Happy Day, my Fabulous Followers:

So, the OMAD experiment was a big fail for me! Apparently my body is quite efficient and decided to hold on to every last freaking thing I was eating. Lowered calories and longer IF ???

I gained two pounds! So back to 16:8 or 18:6 depending on the day, and spreading the calories out. I bumped up the protein and have found in the past I gained from too much protein at times...weird, right?

It feels like a CF this week - thank goodness the weight lifting is good. Went as heavy as the men in my group today! They freak when they see this chubby 62 year old woman pick up the 40lb dumbbells! BaWaHaHa!

* Drink at least 12 - 16 cups of fresh water daily - especially on gym days

You are made of sturdy, strong stuff!

It takes gumption to try and courage to admit something just doesn't work. You gave it your best shot...and knowing you, you are already back to the drawing board. Way to go at the gym!!!!

Finding out what works is what we do here. 💁🏻 I'm having to cut back to 12/12 or so. I'm curious? Have you done any reading about mineral supplements? 🤷🏻‍♀️Magnesium specifically? I'm on so many meds that leech it out of my body that I wasn't warned about...🤦🏻‍♀️

@smprowett: I have been taking additional magnesium for years - it reduces muscle cramping at night and seems to help me sleep better. I also take extra vitamin D and calcium daily.
