I didn’t lose any weight at the end of the week, but I’m not frustrated, just a tiny bit disappointment. It’s early shark week (that’s a period reference) and I always gain a couple pounds beforehand. That’s why I’m not super upset about not losing anything this week.
I definitely need to be better on weekends. Sunday was a free for all eating fest. I made the magic custard cake with a recipe I got from YouTube
It was pretty good and I’m embarrassed to say I ate most of it. Next week I hope to do better.

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.

I’m following the one meal a day style of eating (except for weekends). I had some trouble near the end of the week and over the weekend. Thursday and Friday I broke the fast early, Saturday I had what I wanted, and Sunday I skipped breakfast, but ate terribly the rest of the day. I weighed myself today and I’m only down 1.5lbs. I was hoping for more, but glad it was a loss and not a gain.
Today starts week two. It’s a long weekend for me and I’m struggling to wait until dinner. I have the biggest craving for pickled beets. I am going to have them for dinner, probably the whole jar lol. Right now I’m drinking a cherry Bubly and watching a movie with my guy. I worked out this morning, a quick jog. It felt great. It was the first time I worked out in a long time. My week is starting out pretty good.

I flubbed OMAD today. I felt really crappy yesterday, and woke up with a headache again today, that I thought eating breakfast today was a good idea. I got a Tim Hortons egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, and I felt great after. The plan was to skip lunch, but that didn’t happen. I picked up two of these packs of sushi from the T&T store in Waterloo, for dinner for me and my spouse. We ended up eating it for lunch in the car on the way home. For takeout sushi, this was really good.
While heading over to get my spouse, I stopped at a bakery to pick up some keto treats for my future in laws. The Sconery has my favourite macarons in the whole world – honey lavender. As you can see, I didn’t leave the bakery without getting a couple (they are the same colour, the sunshine skewed the photo). I love love love these macarons. My spouse does not care for macarons, so I also had the both of them on the way home.
For dinner I had a GIANT salad. I thought I had finished eating for the day after this, but I disappointed myself by eating two slices of white toast with butter, that I really didn’t need.
For the weekend, I don’t plan to follow OMAD. Weekends we go out for breakfast with our dog and I always get a breakfast sandwich and latte. Weekends are what people refer to as cheat days. It seems I started early this weekend.

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.

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.
