Today, before I went on a long walk I noticed after weighing myself and seeing the results that I had made a good amount of progress. But it wasn't until later in the night that I fell into my habits again, which you can read about in my previous posts. I had a few drinks and had a little bit too much to eat.
I may consider weighing myself once or twice a week rather than every single day, just to reduce the stress. I know I mentioned in my previous post from yesterday that I would try walking for 3 hours per day but today I just wasn't feeling it at all and I only walked maybe just over 2 hours to the store and back and that's it.
I have enough food to last myself until pay day so I may walk further tomorrow or for the next few days, we'll see. As long as I am able to follow this routine that I have been doing lately on a daily basis I should be able to reach my goal of 170 pounds by either the end of this year or maybe in the new year or first quarter of 2027.
If there is any chance that my plans will be delayed in the future, it will not matter at all to me and I will deal with it. If that means I have to move some where else or anything like that. To me, life is worth everything it offers to me, and nothing is going to stop me from getting what I want.
Or if something does stop me, I guess I tried right?. I admit tomorrow's results are not going to be where I want them to be. I think today I definitely screwed up badly and I will learn from my mistakes the next day. Maybe it's just my food cravings lingering still that is what made me eat much more than expected tonight.
The better approach for my own diet going forward, ideally would be to not weigh myself every single day but only once or twice a week and to keep following the one or two meal a day diet while fasting still, and I think that would be a much less stressful approach to this routine for myself.
I have mentioned in other, previous posts in this blog that I have been following this routine of 1-2 meals per day during times when I was busy with other things in life and I still managed to lose weight and it didn't really feel like I was even trying. I was shocked to see myself go from 290 to around 270ish pounds from late December 2025 until the first two weeks of January.
Weight loss is definitely something that is so gradual that it is hard to think about. I know there are much more quick ways to lose weight like "water fasting" but you really need to be supervised by a medical professional in order to follow those kinds of diets and it could be very risky if you don't know what you're doing. OMAD (the diet I am following) is probably one of the most safe methods of intermittent fasting.
I did read some where about the 12-hour fast which is currently considered the safest method of fasting according to an internet search but I have never heard of it and if you want to try it make sure you talk to your family doctor first. Make sure you talk to your doctor before you do anything. Anyways, I can't think of anything else to mention so I hope I did not discourage my readers here to give up when you fall off the horse, and you should definitely get back up on it if you reach a setback like this one I had today.
Update:
I thought about this tonight and thought I’d mention something about it in this post. If I were to check my weight once a week instead of once per day I think I would get carried away with eating too much and I may not be able to control myself as much.
It’s probably a better idea that I weigh myself once a day just to make sure I am able to control my cravings better. One option in the future if this doesn’t work is weighing myself every second day or every third day but for now this will work for my lifestyle. I guess that’s all I was going to share. Ciao.
