Daily Post - Wednesday

Track: Mentally
Calories: Under
Exercise: Nope

Ok, so Monday and Tuesday were a disaster food-wise. The stress of prepping for the party led me to stress eat and I decided that I would just be really crabby at my son's party if I tried to fast or keep it keto so I gave myself free reign. So I probably ate enough calories over those two days to feed me for a week. Today I didn't track but I know my calories were under. I'm also rethinking this OMAD thing. Trying to participate in a weight loss challenge while doing experimental eating just puts too much pressure on me because instead of focusing on what might work for me (or not) in the long run, I'm too worried about gaining weight for weigh in day. So I might not participate in this challenge next month.

Oh, and thanks for all the responses about the messy houses. It feels good knowing I'm not alone. And maybe I should look into a cleaning app. If I can clean up my phone to make room for yet another app.

I understand your frustration in trying to find what works for you, I've been there. If it's the weight issue maybe try being on the cheer squad so you don't have that pressure with your weight next month. Regardless of what you decide WE ARE ALL ROOTING FOR YOUR SUCCESS!

Thursday.
Track: yes
Calories: over
Exercise: no

I was in meetings all day and then had lunch and dinner ordered and paid for by companies I was with during the business talks.

HOW do you stay under calories and not upset the apple cart of not eating what they ordered? We're not talking mini sandwiches; lunch was steak and baked potatoes and dinner was a fried seafood smorgasbord. 😔😔😔😔😔

Daily Post: Thursday November 14th

Track: No
Calories: I didn't track, but I know they were under.
Exercise: None...but between my job and cleaning all day I went over 13,000 steps.

I did OMAD today but other than a small portion of jalapeno Cheetos I kept it low carb. I just feel better when fasting or eating low carb. On Monday when my eating went all haywire....the meal at work was almost nothing but carbs so I ended up eating a smaller portion but came home to finish my meal so I could add protein but it ended up just snowballing into a two day binge. Yesterday's low carb OMAD went smoothly, but I ate at 5pm and at home in my preferred setting. So my plan is to do OMAD at home again. I don't know if we are allowed to take food home from work (I think they want us to eat it there because they want to encourage comradery) but I think I will start to take a container with me so I can take something I can eat at home later, until someone says otherwise.

I didn't work out this week....but my focus has been cleaning. I do feel weaker when I don't work out regularly but I also know that on days I workout, I just don't have the same time or energy to dedicate to cleaning. So for now I'm going to keep my focus on cleaning (I owe this to my poor family) and once things have reached a decent state, I will resume my workouts. I will still try to get a decent run in this weekend though. I hope it stays dry. I miss running in the woods but the mud makes it difficult.

*and about next month. Yes, joining the cheer squad is a good idea. I'll think about it. It might be the best way to go, especially for December which might prove to be a disaster with all the holiday family pressure. If I don't have the pressure of not letting the team down, I might actually do better.

Daily Post (Wednesday)

Track: Yes
Calories: Yes, fasting.
Exercise: 70 mins weight training, housework, walked about 6k steps literally around my house cleaning.

Comments: Well today is the day that I start cooking for my weekend thanksgiving celebration with my family. Made my pie crusts today, and I did this on purpose while fasting because I tend to eat the pie crust as I cook it...literally every time, there is just something about pie crust.... so got that out of the way, and finishing the pies today while I can taste the middle, and so far the pumpkin pie is great, about to go make my chocolate peanut butter pie and that is going to be hard not to eat it allll while cooking it but I can do it. And these are of course low carb and sugar free

Chocolate peanut butter pie sounds amazing!

Just had to share...
I've always been a kinda weak guy, or not weak, but average? Always done loads of running and biking, but never trained my upper body.
I always work out alone, with no one to be spotter, so I tend to do more reps of safety reasons. But today I tried, and successfully did 100kg in bench. Big round number!! I knew it was more than doable, since I did my normal sets at 90, and thus should be able to do one rep at 115, but it is a mental wall to put on three numbers with the potential of beeing stuck under it.

Kinda proud of myself today :-)

Well done 😁
