Nice sunshinney day here in the Midwest. I will get to go outside and walk again today. Did that yesterday with my little dogs and it was gorgeous out especially for a January day.
My OMAD (one meal a day) weight loss plan is coming along wonderfully. I am down this morning by 1.8 pounds since yesterday morning. I started this way of eating on Tuesday. This makes a loss of 12 pounds so far. I know that a lot of this is water retention weight from all of the salt and sugar during the holidays. Clothes are fitting much better and I am so thankful that I started OMAD again.
Today's menu:
Homemade chilli with beef and beans
3 tostados
Sour cream
salad with dressing
2 oz cheese
2 T flax seed
1 T chia with probiotics.
homemade sf cherry pizza
I can hardly wait for my meal today. I think it will be yummy.

My Joanna Lund Recipes Doing OMAD
I love my Joanna Lund cookbooks and am really enjoying making some of the recipes for my OMAD (one meal a day weight loss).
If you have never heard of Joanna, she was a cookbook author from here in the Midwest. I have been collecting her cookbooks for years having over 40 of them. I have acquired many of them really cheap on Amazon.
I do cook most of my food, but I also keep prepared meals in the freezer just in case I don't have the time to start from "scratch".
She also put out newsletters which have some really good recipes.
The recipes are very simple. If I don't have a particular ingredient, I do make substitutions.

Ten Pounds Lost Since I Started my OMAD Weight Loss Diet Plan
Actually OMAD (one meal a day diet) is really working for me. I am down 10 pounds since I restarted this plan on Tuesday (Jan 1). I am getting rid of the holidays weight gain. I know a lot of my weight loss is from water retention due to too much salt and sugar; but, hey, I will take it.
This is a wonderful time of year to get on this plan for me as I am looking forward to Spring and wearing all of my Spring clothes. That is a great motivator for me I have approximately 15 pounds to get to my goal and should be able to get there in a few weeks. I am in no hurry, just keeping on plan and I know it will happen.
I am eating what I want only just eating one time a day within my calorie range. This is the joy of eating this way. I don't have to limit any food just so I count it in my calorie limit. A lot of people on this way of eating don't count calories; but; for me, I need to do that to keep me on track. Everybody is different, so whatever works for each individual is the way to go. I try to eat a variety of meat, fruit, veggies, dairy and fats. I don't restrict carbs as some do, but really enjoy them.
I am drinking lots of water and getting exercise.
Yesterday's menu:
Hearty chilli with ground beef and beans
Rice
Green Beans
Cornmeal dill muffin
Cherry Pizza
All of these recipes are from my collection of Joanna Lund's cookbooks. The cherry pizza is made from cherries and homemade sugar free pie filling. Very yummy.

Making Some Joanna Lund Recipes Today
Today was a cooking day for me to use some of my Joanna Lund Healthy Cookbooks.
I made some hearty chilli to put over steamed rice. Also made a delicious fruit pizza with homemade sugar free cherry pie filling. My cornmeal dill muffins were very good. All of these recipes were from Joanna's cookbooks. I have over 40 of her books in my collection that offer a wide variety of recipes.

New Start on my Weight Loss Plan After the Holidays
Seems like the holidays are my downfall as far as maintaining my weight. I guess I just can't resist all of the "goodies".
But, on January 1, I started on "One Meal a Day" or OMAD as it is called. I have lost weight doing this before and seems to be the easiest plan I have done so far. I am also counting calories to be sure that I stay in my calorie range. I am eating a wide range of foods. I make sure I get proteins, fruits, veggies and fats. I am not restricting anything just making sure it fits in my calorie range.
I have lost 9# since Tuesday, but am sure it is water weight; but I will take it as it needs to go, too.
