    Thanksgiving didn't hurt you too bad and I would blame the darn stuffing! I use the boxed Bells stuffing and it's my favorite :p

    I love the idea of doing it in the stockpot! And with the cream of chicken soup, I bet it stays plenty moist, unlike many dressings.

    Wow lots of yummy looking flavors. Too much sugar for me. I am on the Rebel Ice cream kick right now and will be venturing soon into making my own ice cream. I bought an ice cream maker attachment for my kitchen aid mixer and am looking to make use of it with low carb ice cream recipes.

    Hi Friends!

    Yesterday was crazy busy ---we did a team building/work lunch activity at a local mall. We did random acts of kindness and OMG it was so much fun!!!! We had lunch (and drinks) at Chuys first, and then in teams performed random acts of kindness in the mall. We met up after 2 hours and the winning team got prizes. It was super fun and people were so awesome! I did eat/drink though and the OMAD was at lunch with margarittas and mexican, then we had dessert/martinis after. So I was totally over my cals yesterday for sure!

    Here is a picture of our group :) we were the ho ho hos LOL ( the Hos >:) didn't sound too great) LOL.....I am in the blonde one in the HO HO HO hat :)......

    When I saw this picture it reminded me of how far I have come since starting my journey which wasn't always about OMAD. Sometimes I still the "fat girl" in me, but then other times I am like wow ---you are so close to your goal and I get super happy. Just a reminder to all of you fabulous peeps of something I saw recently. Your life is not yours if you care what other's think. Repeat that with me.....Pretty huge huh?? You are all wonderful, beautiful, and perfectly made :)......

    Okay ---here is a pic of a few years before my journey --I was close to 240 then....I was swollen and miserable --just horrid to look at now

    And here is one from yesterday.....I am the blonde

    I am under the weather today, running fever, and still in bed. So no weigh in, I think I have the flu like bug that is going around.....pretty much just feel like I have been run over by a truck.....terrible headache, body aches, etc. Will weigh tomorrow hopefully!! :'( !

    Thanks ya'll. WHile the picture was horrid it will serve as a good reminder as to how far I have come and how miserable I was when food was in control. OMAD has been such a huge blessing and so so easy!!! Still not at UGW but so close now.....

    I finally felt better by Saturday --I was so sick Friday I didn't even get out of bed, my whole body ached........I did weigh on Sunday and was at 160 even. The plan until the new year is to be mindful but not strict. For example, today we have a work lunch party and that will be my OMAD ---totally works.....

    This past Saturday was Omad and then Sunday it was a snacky day. I made some treats for work, and reindeer crack (if you haven't heard of it OMG it is freaking' amazing) salt +sweet.....and it is called crack bc it is hard to stop when you eat it :).....Then we had Mexican last night, has some fajitas.....

    So I will OMAD on most days over the holidays and hopefully stay close to 160 or less. The goal will be to get to 145-150 for UGW by early next year.....

    Happy Monday Ya'll

    Now boo.....you KNOW I'm gonna ask for that reindeer crack recipes SMH :p;)

    You've TOTES got this!!! You're almost thereeeeeeeeeeee!!! Random thought question - you're 5'6" yes?

  • volgirl1322
    volgirl1322 Posts: 2,086 Member
    Yes around 5'5.5 LOL

    Reindeer crack is a sweet/salty snack mix that you can make however you like....the "crack" is because you can't just eat one bite. Here is how I make mine:

    2 cups chex cereal (rice, corn works best)
    1 cup cheerios
    1 cup (or more) pretzels
    1 cup (or more) bugles or fritos (both awesome)
    1 cup nuts (any variety pecans are delicious in this)
    2 cups M&Ms (holiday colors are awesome
    20 oz of white chocolate bark
    2 tablespoons crisco

    Mix everything but chocolate/crisco together in large bowl. Line mixture on parchment lined pans (for this recipe it took 3 pans).

    Melt Chocolate and crisco in microwave until fully melted. Drizzle on top of mixture. Place pans in freezer for at least 20 minutes. Break apart and enjoy. Can be stored in air tight containers for at least a couple of weeks ---but ya'll in my house it won't last that long.....

    This container was full when I brought it to work this morning......

    Yup! I'mma be makin' THAT!!! I think I'd do it with dark chocolate though because I have a STRONG dark choc preference LMAO - or maybe melt rollos? I used to make something like this with regular hard pretzels and sammich 'em with a rollo and "bake" to make lil sammies - this is more interesting ;)

    I have made it with dark chocolate (which I like more too) and it is amazing.....some of my work peeps don't like dark chocolate (WTH:?) so I had to please them........it is so good and you can get super creative with it for sure!!!
