Week 7 – 181.5 still down 18.5 pounds. It’s been awhile since I posted but I wanted to update. I’m still loving OMAD, I’d rather OMAD than eat during the day. We took that long driving trip to Washington DC, which was fun, but wasn’t OMAD friendly. On the day I left I weighed 181.5 and 8 days later I was 189! I didn’t gain 7.5 pounds of fat, I was down to 184 pretty quickly, but it took a full 2 weeks to get back to my pre-trip starting weight. This was hindered by all the Easter meals too. I was miserable that weekend. But I’m back on track and really prefer this way of eating. Besides the weight loss, there are other NSVs (non-scale victories) as well. I have more energy and better focus at work and I completed a 5k in a 9:55 per mile pace. Not bad for 60.
The next 2 weeks will be interesting. My wife will be gone out of town to help her mom through surgery and will be away. While she’s gone my plan is to attempt my first 3 day fast. What’s so great is to break a fast you just gotta eat, so it’ll work or not. I’ve read 3 day fast are great for autophagy and the immune system, so there’s that! I think I’ve lost the brand newbie status now!
