The lecture/show was fabulous, by
Richard Turner, the blind card mechanic. It was free but still one of the best things I've seen recently.
The dinner was good -- high quality ingredients, good service, nice ambiance, but not exciting lol. I ended up passing on the soup because it was chili soup, and I've had home-made chili recently. But the mignon was perfectly prepared and served with asparagus and butternut squash, all generous portions. The Cesar salad was presented somewhat unusually -- inner hearts of romaine kept intact. I had a hard cider which was pretty good (I don't drink much and don't like beer or wine, except very sweet ones). Hubby and I split a lava cake with ice cream on the side for dessert with the thought that we'd get a second if either of us wanted more, but we were both satisfied. =)
Today we are planning meat sauce on spaghetti squash for dinner. I'm glad I had the mignon because I haven't had one in years, but I will probably think tonight's meat sauce is tastier!
I am glad your doctors are receptive to OMAD. I haven't had a checkup recently, and I should probably put that on my todo list. I will mention OMAD to him; it might help spread the word just a little. I understand what you are saying about feeling like you are in the honeymoon stage, and I also couldn't believe it would really last, but so far, so good!
BTW, I have a Muslim friend who fasts for Ramadan. She was saying how she has always noticed how her hunger decreases over the month and she is more satisfied with a small meal at the end of the month than she is the rest of the year. Though that approach might not be ideal-- they refrain even from drinking water and maybe it would be better to eat earlier in the day -- there must be a wealth of information available from millions of people who fast that way yearly.
