    Meal today: Two huge chicken and avocado fajitas with a topping Donnie made yesterday with cilantro, fiesta corn, garlic, tomatoes, etc., extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded lettuce, fire sauce, and sour cream. For dessert I blended bananas and chia seeds and layered it with smashed strawberries and chopped walnuts. So good, so filling! I did end up eating my fajitas with a fork because a lot spilled out.

    Ended up with the following totals: 1463 Calories, 131 Carbs, 65 Grams Fat, 91 Grams Protein, 1995 Sodium, and 33 Sugars.

    I just called and scheduled an annual physical for the first time in my life. I'm very excited, I haven't had any blood work done since last year for a health reason and all but my bad cholesterol was fine. It was 200+ something, but I'm sure they still have that information. I'm anxious to see if that has went down at all. Anyway, it's at 7:15 Friday morning. :)

    Gotta love nature's candy and goes so well with nature's nuts and seeds! It really was filling, I love how chia seeds plump up when mixed with something moist :)

    do you chop the walnuts with a knife one by one or throw them in a food processor? sorry I'm a pretty basic cook :D

    I need to try that. I'm not big on desserts, but, oh boy, that sure looks delicious... I have several frozen bananas sitting in the freezer that need to be used too.

    Lol, no worries. I don't have a processor, I do have a Vitamix though, but I didn't use it for the nuts. I just threw them on a chopping board and randomly chopped a bunch at once :)

    I was never big on desserts, either, surprisingly. Never served after meals in our home unless special occasion like a holiday. I just enjoy adding them in now for some reason, no idea why. Maybe because I'm a fruit nut and love to play around with them. :)

    Well it certainly looks pretty all laid out as a meal - I think there's definitely something to be said for the psychological effects of a great looking dinner. Like going to a fancy restaurant...

    Good luck with your physical, I'm sure your doctor will be happy with your weight loss, I'm having blood work done on Friday also for my thyroid because my numbers keep going up and down...Your meal looks delicious, I just might have a wrap tomorrow :p

    @minigrrll, I agree about the psychological aspect of having the meal laid out. So funny, not only has OMAD broken my food addictions, I also sit at the table to eat instead of in the living room. It's become rare to eat out there instead of the other way around.

    Funny; as a big guy, I would bring pizza, ice cream, chips, and popcorn and pig out in the recliner watching COPS until I was sick and sleepy! lol
