    Good afternoon OMADers 😘

    CW : 60.5kg

    Pretty happy to see 0.1kg down😊 I know it's not much but it better than nothing 😁

    Had Char Kway Teow from my OMAD today. Its a street food in South East Asia and you can find this at any Chinese / Asian restaurants here in Down Under 😉 Finished off with a glass of Milo.. yummo😍

    OOO that dish looks so good!
    I wish we had more authentic Asian food here. We've always had Korean food places. Only within the last few years have we gotten a couple of Vietnamese restaurants, but all of our Chinese places only sell Americanized dishes. I would love to try real Chinese food one day. I watch a lot of food vlogs and always get so jealous at the delicious stuff they can get lol.

    Thank you @LiLee2018 <3 We love Korean food too <3 I make my own Kimchi...so, most of the time, I will always have a spoon or two of kimchi which I eat with everything...lol. Do you have any Malaysian or Singaporean restaurants over at your place? They will surely have Char Kway Teow <3

    Good afternoon OMADers 😘

    CW :60.5kg

    No change during weigh-in this morning 🤨 Oh well, might be because I didn't drink enough of water? 💦 Oh well..will continue till I see some weight loss.

    Had a huge OMAD today. Started with Thai Basil Chicken with Egg and Rice. Finished off with Milk Tea and 1/3 piece of Black Forest Cake (gave DH the rest before I gobble it up😅)

    Here's what I had for my OMAD 🍜 Egg noodles with fishball, chicken and veggies. Will be drinking milk tea later ☺️

    CW: 60.5kg

    Good afternoon OMADers 😘

    Still no change on the scale but that's OK coz I don't crave outside of my OMAD window. So, no gain is just awesome 👍 Managed to zumba 45 mins yesterday evening, so alls good 💃

    Happy Easter and stay safe🐰❤️

    JP your food looks soooo good! Nice you found an omad eating routine that keeps you happy and satisfied. It's too dang hard to follow if we don't enjoy our food.
    Zumba is so much fun isn't it? I was shocked at how challenging it is.
    What kind of shop did you guys open? Congrats on your new business! I hope it's fun and very lucrative :)

    @katjustkat - Thank you ❤️ Love love love zumba💃 When we were in the countryside, DH opened a cafe. So, when we decided to move back to the city, DH just open up another cafe just like the one we had. It's a small cafe. I quit my job to help him coz covid-19 has hit us badly. Now, it's a hubby & wife team.

    Good evening OMAD-ers 😘

    CW: 60.1kg

    Its been a while since I wrote. Been a little busy at the shop which is good news. Have bills, school fees, rent, etc etc etc to pay monthly. Sometimes, I do wish that I didn't quit my job so that there's another income but, if I do that, I will be using my salary to pay DH's staff as business has slowed down a lot since covid-19 started. So, its better to work with DH.

    I really hope to see the land of the 50s before April 2021 is over🤞 Still doing my zumba daily💃

    What did I have for my OMAD today? One of my favourite food (I have a lot of favourites) and it's Banh Mi.

    JP cool that you opened a cafe! I would never know how to do that. In order to make some income, I taught myself to trade stocks 22 years ago. It has been a Godsend for us. I'm hoping to wind down as I spend too much time in front of the computer. I highly recommend learning how to trade for extra income.
    That sammy looks professional! ummmm I can imagine biting into that soft chewy bread yummmmm....haha

    @mistymeadows2005 - Yes, I think lots of people love banh mi😍 We make this at our cafe too🤩

    @katjustkat - Thank you ❤️ We sells banh mi at the cafe too and that's what I made for my OMAD 😍 Yes, DH has opened the cafe for 10 years before we move back to the city. We just shifted his cafe (lock, stock and barrel) to the city😁

    Good afternoon OMADers 😘

    Met a school mate earlier at Costco and we were talking about how much we gained since college days😂 I remember when I first joined this group in July 2018 and my stats were

    Height : 5'2"
    SW : 67kg
    CW : 64.2kg
    GW : 50kg

    In October 2019, I managed to get down to around 52kg. Then when COVID-19 came about, my body balloon back up to 62-63kg. So now, I am back up onto the wagon to loose back the weight that I gained. My school mate calls it yo-yo dieting.

    My OMAD for today was Costco hotdog and Pepsi Max. Managed to zumba yesterday evening and hopefully zumba this evening too 🤞

    Have a good weekend ❤️

    Another beautiful, nutritious meal! You making me itch to get back to the gym. Did you find a zumba online that you like or do you have to go to the gym?

    @katjustkat - Thank you ❤️ As we have to be at the shop, I will go to youtube and follow the zumba there after we close. 😊

    Good evening OMAD-ers 😘

    Had been quite consistent as I am satisfied with my OMAD. However, the weight loss is slow. But, that is OK. At least I don't crave and then start grazing😂. Have been zumba-ing daily too which am happy with.

    Here's my OMAD for today, Crispy Crackling Pork Belly with Egg Noodle.
