What's on your Photo Friday Menu, RNYers

Kat you have done AMAZING on this AMAW challenge!  I totally look up to you! I am so trilled that this worked for you, yay on the 2 lbs loss!!  There are a few of us that pretty much eat AMAW regularly (aside from the Meat King) so like you I am also going to stick pretty close to it as well, it works on so many levels for me.  I also didn't have a problem in the bathroom area, glad you had that covered.

Now let's talk about this gorgeous young lady in this pic!! WOW I must say I have not seen a picture of you before, just your avatar and that does not due you justice to how tiny and beautiful you are!  And I am jealous, LOVE YOUR BLOUSE!  

Not that I need to tell you but keep up the great work, you really help a lot of the newbies and I want to thank you for that!! 

Thank you.  

Hi Grim, thanks for starting the post!  You and JB look amazing!  JB you are gorgeous!  I agree hard to beat awesome company, a walk and STEAK!

Soooo I have been sick with a stomach bug since Wednesday night.  While I was out at the retirement party after work on Wednesday I started to feel dizzy, light-headed and sick to my stomach.  I got home about 10pm and was really nauseous!  I had a glass of water & a Tylenol and went right to bed. I got up at 5am next day and almost fainted, tried to have a shower and ended up yelling for my husband to help me back to bed I was so sick.  I literally spent all day yesterday in bed, taking chewable Gravol.  I ate nothing yesterday (please don't kick me out of AMAW!)  I came into work today as I have two project due today and I had to be here, but I am going to leave early.  I don't think I will be eating much today, but I made a lunch & a snack in case, I am still sick and ache all over but I am still going strong on AMAW LOL LOL

QOTD: 

Thoughts on meat week - personally I loved it.  It wasn't a huge change for me, I just took out veggies & cheese and my protein hot chocolate and replaced those with larger portions of meat.  

Have I learned anything new about my diet that is helpful:  Well cutting out veggies & cheese and hot chocolate I lost 2.5 lbs (also didn't eat yesterday due to being sick so it could be that too).  I found that I wanted a "crunch" in my daily menu.  I would often have laughing cow cheese and red pepper strips in the evening and that satisfied my "crunch" I missed that.  But I did find it super easy to follow and would do this again no problem.  I usually eat 3.5 or 4 oz of meat with veggies, I went up to 5oz of chicken and 6oz of turkey and I was full for hours and hours and hours.  I think if I stayed with pure protein at those ounces (5 or 6 all the time) I would only need two meals a day (lunch & dinner) and maybe one snack.  I don't plan on totally abandoning this after today but I might add back in my evening snack as cheese & veggies.

I hope everyone enjoyed this AMAW as much as I did.  Now we get to sit on pins & needles to see who Meat King chooses as his Meat Queen!

Feel Better! That stinks.

I enjoyed Meat Week too, and learned a lot as well... Would do again for sure!

Daisy, I'm so sorry you've been under the weather! Feel better soon.

I agree with you, meat really keeps me satisfied for a long time, and I end up less likely to graze, or want to graze. That's the magic of meat.

Oh no, being sick just plain ol' sucks!!

Hope you feel better soon!

Oh no Daisy...I am so sorry you got sick. Sending healing hugs your way and hope you feel better soon!

Daisy, hope you're back to 100% soon!  I agree with you, the one thing I missed during meat week was crunch.  I don't eat a lot of veggies, but it's nice to have the texture change.  I would likely do meat week again, but a modified version and add in my yogurt on extra heavy exercise days

Feel better, Daisy! You are still Queen of AMAW to me!
