Comments: First day of OMAD. I was going to wait until Monday but today's fasting went better than expected so I decided to skip lunch and have dinner with my husband. We had chicken tacos. I only had one shell though, mostly just a lot of the filling (low carb is hard to let go!). I ate way too much. I never get full because I'm always trying to divide my calories throughout the day. Well, I ate so much that I couldn't even stand up straight. On one side, it was nice actually feeling full for a change...but...ouch. After I let my food settle I polished off my meal with two low carb chocolate chip cookies. Total calories 1400. I'm afraid to step on the scale tomorrow because today is the last day of my cycle and it usually takes about 3 or 4 more days for the water weight to go down. It sucks being a woman when you are in a challenge like this and the challenge does not care if you are retaining water on weigh in day.

💬Comments: Today I’ve been absolutely exhausted. My sleep is always interrupted due to my little boy and my day started at 5.30am when he woke up for the day 😴 I was doing great and for dinner I had scrambled eggs with courgettes, mushrooms, red pepper, mixed veg, baby spinach and a little grated cheese on top. It was delicious 🤤 THEN I let my emotions rule my eating and had some chocolate and crisps. I’m really disappointed in myself. This morning I found a 10 minute HIIT workout on YouTube that I tried out. I’ve never done HIIT before and I really enjoyed it. I was breathless and sweating, but i felt great. I’m going to do it again before bed and it’s something I’m going to try and do at least every other day.2 -

Exercise/Comments: Walked over a mile around my workplace, as well as lifting, moving, and shelving books. (I work in a library.) I seem to have a little more energy going up the stairs at my apartment, so that’s a start. Still need to get better about my water intake though.1 -

I'll take it! Yesterday my weight was 138.8 due to water retention, so I'll take it! I'm actually very surprised that my body dropped most of the water so quickly. Especially since my 1400 calorie dinner was only 3 hours before I went to bed last night.2

**Need to increase my cardio and steps. I had dinner out at a Mexican restaurant, chicken salad trying to stay within my calories for the day, I should have left the dressing alone but I think I did pretty good. I had a glass of wine with frozen pineapple chunks later in the evening and that added to my calorie count.0 -

💬Comments: Today my mum asked if I could go to McDonalds to pick her up something to eat as she was too tired to cook. I’ll admit I bought myself a cheeseburger happy meal with a Diet Coke 😬 Afterwards, I was shocked to discover I had consumed just over 500 calories, and there was me thinking I was doing something good by opting for a little kids happy meal 🙈 Lesson learned! I was 56 calories over today, then my exercise brought that down a bit. I’m glad I managed to get a short walk in, and also 15 minutes on the exercise bike.
Wow see what happens when become food concious I'll bet you wouldn't have been half concern before with the calories before you started your journey to a healthier you.2 -

Comments: So I have not started OMAD this week because I got my cycle and well, that is the worst time to make any drastic changes. Would be a set up for failure. I did do IF and eat lunch at work however, and even though I chose low carb options, I know they sneak carbs in everything because I can feel it. My body feels tingly and oddly satisfied after these meals and then I go into a slump/coma. This week, I don't know why, even with TOM I don't normally get hit this hard, but I have been really lethargic, physically so tired, drowsy, sleepy in the afternoons. My sleep was not the best but I did get between 7-9 hours in every night (including waking up several times for different reasons). Yesterday I decided to work out even though I wasn't feeling up to it. I started to do a 30 minute step video but could not even keep up with the 5 minute warm up so I turned it off and walked my dog instead. I could barely walk. It was awful. I took a bath with arnica salts before work because my job is physical and I hoped it would help. I ate lunch there, came home, and again felt super sleepy. I remembered that I have one of those light therapy boxes for overcoming winter blues so although they recommend to only use it in morning hours, I decided it was worth the risk. I did it for 10 minutes and it worked! I felt revived and was able to get some housework done without feeling terrible and I even had energy! I felt so good in fact, that at 6pm when I was praying for bedtime to come the other day, I decided to go clothes shopping for the work clothes I need for Saturday. When it came bedtime I was worried that I wouldn't be able to fall asleep but I took a melatonin and it helped. I was in bed and asleep by 10. Oh...and I'm also doing the other Biggest Loser Challenge and they have a weekly challenge called, "take 5" where you throw in 5 or 10 minutes of random movement in your day. I decided to do 5 or 10 jumping jacks every 20 or 30 minutes to help me stay awake and to keep me warm (I get cold just looking outside at all the gray) and to get my blood moving.
NSV: This might not seem like a "Victory" but I needed to buy a white bra to go with my white work shirt for Saturday. The bra I tried on...that FIT...was an A cup. Before I gained all my weight I was between a B and a C cup. When I gained all my weight I was a sloppy D. Now I'm a floppy A. I'm happy because I'm done with having babies and breastfeeding and at this point, I really just don't need them anymore.
Lol love your activeness, you always inspire me when I read your posts with different ways of getting your movement in. Kudos on finding positive ways to get your energy up while still able to get your 6-7hrs of sleep which is important on this journey. Also congrats on the NSV I can't wait to read your next post.1 -

Exercise: Walked a mile around my workplace today. Had a rough day at the end, my mood plummeted, but I contribute a lot of that to driving over 370 miles yesterday, most of it on back roads thanks to interstate construction.
Hope your mood is better but congrats on getting your mile in0 -

Comments: Been really sore this week with my new Weightlifting program, coach is trying to kill me I think, so I managed to get in about 20 mins of cardio at the gym before the soreness got to me so I cut that short. Well I guess the universe spoke to me because my neighbor asked me if I wanted to walk with her after work so I walked for an hour anyway. Guess I was meant to do it after all.
Lol I guess no short cuts for you even if you tried. But kudos for your success on your journey to healthier you. You're my inspiration.0 -
Question of the Week:
With the holidays approaching, what is your plan to stay on track?
. . .I am going to have a particularly challenging time this time around,
Also on a side note, if your plan is simply to enjoy yourself, that's fine too, one day isn't going to kill you! (well for me, it might, but I'm also weird so...lol)
Well unfortunately (and this is depressing but a good thing depends on how you look at) I'll be spending my time in a rehabilitation Center trying to get stronger for my move to Charlotte in December. I was supposed to be in Charlotte by Thanksgiving but once again my body betrayed me and wondered up in the hospital. (It almost makes me give up on making an healthier me that way my body keeps shutting down but I know there's a light at the end of the tunnel)1 -
[/quote]Question of the week:
With the holidays approaching, what is your plan to stay on track?
I am going to do my best to stay on track with my meal plan. If I have not cheated at all during this time then I will use Thanksgiving as my cheat meal day. I don't use cheat meals but as part of my eating plan but if I stay on goal then I will treat myself to small portions of course.
Excellent plan.0 -
I haven’t really stuck to much of anything these past few months. And boy does the scale show it. But I’m going to give myself a break. I’m just going to keep trying to get where I know I can be. Ive been exercising consistently now if I can get my eating back on track consistently I’ll be ok.
That's right stay positive and just keep making small changes.0 -
