Yesterday I had leftover stew and the broccoli, cauliflower salad. Today I enjoyed two stuffed to the max boneless skinless chicken tender wraps containing healthy servings of 50/50 salad greens, extra sharp cheddar cheese, sweet onions, and jalapeños with ranch dressing. My dessert was yogurt and peanut butter, as well as cantaloupe.
Still have a cold, hoping it will go away soon though!0 -
YUMMY, I'm having a wrap for my OMAD too...Mine will be ham and cheese with lots of lettuce and ranch dressing
Darn cold
How's your grandbaby doing? 1 -
Oh, Brenda, your wrap will be yummy! I haven't had ham in a while, think I may need to pick some up soon.
Grandbaby is doing great! She rarely cries, only if hungry or needs changing. She grunts a lot when she sleeps which has her mom and I doing a half up position with hand out--like, wait for it, wait for it,--then nothing and we sit back down. lol DIL is healing well, but there are still things she shouldn't do due to the c-section. I haven't been holding Aubrey much the past couple of days because of this cold though. :-(0 -
I had a wrap today...we call them beef & bean burritos!2

You blew right through 200!0

@shans34 thank you
@blambo61 it did seem to go quite fast. Lol. I will never revisit the 200s again! Yes, I am saying "never".
@brendagaudette, I will definitely tell her and thank you. Haha, popcorn is a good thing!2 -
Hooray, down another 2 pounds. :-)
Lunch was 2 of my homemade sloppy joes on 100% whole wheat tortillas, a huge salad with cherry tomatoes, 5 olives, extra sharp cheddar cheese, and my homemade honey mustard vinegarrette dressing. I had a cup of yogurt with peanut butter that I dipped a pink lady apple in, and also had 8 oz. of cantaloupe I bought a food scale and measuring tools to help the rest of my time here, worth it in my opinion and they were super cheap! Total calories 1335, I was completely satisfied. :-)

Thanks so much. It'll probably slow down a bit more now since I'm close to exiting the obese range, but that's okay. 0

Yesterday, I originally planned my meal for a night out at Buffalo Wild Wings with a friend. I put everything in my diary to ensure I didn't go over calories. Well, I found out that there are no "naked wings", but rather "naked tenders". I did not go there to eat tenders. Instead of grabbing my phone to find another alternative, I decided to say, "Screw it!" I have been eating to create a deficit the past few days to prepare for last night. Special occasions are not regular for me and I didn't track the entire time in London. I relaxed and just stuck to OMAD, never getting miserably stuffed but staying pleasantly satisfied to allow room for drinks and snacks that always accompany drinking, lol. So, that's what I did last night! I had 2 mozzarella sticks dipped in sauce, 1/2 an order of the fried garlic mushrooms dipped in sauce, 2 traditional blazin' wings, and 3 habanero mango wings. That filled me up quite nicely and I had 3 big glasses of ice water... and lost a lot of mucous from my body with the wings coated in ghost pepper sauce. lolol
It felt good to let go for once. I didn't pig out, yet I enjoyed something I rarely have that wasn't very good for me and I feel great. Even better, I plugged in those numbers this morning and coupled with my pre-once-in-a-blue-moon meal dessert of yogurt with peanut butter and an apple earlier in the day to stave off the hunger from going way past my normal 23 hour fast, I ended with roughly 1183 calories, in total--roughly because some mushrooms were bigger than others and I did share them, had I eaten it entirely alone it would've been 640 calories. It's lower than I like, but I was honestly too full to finish my meal last night. Anyway, so that's that :-)0 -
I wonder why they don't make naked wings, I mean wouldn't that be easy enough to do?!?!?! I'm glad you found something else and that you enjoyed them, even the hot ones 0

I should've asked why they don't make them. Lol
Thank you, we had a great time.

Had an amazing 6.4 mile hike with my friend today! I am so beat now. I drank water like a fish and am still thirsty. She made us lovely vegetarian Greek Salad Wraps with Hummus (Pinterest recipe under Wendy Polisi), as well as watermelon, and pre-made bottle of Margaritas along with the ice and margarita salt. I could only eat one wrap after the hike, along with loads of watermelon and 2 margaritas. When I got home I ate the other wrap, as well as my yogurt and peanut butter. Calories totaled 1439. However, I burned 1483--btw, my friend achieved similar results and she used Fitbit, whereas I had my Apple Watch. So, my RARE day of this sort of activity actually wiped out my food calories today and then some. I cannot any more food, I am too full!
Some pictures of our hike at Ocqueoc Falls in Michigan. I'm the one without sunglasses.0 -
That looks like a very nice hike! That is a lot of fun to do. Congrats.0

Um... A snake!? Yikes!0

Another reason OMAD is so cool - you actually CAN let go and not worry too much. A regular diet kind of stops all that - you go out and you can 1. eat hardly anything because you have only small number of calories left or 2. eat too much and feel super guilty about it - both options SUCK!

Lol, yep, I was all prepared to haul *kitten* until I noticed it didn't have a rattle, no idea what kind of snake it was that we saw, I may try identifying it later today. I grew up in Northern Michigan, blissfully unaware that we have one venomous species of rattlesnake--until my mom posted a picture of one a few months back, she lived here until age 69 without ever having seen one, and the other day my DIL saw one that was rattling away at her friend's house. Eep!

Exactly! Not to mention that if 1 happens enough, the diet because unsustainable because of the "this sucks" factor, and if 2 two happens, it's almost inevitably followed up with an "I can't do it" mentality that leads to blowing I the next day, the day after that, and then a long period of not doing anything at all.
