Thank you SO much for that response, Steph!
I decided to skip the meal today. Really not hungry at all. If I do need to eat, I will tonight, but I hope that doesn't happen. I am honestly mostly concerned with tomorrow. I know I can make it through tonight easily, but I am scared that I will be starving in the morning and then forcing myself to wait all day (doesn't work well when you need to focus on schoolwork). I am trying to stick with the 5 PM time since it works perfectly with my schedule. We'll see how it goes!

Weight: 154.4 | 1.6 lbs until second mini milestone (2/12 of the way to goal)!
No OMAD - just a water fast today.
Looking forward to Microscope March!

I'm happy I listened to my body as you all suggested. I'm still not all that hungry, but I can tell that I will be by the time my mealtime comes. I feel very much empowered when I listen to my body, and I woke up feeling that way. I also slept like a baby last night when I haven't been for the past few weeks, so I wonder if it was at all related. In any case, thank you, thank you, thank you! I feel much better, and the bump-up I had on the scale and more is gone today! Excited for Microscope March!

I'm happy I decided to eat. I wasn't super hungry, but this was very filling and made me feel good after eating it.

Thanks, ladies. The loss was short-lived, and I was up a pound yesterday. I definitely let that affect my mood and my eating yesterday, bu I have to say that working out and having a short eating window definitely minimized the damage I could do. I'm moving to weekly weigh-ins because I want to keep the exercise in (this always happens to me whenever I start!), and the fluctuations really affect me. I think I will be doing Monday weigh-ins from now on.

Update: Super packed weekend, so this is my first time on the community side. I have pretty much abandoned keto as I always seem to do when I start exercising. Fat adaptation takes a very long time, and my partner and I decided to train for a 5K this May, so I really don't have that time at all. I have also been eating meat (no beef) because it's been much easier to get my protein in quickly without having to track anything. I will revisit my keto ovo veg goals this summer with hopes that I will be fully adapted by the time I run another 5K next April.
I have, however, stuck completely to OMAD, which has been awesome. I do still want the benefits of carb reduction, especially when it comes to reducing sugar, so I have decided to only allow treats on my weekend OMADs, and those treats will still be low carb/sugar-free unless I go out to eat. During the week, I am going to focus on eating relatively low carb and sugar-free. Date night on Wednesday is now caput since we're both super busy, so we've decided to just do weekends together from now on. This will definitely make staying sugar-free during the week even easier.
These past few days have been very unusual in that I have eaten out everyday, so I am pretty sure that along with weight training, "playing" basketball this weekend (read: throwing up airballs and defending way too aggressively while trying to avoid breaking my nails), and incline walking this morning have me retaining water like a mofo. This is fine because the exercise has been a very nice stress relief and my mood has improved dramatically. This is more important to me than my scale weight right now, though I still want to meet my March goal somehow. I won't be eating out nearly as much for the rest of the month, so I know I will save myself quite a bit of sodium and hidden sugar right there. We'll see!

I made a new goal of getting out of the 150s. I think 4-5 pounds each month will be my goal from now on since I am not following keto and will be working out.
