Hi Sue, I quit my job too, though it was more to do with an incompetent colleague than Covid. This does make things extra hard as I really didn't want to resign after ten years working at the same school. I have been very down about that and have only just starting pulling myself together this past week, including starting Omad again in ernest.
I believe your meal time needs to suit you and if you are not having really late nights and can avoid the urge to snack through the evenings, go for it! Speaking of late nights, I have been prescribed corticosteroids and they play havoc with my insomnia. Haven eaten between 6-7 last night, I went to bed with my wife at 10. I lay there for a couple of hours before getting up to read as I was so alert and on edge from my 4th day on prednisone that I couldn't possibly sleep. I went back to bed at 2am and again, laid there for 2 hours before getting back up. Just as well i didn't have to go to work today, I ended up dozing off minutes before my wife's 6am alarm!
I'm not counting calories as such, but having done that a number of times in the past, I have a good idea of what constitutes a sensible, fairly large one meal a day. Last night I had roasted chicken drumsticks with steamed baby broccoli and sweet potato. Not a snack all through the miserable night alone so all good.
I have more weight to lose than you, but that being said, I am a 6'2" male. I have always been a big man but ten years ago was the first time I'd ever really felt "fat". I used to do powerlifting and strongman and just looked big and strong at 120kg (240pounds). I tore rib muscles in training one evening and during a long recovery, I kept eating (and enjoying beer) like I had for many years though I was no longer burning the fat and building muscle with my training. I swore when I lost weight early last year that I would never put it back on... here I am! I peaked this past Christmas at 153kg (335 pounds) and felt like any night was going to be my last.
Despite my 4 hrs of sleep and feeling a little crappy, I will again stick to the plan tonight. I will have a different protein and mix up the vegetables. I find there is no need to squeeze all the macro's into every meal, just mix the meals up. I do take vitamin C, magnesium, and a liver tonic that supports its function in eliminating waste during fat loss.
Anyway, I have rambled enough. The world is a mess at the moment, know that there are people who do care for their fellow humans, always happy for a chat on this forum. One day at at time Sue, take care, Alex from Down Under.
