Blasphemerrrrrrrrrr!!!! Lol
I will enjoy, thanks Brenda
Do you have yours with beer in it?
I go traditional with mine! Tequila, cointreau/triple sec, sour mix, lime juice, ice and salt! Simple and delish
I have to have mine with Vodka due to a few unfortunate incidents with Tequila in the past.... Oops...
Oops
I haven't drank in sooo long but I crave it every once in a while.
I totally get it... I think my fellow wine drinkers around here will agree, the struggle is real! LOL... That being said not drinking as a really easy way to not get those extra calories hi honey0 -

Awesome, Brenda! I meant to tell you thanks for posting your daily fluctuations. Before I started weighing daily, I never knew how much it could fluctuate and how extreme, and boy would it cause a meltdown if I only weighed weekly. lol Now, it's like I know certain foods or how much I eat will affect my daily number. It's why I didn't panic when the scale rose the day after having an excessive amount of margaritas. It can take me 2 days to rid too much salt that causes water retention, or even 5. lol
I wanted to ask you if, now at maintenance, have you seen a difference between how you ate prior to losing weight? Particularly your non OMAD days?1 -
Thanks Sandy, you're welcome
Before I lost weight I would start a diet (Always on a Monday) and then by the middle of the week I would mess up and I would feel so guilty and I would just give up for the rest of the week until the next Monday where it would start all over again But now that I won that battle and I'm having my splurge days, I really enjoy them and don't feel guilty because I know that the weight gain is going to come back off after my OMAD days 1 -
Thank you, Brenda! You've helped confirm that with this lifestyle, there is a light at the end of the tunnel no matter how many diets we started and failed it. Perhaps because this isn't a diet, right? It's a sustainable way of life. :-)0
