I'm 181 this morning... not the 179 I was hoping for, but that's okay. Slow loss is still loss. I did so much walking this weekend and kept my calories low. My eating windows were a little wider than usual (maybe 3 - 4 hours) due to a birthday party and outing. There was a bit of stress in there, which I think really…

I'll be geriatric if I ever have grandkids! I had my five-year-old when I was 39. Her four-year-old friend is with us today. In years past I would get stressed at home with the kids and over-snack. Not today! Besides, they're pretty mellow and independent now.

This morning I am 180, so 179 seems mildly possible for Monday. It's hilarious to see that this is where I was last year at this time, but I know I can maintain intermittent fasting this time. I have another little one with us all day today, so let's see how focused I can be! I think a field trip away from the apartment is…

Yay! Nice loss.

Hormones! I hope your 59 dance is brief.

I'm back down to 181. Eating at home helps. My eating window is a little early today so we can take a train for a play date. I've been looking forward to the beans and avocado. I find it hard to resist the coffee mocha near her friend's house, so I will save some calories and open my window an hour or so. I think a 2 hour…

I made chicken stock today, thanks to your inspiration. It's a nice beverage replacement and a great vehicle for sodium. Have a good night's rest!

Instant pot beans and rice with avocado. Not pictured: yogurt with chia seeds.

My instant pot is keeping busy: beans, stock and rice. My splurge Monday wasn't too exciting because I wasn't really hungry. Yesterday I had a four hour eating window. I feel better today and plan to omad. I found my calendar from two years ago where I had scribbled the daily weigh-ins and found that I was hovering at this…

You are on track! I like how you choose to sit with your feelings. May you find a peaceful resolution.

Cheering from the sidelines! I need to google "water fast." I assume it is a fast with just water?

Nice loss!

Halotop is delicious! It has a ton of protein, too. Enjoy your mini fast!

My cycle has been very sporadic this year, which I attribute some weight gain to. I did have one last week, which is why I anticipated a whoosh this week. Maybe that pattern no longer applies. I think I'll have a cheat day to see if it helps with the fatigue and develop a better plan. I'm a little angry that the stress was…

Plan for the day: cheat day. The pb keto cookies decided for me.

Something isn't right because I'm up two pounds this morning. Yesterday I felt extremely sluggish. I chose to have another (!) lunch out with my husband, which wasn't quite filling enough on its own, so I came home and ate two keto peanut butter cookies and one of my daughter's mini chia-blueberry muffins. Here are the…

Last week my husband was on a staycation and we were making tough decisions about our future (where to live, if our daughter should go to a certain school program, if I should go back to school, etc.). The stress levels along with the irregular eating schedule/content I think affected my loss. I'm pretty sure I need a…

My food choices were not the best this week, which is probably why the scale has not moved. I need to eat at home or plan my lunches better to be less carb-y. I think I also need to de-stress a bit this week.

I resisted the pizza, but I see leftovers in the fridge that I may "steal" for my omad today, along with cauliflower gratin and raw spinach. I think I need to get back to healthier choices during my meal, but this meal will suffice for the day. I think I will take it to my daughter's art class and eat before she gets out.…

Welcome! I just started, as well.

I had a stressful day. My lunch choice was dictated by where my husband wanted to eat and I wound up eating a not-so-satisfying lunch high in carbs. I also ate Lily's chocolate chips and had a milky, artificially sweetened coffee about an hour after my meal. Now my husband and daughter are eating pizza in the kitchen while…

I know it is hard to lose the same pounds twice, but it is part of the cycle. 7 pounds in four days is amazing!

My husband might also start OMAD, but he works night shift and I doubt that our meals will coincide. I might leave a meal in the fridge for when he comes home. HOWEVER, I find that choosing your OMAD is a very personal thing. He may want to decide what he eats.

Fortunately, CICO taught me to expect slow losses so I am prepared for the long game. You are still losing pretty quick! Nice work!

I'm going to save that description of pigs feet and tripe for when I feel hunger. It should stop it immediately. Ha! Enjoy your return to OMAD!

Your broth sounds delicious! I'm impressed by the duration of your fast.

I am back on track today except for the content of my meal. I took my daughter to a playdate in a remote part of town. Last time I was there I visited a taco stand and had my heart set on it today. I dropped off my LO, walked to the corner where it was only to discover it's gone! I was determined to eat something other…

Argh. I updated too soon. I had an emotional eating binge at around two hours after my meal. About 400 extra calories. My husband brought home a fragrant baguette and proceeded to eat it with various delicious toppings. I got frustrated about something small and I had a piece slathered in butter. Then another. And then...…

Pork chops sound delicious. I'd love to see a picture. Enjoy your evening!

Today's weight is 181. I'm surprised because it is a time of month that normally means more weight for me. Today we are watching another little one, which often means lots of snack food around. I'm pretty happy with my omad: beef soft tacos, cauliflower gratin, apple and carrots. I have a little caloric deficit so I may…
