Food Log,
Swiss Chalet chicken
Kale Caesar salad
coleslaw
3 perogies
ice cream
We went out to swiss chalet tonight for supper and I got chicken and salad then we went to the park for a walk and had ice cream afterwards. It was a good evening and a fun time. exercise is easier with more people then yourself because it is not as boring.
I was given some work swag today in form of a think outside the box t-shirt. However like most promotional items it did not come in my size and the largest was 2x. I am currently in between a 4x and a 5x. I decided to use the tshirt as a motivational tool and a progress measure. My "fit inside the box" initiative. I took pictures of me in this 2x shirt from the front and the side and my goal is to keep taking pictures once a month until the shirt is big on me instead of tight. So I will be gradually fitting inside the box that is printed on the front of the t-shirt.
It gives me another measure for progress besides weight. speaking of weight it is weigh day tomorrow and my hope is to stay around the same give or take a pound after my holiday weekend debacle.

I agree, when we look at this as a preferred lifestyle, but knowing that not every day will go as planned, then it seems to take that pressure off, and feeling that we failed.
To, me I see this as not much different from other things I do, that sometimes turn out the way I want, and sometimes don’t. But, it just becomes yesterday, and I try to do better tomorrow.

Journal entry #12 Days 19 - 22 July 6-9 2019
Starting Weight: 463.7 (April 27, 2019)
Starting Weight for OMAD: 460.7 (June 18, 2019 )
Current Weight: 444.1pounds (June 29, 2019)
Last Weekly Loss: 4.9 Pounds
Total Loss: 19.6 Pounds
Had a good loss this week, I know there is more to it than the weight but it does make you feel good to finally see numbers drop on a semi regular basis after so long of hovering around the same weight or gaining. My weekends I find it hard to do OMAD due to be on the go most of the day with family and just having my regulkar work schedule throw into disarray. during these days I am not really tracking and just to my best not to over eat and keep it within a 12-16 hour fasting window.
Though it is only 20 pounds gone in a few months I am starting to feel a little lighter and have a little more pep not sure if this is due to less weight on me or just a better feeling of confidence and new found resolve.
back to the work week and back to omad for the next 5 days.

Not everyone does OMAD every single day, especially when they have things happening with their family, or other activities that make OMAD difficult on weekends, or other specific times.
I have seen people say that they do OMAD during the week, and then on the weekend they do 16:8, or something similar, so that it fits in with their schedule better.
I have done this sometimes, and I think that as long as we are being as close as we can to the OMAD lifestyle, then we are still helping ourself , and not hurting ourself.
If it is a planned change, then it is not the same thing as “falling off the wagon” which is a totally unplanned binge-eating, which means a total loss of control over our eating.
