I was doing the One Meal A Day thing before my vacation. I was only on it for a short time and had even dropped three pounds. Then vacation came. I ate like a fiend and gained the three pounds back. My vacation is now over and I’m starting OMAD again.
Today is a retake on day one. I overate so much yesterday, my body didn’t even cue me I was hungry until around 4:30 and that is not usual for me. My spouse had a rough day and I wanted to take him out to a Thai restaurant we both really like in Stratford called the Thai Hut, but unfortunately they are closed on Mondays.
We ended up at Harvey’s instead for some veggie burgers (I LOVE Harvey’s veggie burgers!). I really wanted french fries at that point, but eating one meal a day, some veggies needed to be in there. I ordered the garden salad (the only one they had) and it was typical of a fast food sald (iceberg lettuce and a couple random other veggies thrown in there). I’m pretty sure iceburg lettuce has very little nutrients in it, but it was again all they had. I also swiped some french fries from my spouse too (yum).
I took a calcium supplement later when I got home. I would have taken a multivitamin with it too, but by that time my stomach wasn’t stuffed enough. If I don’t take them when I’m eating, I will get super nauseated later.
I really wasn’t all that hungry today because of the weekend. Tomorrow might be a different story, but today went really well. I had a small coffee for breakfast and a couple Bubly sparkling water beverages. I won’t have another vacation for a while, so this round of OMAD should go much better.
