The week had started out great, by Friday I was down a total of two pounds for the week and 7 pounds since I started, but I messed it all up over the weekend. Today I was up almost three pounds making my grand total of weight loss for the last two weeks at only around 1/2 a pound. I don’t to OMAD (one meal a day) over the weekends, only weekday, and then eat whatever I want on weekends. Clearly, I need to quit “whatever I want” on weekends, it’s wrecking any progress I make during the week.
It’s a new week and although I don’t plan on eating OMAD on weekends, I will be behaving a lot more than I have been.

This is what I had for OMAD (one meal a day) today. I used to have spring rolls all the time. I love them so much and they’re really healthy. I’m happy I made them.
Today went really well. Mondays are usually one of the easier days because weekends I tend to eat a lot. I had some coffee and Bubly. I didn’t have any dizziness. I got really hungry around noon, which is normal for me. The hunger faded and came back around 5 with a vengeance.
The spring rolls are easy to make. I just throw shredded carrots and mushrooms, spinach, green onion, and marinated tofu, into some rice paper. I used to make my own sweet chili sauce, but this time I used a commercially prepared one. I plan on making them more often.

I finished another week of OMAD (one meal a day). I do OMAD on the weekdays and eat whatever I feel like on weekends. I lost a pound this week. My weekends of bad behavior are really stalling the progress, but at least it was a loss, bringing me to a grand total of almost three pounds.
I have struggled with dizziness on OMAD days. On those days I’ll eat a couple salty crackers and that has helped. I’ve noticed that days I drink a Bubly carbonated beverage, the dizziness hasn’t come. I plan on drinking one every OMAD day. If I don’t get dizzy, I’ll stick to that otherwise, I’ll have some crackers when I get dizzy.
I’ve been on OMAD for a total of two weeks now. I see other people losing much more weight than I am, but I think they are doing it 7 days a week. I am always up two pounds after the weekend. I am going to continue this way unless the weight loss stops. It’s working for me even though the weight is coming off very slowly.

Today started out easy enough. I didn’t eat until evening. I had some coffee and tea in the morning. I went out to eat with a friend for dinner. I was doing okay during the day, but by the time I sat down at the restaurant I was starting to get dizzy.
I ordered a pretty healthy meal from the Graffiti Market in Waterloo. I got the Phat Bowl. I found out pickled onion can be super tasty. I liked this bowl and felt good about ordering it. I got some take out for my spouse, a mushroom pizza and I ate almost a whole slice of his pizza. This isn’t ordinary pizza, this is super deep dish (over an inch thick) pizza that was drizzled with truffle oil and cheeses. It was crazy decadent.
I also had a handful of BBQ chips when I got home and chocolate chips. I must be craving sugar because I don’t actually like chocolate chips until they are baked into a cookie. I wanted a peach, but they had already turned. Every peach I buy is rotted in the middle. I’m having no luck with them. Right now I’m enjoying a glass of wine and I’m finished eating for the day.
I think I might bring crackers with me places in case I feel dizzy. I won’t feel bad about breaking the fast in that instance.

Today was so hard. I woke up with a splitting headache that lasted all day. By lunch time I felt really nauseated. I decided to break my fast early and got a snack.
I got this granola bar, but I still didn’t feel any better. Later on someone brought cookies for us (I swear I’m a magnet for cookies). They were pumpkin flavoured wafer cookies. They were super delicious too. I had one and still wasn’t feeling any better. Near the end of the afternoon I had two more.
I walked out to meet my spouse and by the time we met up I was feeling really lousy. He had some snacks in the car. Guess what they were. Cookies LOL. I had a couple bites of cookie, probably bringing my cookie total to 5, plus a granola bar.
I got this football sized black bean pattie pita for dinner. It was huge and I ate half of it with an Advil. I still had the monster headache. I must tell you about one of the weirdest sensations I’ve had involving food. I was starving and completely stuffed all at the same time. I’ve never had those two sensations happen at the same time. I ate half the sandwich and still ravenous, but also stuffed. I was so full I was close to feeling uncomfortable and my stomach still hadn’t clued in. It was weird.
It’s later on in the evening I’m feeling much better now. The Advil has kicked the headache and I’ve just finished my other half of the sandwich. It’s rare for me to get a headache. This one was a doozy. I’m not sure if it was from doing OMAD (one meal a day), or because it went from a sunny day to rain. Right now I’m drinking a cherry Bubly and feeling a million times better.

It was a Subway day today. I had wanted a pita, but my schedule worked out that I wouldn’t be near a Pita Pit, today. I am still on the takeout wagon and ended up at Subway. I love the Beyond Meatball sub, but they didn’t have it, so I opted for the veggie pattie sub. You cant tell from the photo because the gigantic veggie pattie is hiding it all, but there are actually quite a bit of vegetables on there. It was okay, but please please bring back the beyond veggie balls. I miss it!
I usually only get a 6 inch, but since I’m doing OMAD (one meal a day), I felt justified in getting a foot long sub (I admit I got cookies too). I was really hungry and thought I could plow through that sandwich, but I couldn’t. I was stuffed after half of it. I’m still going to eat the other half sometime before I go to bed tonight, which is probably not part of the OMAD rules (I don’t really know what the rules are), but I’m still going to finish it.

Today went well. I was hungrier than yesterday, but I made it until evening. I went out to the Thai Hut and got this dish called Pad La Na. It was okay. I’ve loved everything from the Thai Hut, but this one wasn’t my favourite. I want to try everything on their menu, I love that place so much. I recommend the green curry and peanut noodle dish. I love them. I don’t usually eat out this much, but I’ve lost my cooking mojo. Tomorrow I’ll be going out for pitas. Hopefully after that I get back into cooking. I just haven’t felt like it lately.
I’m very thirsty this evening. I’m currently drinking hot, black tea. During the day I had a small coffee and two Bubly drinks. I don’t normally get thirsty. The Bublys make me pee like crazy. Maybe that has something to do with it. I want to drink another Bubly, but I do worry that much carbonation is bad for you. I also do NOT want to drink water. Even infused water is something I’m not very good about drinking it. It’s something I have to work on.
