Good morning everybody.

Looks like we have a new photo on our banner! Congrats @mamainthekitchen that is a beauty.

Hope everybody is doing well. We got around 8 inches of snow here last night. Next few days are supposed to be very cold too. So not a lot of melting happening. Sigh... It is what it is.

Have a great day all. See you soon.

Good morning all.

Hi @orlcam! Thanks for updating our banner photo recently! Good seeing you.
Thanks for the article. Will definitely check it out. I am a true believer in Intermittent Fasting.

I officially restarted yesterday. Hopped on the scale, updated my weight, and had a very good 500~ calorie "fast day" for the first time in a very long time. Feels good to be on track. Planning on a normal day today, within a good calorie range and a second fast on Thursday. Planning to get back to the gym tonight too. Been too long.

See you guys soon. Have a great day.

@Meghan509 I am glad you did so well! It is inspiring!

@orlcam Thanks for the article. I will take a better look at it later.

@mamainthekitchen I hope you are doing well, too!

Tomorrow (Wed.) is the big interview day. Today wasn't a fast day, but was very reasonable. I can't eat dinner because of nerves and I will fast until lunch tomorrow which will be small. And then I have no idea what dinner will be. Either a double pint of ice cream because I didn't get an offer, or a celebration that I did. Prayers would be appreciated! Have a great day!

Good morning all.

Thanks @KateNkognito I did really well yesterday. No slip ups. Stuck right to my calorie goal. Even felt fine and like the world wasn't coming to an end, when I didn't eat anything sweet after dinner. LOL
Good luck on Wednesday (today), with your interview. You got this!! Sending positive thoughts and vibes your way - absolutely!!

Rolling along here. Really, super duper cold here - like lows in the teens (Fahrenheit) at night. Makes it an ice rink out there. Good times... Regular day today as far as eating goes. Goal is to drink more water as well as my herbal teas throughout the day.

Have a great day! See you soon.

It went well today! I didn't get a direct job offer, but three schools were very interested.
Way to go Meghan! I fasted completely for almost 24 hours and then had a sensible dinner.

Good morning.

Great news, @KateNkognito! Definitely sounds positive!!

Thanks. Still going strong here. Had a great regular day yesterday. Today is a fast day. Got my lunch with me and a small tangerine, otherwise that's all she wrote until dinner time! Planning to drink a lot of water and herbal tea today. First weigh in tomorrow AM.

Have a good one and chat with you all soon.

Good morning all.

Hey, guess who lost 4.4 lbs this week!? Meeeeee! Woo hoo! Feels great to be back on track. Yep, I know a good amount of that was water but still feeling good and like I can once and for all ditch these pounds I have gained. Get back to swimsuit ready for summer.

Going to have dinner with family this weekend. Otherwise low key around here. It is finally supposed to get a little warmer here. Last night in to this morning had dipped to around 18 degrees F. Supposed to be 30's today and close to 50 tomorrow. Thank God. Daylight Savings Time starts on Sunday or Saturday before we go to sleep. Spring is around the corner!

Have a good one and see you soon.

@Meghan509 WOO HOO! Good for you! That is awesome! And inspiring!

Well, I ended up fasting a bit longer... I got a stomach bug Wednesday night! So, from Tuesday evening to this morning (Saturday), I have had about one day's worth of calories. I actually feel really good. As awful as being sick was , it really gave me a nice reset. This week is Spring Break, so I can get caught up and rest for the last push.

The weather has turned around and I am going to be able to air out the house today. I haven't even touched any homework this week... YIKES! So, I am off and running! Have a great weekend!
