Yeaaaa Steph! You did it. Great job keeping it 99.9. I don't like having to taste food when I am on my fast days. Most times I don't and just hope for the best or I have someone else taste it and let me know if anything is needed.

LMFAO I feel ya there! The only person I could have taste it is Cedric, and he loves everything I make -_- He IS getting pretty good though! I asked him to stir it last night, and then once he did I was like "taste it, does it need salt?" He smelled it and said "yeah it does, it smells flat" (which is a culinary word he's picked up LOL) - sure as sh**, I tasted it and it DID need a tiche of salt...I'm training him well :P Only took a decade! LOL
I don't mind tasting if it's not enough to pull me out of fasting...it used to bother me mentally and pull me into the craving zone but not so much anymore

Yeah it is hard to take a teensy taste. Luckily I have two hungry boys to do the tasting for me....but it is hard.....

You guys - on Fridays I generally try to OMAD but if I don't it's no biggie and today my boss came around with a "grab bag" (sometimes he goes and buys a bunch of fun ice cream snacks from the caf) and I got a strawberry shortcake ice cream bar and THAT SH** took me right back to childhood! IT WAS SO FREAKIN GOOD!
Just thought I'd report LOL0 -
Yay for 171.2

Congratulations! Its great when you start to get into the zone when you feel comfortable with yourself. Takes a lot of pressure off isnt it. Im just getting there and once im 150 its gonna feel awesome because i will no longer feel like big or overweight and everything else is a win. OMG cant believe this, we are all doing it ladies (and gents)! We re gonna get there this year. :0)0

Happy Monday OMADers!
178.2 this morning after a BEAUTIFUL weekend of eating :-D I fail and only took 1 pic (it's being fussy and I'll have to post it after lunch) but here's what I had
Friday - 5 pieces of a medium HH's pizza with extra cheese, pepp, and jalepenos...half cajun crust, half asiago crust
Saturday - noodlies w 2 egg yolks, a gyro from Arby's, curly fries with crack ranch, a jamocha shake, and samoas crumbled on top...a few pieces of candy too
Sunday - noodlies again with 2 yolks (pic is of Ced's LOL - he likes a full poached egg), a mcdonald's crispy chicken sammy, bacon and cheese fries, and a strawberry shake with samoas crumbled on top again NOM NOM NOM
Back on the fasting train todayyyyyyyy - I'm seeing my primary this afternoon to see if I can get approved for a standing desk, because sitting all day hurts these lil hips 'o' mine...we'll see!
Happy Monday y'all and stay tuned for a pic of beautiful noodlies

LOL only 1 picture this timeeeeeeeeeee but I'll try to remember this week, scout's honor
So right now I"m doing a weird schedule but I like it and it's working SO:
M-W: 500 or less cal OMAD
Th: Full Fast
Friday: Whatever I want OMAD
Sat-Sun: Whatever I want, about a 6 hour window
I weigh Fridays to remove all variables...I'm averaging about 2 pounds a week on that, which is just ducky 1 -
Here you go all...really good quality instant noodles (you have to get the good ones, often from Asian supermarkets or sometimes Walmart, if yours has a good Asian section) cooked with bone broth, topped with a poached egg It's a staple in my household
1 -
OMG I love me some noodles with poached eggs.....So yummy, and getting good quality noodles is the key. Bacon fat is also good in them. It's a southern thing ya'll LOL.....
Steph good luck today with your primary, hope you get the standing desk. i have one and love love it...…

Yassssssssss I've had one at previous jobs and it makes a HUGE difference!
And yes, can't stress it enough - GOOD QUALITY NOODLES!0 -
I LOOOOOOVE noodles. Literally one of my favorite foods. I may make some pad see ew later this week after seeing these yummies!
ETA: Thanks for sharing your schedule! You're so good at finding out what works for you!
A standing desk sounds amazing. Does it hurt your feet after a while?

I have a pair of slippers under my desk, if I stand too long, and have on heels, I just put on my slippers totally comfy!!!

@volgirl1322 makes total sense!0

Yassssssssssss I love Asian noodles ESPECIALLY!!! :-D Do you have a good pad thai recipe? I've tried a million sauce recipes and it's never right
This desk is a mount on my work desk, and moves so it allows me to alternate standing and sitting which is PERFECT! :-D
Donna, I wear winter boots in and have sketchers slip ons to wear around the office....if Im actually at my desk, it's socks only! :P Oh also I don't/can't wear heels sooooooooooo LOL0 -
I'm actually not a huge pad thai eater! I love the thick rice noodles in pad see ew much better, and I love the sauce even more! Have you had it before?0

Ok guys so....I hate a great mini fast yest - around 600 cals total but FULL of salt *sigh*
Only 1 pound down today - 177.2
Not the end of the world, I just like seeing big losses the first day so it seems less of a hurdle through the week - ah well...I need to average about 2.75 lbs a day to hit goal BUT Thursday is always a little better whoosh SO we'll see...I'd love to post my picture but MFP is being really fussy so I'll post it as soon as I can.
My weigh in matches my mood today - kinda MEH...I can't seem to wake up, and I'm kinda womp womp which is unusual for me. TBH it's probably the weather...I'm so beyond over winter it's not even funny. AND more snow and ice tonight *sigh*0 -
We are expecting another 6-8 inches of snow tomorrow here in PA so tomorrow and maybe Thursday will be work from home days for me.0
-
Okay I love you girls but snow is way better than rain
We have about 8-12 inches of rain coming between now and Sunday. Nasty wet cold rain...…..Our Feb has sucked in the weather department...….just so gross......we don't live in a flood zone thankfully but I am so over the rain......I'll trade and take the snow
0 -
You are right about winter being to blame for our moods and I didnt even weigh after my 2 splurge days because I just don't want to be too discouraged. We are getting snow and rain tonight and into tomorrow yuck!!! Praying that spring comes soon
0 -
Yuck. And this is why moving to Miami is still in my top 5 of the greatest decisions I've ever made. I hope you all get better weather soon. It really does impact the mood.0
