I'm trying to average between 1200 and 1400 per day for the week. Some days I'll go over a little, and some days I'll be under a bit. I try not to force myself to eat if I'm not hungry enough for me, but I'll be away that I have more wiggle room the following day. I've discovered if I don't track, I wind up eating way more or way under than what I'm thinking. I'm not super strict with weighing right now, but I will when/if I hit a plateau. I think I set my diary to public if anyone wants to take a look! I'm not my best with my macros, but I try. I log my vitamins in my breakfast slot, though I do take them with dinner. Just easier to keep track of.

I'm also interested in hearing about your caloric goals. I feel like there might be a day when I'll have to start counting calories (although I really don't want to). Do you feel like there's a greater likelihood of success with OMAD when paired with calorie counting, or is it something you like to do moreso to track specific nutrients? Just curious!

It is still a calorie thing even with OMAD. I do think fasting provides a metabolic advantage but that can easily be overcome if we eat too much. I think strategies like filling up on stuff like salads, veggies, etc is still a good strategy and save the high cal stuff for last when your already a bit full so not as much is consumed. Good luck!

Exactly.

Had a girls night dinner last night. We made angel hair pasta (fresh!) with an olive oil, lemon, Parmesan sauce, with pan fried chicken strips and oven roasted cherry tomatoes. They also brought cheese and I am a sucker for cheese. Ate probably more than I should have, but don't regret it at all. Hit my 10k steps and then some last night, so I figure it balances out.
Got on the scale this morning and it was 170.0! I'm so close to being out of the obese BMI for my height. I know BMIs are inaccurate, but that will still be really nice to put that behind me. That also makes it a total of 13 pounds lost so far.

Sorry for the radio silence, guys. We got hit pretty hard with that nor'easter. Our power was out for two days and the internet/tv for 4. But everything is back and operational! Which brought me right in to a crazy weekend of teaching high school kids how to do theater makeup, and then working on a web series on Sunday. Both really awesome, and super time consuming.
This week wasn't the best for me eating wise. Being stuck in the house with no power and nothing but chips and cheese puffs to eat kind of shot Wednesday. Thursday we had dinner with my parents because we still didn't have power. Friday I took my mom to the flower show. Lots of walking, a hot dog and ice cream for dinner.
I'm buckling back down again this week. The scale read 169.6 this morning. Which is actually a little up from the 168.8 I saw on Saturday. But I also head steak last night and that always seems to take my body longer to digest.
I'll catch up with you all soon. Have a great week.
