OMAD? (One Meal A Day)
Blood sugar 99 mg/dL

Yesterday the planned date night to the Cheesecake Factory (because we had $50 in gift certificates) got changed and we went to another restaurant called the "Yard House" instead. I had an excellent Ribeye steak and broccoli. 'Carbwise' I was still under 100 carbs, but, calorie-wise I was over 2500. The only reason why I think I only gained 1 pound is that I spent 4 hours cleaning out my parents garage and lifting a LOT of heavy stuff :)

I'm posting a picture of my body fat percentage according to my scale. Do I think it is correct? Of course not. These scales are notoriously off (results were off by up to 21 percent), however, 20% of 10 is still only 2 so 12% body fat is still low.

This brings me to my real point: "Why am I trying to lose any weight at all?". Do I really want to have a 5 percent body fat? I'm a 50 year old computer programmer, what am I really trying to do here? :)

All I really care about is lifting heavy weights and watching my body slowly turn into the manly body I always wanted. However, MORE IMPORTANTLY I don't EVER want to get fat again. This is why I try to keep my 'scale weight' in the 160s. This has proved to be challenging...

Gonna try to eat One Meal A Day today (more steak!) and hit the weights and also do a run. On Monday I start my usual 5 day 'no solid food' fast.

😎 Life is Good! Have a great day everyone!

I love your plan ADWS, fat loss while maintaining strength is the key, our best weight might not be our lowest weight but for sure we need to avoid the "danger weight zone"...the zone that if left unchecked gets us moving in the wrong direction. Nice job and thanks for sharing!!
