have many happy memories to keep with you always.

Haha...I love your:"Exercise: Hell Yes!"
I went to a regular but overpriced gym for two years. I went regularly but did mostly classes. I did get set up for a weight training routine but found it so unmotivating to do it alone so it didn't last long. With cross fit you work out as a group, right? I would love to start to do some "real" lifting but I need serious guidance and think I could benefit from the group setting. Do they teach you how to do everything from the start? Wait...do they yell?

This is so awesome! And your such a good mom! My older son is following in my footsteps and is overweight. I was taking him walking, jogging for a while but we stopped. I really need to start being active with him again. You are so right, even if I have to adjust my personal schedule, I need to start making his needs a priority too. This also includes getting back to tracking his diet intake. --- Oh, and Halloween candy is evil

Went for my first run in ages yesterday. Used to run quite a bit, but probably 20 months since last time.
Painfully hard, and biting cold outside, but actually fun and felt good.
I had my daughter at gymnastics, so had an hour there I could use. I will have her there every second monday, so will try to continue the good trend...
Now I'm just waiting for the gym at work to clear (two people there already, and I don't want to wait in line)4 -

@vicky2767 Sorry to hear that, hang in there. My parents just sold the house I grew up in last year. They still hold memories, but those are your memories and selling the house won't change that.2
