OMAD (One Meal A Day)
Eating window 6:00pm-8:00pm

This Monday, I am restarting my 5 day a week fast.

I had planned to restart fasting only when my weight got up to 180lbs, but, no matter what my weight is on Monday, I plan to fast 5 days a week (my normal fasting schedule), until I am back down to 160lbs.

Here is why... I have to stop eating so much! Seriously, as I was munching on my Jack in the Box Ultimate Cheeseburger (to 'carb up' for energy for my weight lifting that evening), I thought to myself: "There is no reason I need to eat this much food... ever."

I consumed over 2300 calories yesterday, yes, I lost weight because my workout was 'intense' (see below), but consuming large amounts of food, for me, is emotionally, and more importantly, SPIRITUALLY, damaging.

The reason I feel it is Spiritually damaging, is that when I consume more food than I need to, my body and mind want more, More, MORE! There is always room for 'one more carb'. People who are able to 'control' their eating can control their eating. But, those that have PROVEN that they cannot control their eating (like myself), must accept this and work within their limitations. For me, fasting works.

You don't 'control' your eating when fasting, you simply 'surrender' and 'accept' that you will not eat for the designated period.

Anyway, On a lighter note, @PrincessValerie went with me to the gym 🏋️‍♀️🏋🏾‍♂️for the first time yesterday 😍. We had a nice half hour walk to the gym. I was able to get in 3 sets of: Bench Press - 85lbs (10 reps), Deadlift – 105lbs (6 reps), Squat - 105lbs (10 reps), Pullups - (10 reps), Shrug - 105lbs (10 reps) in 45 minutes.

She got herself familiar with the weight machines (Weights-Yay!).

When we got home I then did: 3 sets of: Bicep Curl - 40lbs (10 reps), Pushups - (10 reps), Crunch - (33 reps).

The only thing that was sacrified was sitting in front of the TV 📺.
174.0 lb Lost so far: 33.0 lb.    Still to go: 10.0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

a nice big fatty ribeye and that recipe I sent you loaded with a ton of sour cream should do it in just one meal! LOL! I used to eat 3 plates full at one sitting of the noodles potato and sour cream dish in my teens.

@ baskington You, have already set your limitations.. they limitations are based on self image you have codified , over the years.. but, my experience as a teacher of 10's of thousands... tells me.. you have no idea of your own potential.. Tough love... maybe... but..I do know.. Some of those I have taught have said , basically the same thing as you.. and you should see them now... Several of my students are now in country... and off the books... One , I trained since he was 6... he was a very small kid and everyone around him..told him so... This , thus codified that image, of himself.. in his own soul.. and until he met me...he was fulfilling that prophesy.. but, it was a lie..a lie..based on others perceptions of him.. He is now a special operations specialist for the US Navy...in Pakistan... You have no idea what you are capable of... because you always relied on what other told you..and thus reached their expectations.. Read my profile... every last word is true... and that is my first lesson... always, always be true... I don't know your age, demographics, politics or motivation... but this I know... I can make a warrior of anyone... and I can offer references I know many of the best in the world, many I have fought in competition... I have had amazing teachers...again look at my profile and google them... I keep a low profile... because huberous and money has never been my motivation.. As far as weight lifting... my now deceased wife... was a good friend of Arnold , in Venice Beach.. She was 16 at the time and an emancipated minor... she was gorgeous... and he looked after her to make sure no one took advantage of that.. Me, yea... I can make anyone the best they can be... and have already written a guide to it/..It is aimed at guys over 50... but applies to anyone..It's called.. "The Old Fat Bastard's Guide to Recovering Heath, Strength and Vitality"

I used to eat a full dinner place full of baked potatoes with a stick of butter, 2 cups of sour cream, 8 oz cheese and a pound of BB pulled pork - with a huge sweet tea and other assorted munchies like chips and candy - that much food was my norm since I was a late teen - it is amazing that I was 'normal' sized until I hit my mid-50's and never in my life got over 198 pounds - and I am a 5'4" female - it is just the last 7 years that my weight slowly crept up but it got to where it is now due mostly to my sedentary lifestyle for the past 4 years from health problems unrelated to weight - hardly moving at all - no wonder the weight came on. Feels great to finally feel a little better and I am now trying to get back to 'normal' - I hate that term - what is normal anyway? And who gets to decide that?
