OMAD today at 7pm or later depending on life.
This week has been a terrible week for dieting, it’s been the worst week since I started OMAD in march this year.
I put it down to a combination of genuine physical exhaustion from lack of sleep/coming off night shifts and stress, I’ve felt emotionally terrible all week.
Today i’m determined to get back on track. I will not let myself slip any further backwards.
9:49am and I am feeling immensely hungry, looks like I need to retrain my body. The first couple days will be the hardest
Edit: 3pm and I’ve not eaten yet. I was so tired I went to bed for 2 hours, exhaustion really is a real thing. I need to stop pushing my body so hard and rest more.
Day5 of Week24, IF, 18/6
SW: 104kg/229lbs; CW: 88kg/194lbs; GW: 85kg/187lbs
Today is 87,7kg down from 88,4kg of yesterday and from 89,0kg of the day before.
(that is an 0,6-0,7kg water sheding daily now that I’ve cut out the recent, excessive fruit eating.)
I suspect it’ll be a while before I get back to my lightest empty weight of 85.8kg, but it was a good learning experience about what not to do so close to the goal. :P
Well past the first 24h of the 48h fast, feeling just fine, had one coffee this far and half pitcher of the electrolyte juice I made.
I had to buy some household items today in a hypermarket, and I had no urge to buy any food, so I consider that a Non Scale Victory, especially past the middle of the 48h fasting where usually I’d be starting to plan what I’ll eat on reentry.
Morning workout had to be moved to the afternoon again, because I went to the store before sunrise to make sure I don’t have to deal with the afternoon crowds and waste time.
Other than timing, I feel like the return of workouts making a positive impact on my daily energy. I hope I can up the reps in a week or so reliably.
It is in fact FRIDAY! Just hold out a lil’ while longer and all of you will have a great weekend! ;)
Type: water, coffee, diet soda
Context: 38 hours in
Length: 48 hours
Why: I wanted to test the waters to see how hard it would be, as I might make this a weekly thing. I’d like to give my body a chance to run through glucose stores and maybe undergo autophagy.
SW: 317 CW: 305.8 GW: 180
I feel … okay? I had an incident last night right before bed where I got very tired and a bit dizzy. My blood sugar was normal (99) so it wasn’t hypoglycemia. Best I can figure is that the melatonin I took, which I hadn’t been taking for a few weeks, went straight to my head on an empty stomach.
On the subject of glucose levels, I’ve been surprised how consistently high they’ve been despite the fact that I’m not diabetic. They’ve ranged from 90 to 110 for the most part, with a spike to 123 right after exercising. Not sure if that means anything except that I might be more prediabetic than my doctor thought.
I’m definitely dehydrated, though I’ve tried to keep drinking. I’m down 3 pounds since yesterday, which is an impressive amount of water in a day (though given my estimated metabolic rate almost a pound of that could theoretically be fat).
This week-end, I will attempt one of hardest physical challenges I’ve ever been trough, and it’s all possible because of this year’s weight loss. I’m going to hike some of tallest mountains in my area (multiple peaks at 1km+ elevation).
Expect some progress pics with gorgeous mountain autumn backgrounds in the very near future, so long as bad weather doesn’t ruin it all :P
Day 2 of IF 16:8, unsure of end date.
I am doing IF to learn intuiative eating and get back with it for my healthy eating habits. I started walking for a month, and then added in the gym and went 5 days a week for a little over a month. Fired and replaced at my WFH job on top of a difficult and painful period knocked me out of the gym game but I will be getting back into that Monday! I also start a new job on the 24th and it is work from home and I can continue my walking on my under the desk treadmill.
I think I might need to restart my fast count tomorrow because I put a little sugar free creamer in my coffee this morning. I should of known better, I’ve done IF befor. BUT, my main goal first is to only eat during my eating window so I will not totally beat myself up for some coffee creamer. Yesterday I stayed within my calorie goal and I am feeling good! It’s hard since I am not working to not just grab whatever I want when I want. I am unhappy with my body and lack of restraint with foods, so I want to do better and be better!
Day 4 of fasting , I’ve been doing the 16 hr fast and it’s been good so far I think I’ve lost a kilo but I reckon it’s water weight haha , New goals for this week :
