What’s For Dinner – April 4 2023

Dinner was a spicy one today! I wanted something quick and easy and this recipe for spiced halloumi and pineapple burgers caught my eye. I love halloumi and a burger is generally quick and easy to make. I didn’t have a lot of the ingredients so I winged it. I mixed lime juice, salt, pepper and a pinch of chilli flakes together with a couple handfuls of spinach. I had baby carrots in the fridge and chopped them up to mix with the lime mixture and added a tablespoon of avocado oil.

I was cooking for two so I tossed a couple slices of canned pineapple rings and halloumi into a frying pan with a generous squirt of hot sauce to both sides. I fried it until the halloumi and pineapple were browned on both sides.

The recipe called for chipotle paste on the pineapple and cheese, which I didn’t have, so I used this hot sauce that I already had.

I didn’t have burger buns, but I did have English muffins – good enough. I added the halloumi and grilled pineapple to my English muffin.

Added a handful of the side salad.

And voila – there was dinner. It was okay. I’m sure if I followed the original recipe it would have been way better.

I was craving dessert and since I have been skipping lunches again, I went with it. I picked up a big slice of cake from a bakery and split it with Mr Lobster Shorts. I usually love the baked goods from this bakery, but this slice of cake wasn’t one I liked that much and I only had a couple bites.

OMAD Day 5

Disclaimer. I am not a medical professional, nutritionist, or anyone with any business giving diet advice. This is my own personal journey. When it comes to yourself, seek the advice of a medical professional.

I bought one today. I already have one, but I have to step on it several times before it starts giving a consistent number. I snapped this one up at a Canadian Tire for $29.99. Hopefully the number on my old scale wasn’t way off and I have a wake up call tomorrow morning!

I also bought this ridiculous thing for $39.99. I’m going to need to write out my inner monologue here:

A “Oh cool it’s like a more fun push up”
B “Or you could do an actual push up… for free”
A “I can’t do a push up”
B “Even more of a reason to keep trying. Force yourself to do it
A “Yeah, I’m not doing that. This looks more fun and easier”
B “….”
A “This way I might actually do push ups… on this thing”
B “Maybe for a week, then you can put it with all the other fitness equipment that you don’t use”
A “But isn’t it better to try something new and see if it works. What if this is the thing that will set me off on a fitness lifestyle and I get ridiculously fit, all because of this pull up thingy?”
B “Is that what you actually think is going to happen?”
A “Pfft I’m buying it anyway”
B *sigh…

So I bought it. Now I have to use it because inner voice B is right way too often.

As for OMAD… At the office again, someone sent me home with some cookies. I am a cookie magnet these days! I totally ate a ton of them too, but I waited until the car ride home, after 6:15pm to get into them. I more of the leftovers from Muya’s (still delicious the next day!), and had some iced tea. I ate so much takeout yesterday I hurt myself. I was still down a pound this morning though (according to two out of five tries on the scale).

I always drink a coffee in the morning (black) and throughout the day I drink Bubly’s. Usually 3 of them. I don’t know if that many carbonated drinks is good for you. I used to drink tea, but that stuff is so full of chemicals, I don’t think that is the greatest choice either. If I try to drink plain water, I might drink a glass, but that seems to be all I will drink.

It’s the weekend tomorrow and I’m not planning to follow OMAD on weekends, just weekdays. I’m also on vacation now and have a feeling OMAD might not be in the cards until I’m back to work. I’ll try to somewhat behave though.
