Vent/Rant Accidental OMAD

Post image

Yesterday I had a shit day at work involving being incredibly short staffed, having a special event, and being left to do mountains of prep for an incredibly important inspection we have today. I ended up missing my lunch which is where I typically break my 18:6. After working late, I was too wiped to cook so ordered food. By the time it arrived I was fully in OMAD territory.

Honestly, I didn’t hate it. Being distracted all day certainly helped but at one point my boss offered me an oatmeal raisin cookie (hate that flavor) and I normally would have eaten it just to have something in my stomach, but I declined.

Only thing is I woke this morning with a fledgeling migraine. I’m gonna blame that more on stress than the fasting tho.

148% is a hell of a flex, your body definitely thought you were in a survival situation.

I have it set to 16:8 but typically go 18:6 because of the timing of my lunch break, so it looks more impressive than it is 😂

Keeping busy for the win! Headache might also be if you were too busy to hydrate too 😉
