SUPER GREAT!! Love it, that's going to be my "saying" today!

Happy Friday OH peeps!!! AV you have a super busy weekend! A new job? Waffles, god I miss waffles!! Meatloaf, god I love meatloaf, I might have to make some this weekend you are such an awesome Mama!! AV in regards to the Miralax/bathroom issues, I swear to god if you cook up a pound of bacon and eat 4 slices a day like I did you will have no problems with the bathroom!!!!

I almost fell off the AMAW wagon last night! I was tired, had a headache, grumpy and I wanted POPCORN! But I got up walked into the kitchen, opened up my bacon container stash and stood in front of the kitchen sink eating bacon! Well sure enough it filled me up and the craving went away. Its a win but I hate that my mind went right to the comfy carbs, you all know the kinds... chips, cookies, crackers, cereal, popcorn etc etc. SUPER GREAT!

QOTD: hubby and I are going out on Saturday night to this awesome steak place for dinner to celebrate our 16th year anniversary. Our actual anniversary was August 15th but we have been so busy that we are celebrating on Saturday. It will be filet mignon and lobster all the way... SUPER GREAT! And then just the usual weekend errands, laundry, hike the dogs. OH and I will be going through all this weeks posts to pick an AMAW & AMAW-C King & Queen!! Got my work cut out for me you all have done SUPER GREAT (yup killing it cuz I love it)!!!

Daisy's AMAW musings: I am down another 1.6 pounds today for a total loss of 4.5 for the week. Dense protein is just that "dense", it is so filling and I was not hungry, had no cravings. I was a lot more thirsty and I drank a lot more so that is good for me as I struggle getting "tons" of liquids in. With all the extra fat I am eating this week I actually didn't need Miralax, the fat took care of going to the bathroom, that was a welcome change/difference. My husband did AMAW with me too, he dropped 3 lbs this week as well! I think I could eat this way easy for breakfast, lunch and an afternoon snack but for dinner I want a veggie, I miss veggies. I don't eat fruit, I could care less about fruit, but I do love veggies & salad. It was very successful for me and I hope it was for you all too. I hope that those of you who needed a "reset" or to get off your XXXX (pick your food that you struggle with) that this proves you can for a week eat very high protein, lose a few pounds and have some fun with your fellow OHers.

Thanks to everyone who took the time to post daily, put up pics daily and share your menu's and thoughts. It means a lot to me that we all support one another and AMAW just seems like a great fun way to collaborate as we all are here for the same reason. I luv ya all and thank you for having fun this week with me!!!

PICS: the first one is an FB memory that popped up today and for those of you who have a warped sense of humor like me should be dying laughing like I was after seeing this! Second pic is dinner last night I grilled up salmon filets and chicken sausages, last pic is today's eats: tuna, chicken sausages, bacon and vermont pork sticks. Dinner is at our fav diner tonight, having chicken!!
