I'm so happy I didn't rage delete my weigh chart from 2017 because it gives me something to compare my 2019 chart to. Although I started about 3 weeks later in 2019, I'm actually ahead of my 7 week 2017 weight, which is pretty cool. However, it also made me get really upset at myself because I was only a few pounds away from many of you who stuck with it and could've very will been in 160s club if hadn't screwed it all up. Nothing I can do now except keep on trucking and not ever let myself blow it again and STAY with this group!

Also glad I did this new chart because I'm super happy that I maintained a 3.6 pound loss from my 5.1 pound lost from my 70 hour fast, I only regained 1.5 pounds of it. :-)

@mistymeadows2005 will do Sweet Lady!

Broke my clean fast on Friday around the 68 hour mark, I just grazed on low carb foods like olives, and nuts, and pork rinds, and more nuts, and more olives, oh... and possibly a small single serving jalapeño slim jim with a cheese stick in the pack (it had 100 calories and 1g carb, just to let you know the size I'm referring to). But, I could be remembering wrong. Who am I kidding? I'm not remembering wrong, I blame Stephanie for making me think of slim jims lololol @mistymeadows2005 And Saturday I was craving breakfast so I made scrambled eggs with jalapeños and cheese along side two hefty sausage patties, and half a bottle of Blueberry Kombucha. Later I ate a bag and half of spicy pork rinds for a snack before closing my window out. I know, I totally pigged out! haha

I really, really craved a completely "fried" meal today and my craving was satisfied. I made the green chips with a whole container of baby kale and smothered them with about 1 TBSP of extra virgin olive oil with garlic salt and red pepper and baked at 300 degrees for 20 minutes, they were nice and crispy! Avocado fries were made by dipping the slices into an egg and coating with spicy pork rinds and cooked in my air fryer for 8 minutes at 390 degrees. **I did not make the blueberry Kombucha, bought it** The dipping sauce tasted amazing with both the fries and the pork rind fried chicken! I'm now enjoying a nice cup of black coffee topped with a chocolate whipping cream I made with heavy whipping cream, cacao powder, and a drop of chocolate stevia!

Trying to use behavioral therapy for helping cure my insomnia and they recommend staying awake until the hours you wake. I couldn't stay awake until 1am, but I made it until 11 before taking a pill and heading to bed. Couldn't use my weighted blanket on anything but my legs. ****On Friday our youngest Boston Terrier was an A S S at the park and when I tried to chase him I slipped on leaves and landed on my whole front with zero "bracing" for the fall which resulted in two bruised ribs, scraped knees and elbows, and a very, very sore and puffy right arm. The blanket came yesterday but it hurt my arm and ribs too much--I've been icing my ribs off and on**** Anyway, I had a bit of trouble getting to sleep and woke up at 2am to pee, then slept until 5-5:15 am. Surprisingly I'm okay this afternoon, so far, because I've only been out of bed for about 7 hours verses 12-13. lol Tonight I'm going to try and make it until 12.

I'm not closing my eating window quite yet, I may have some nuts and a bullet proof coffee later, then I'll be doing an extended clean fast--just going to make it indefinitely and my body will let me know when to eat again. I'm hoping to make it for five days though. :-)

Have a great rest of your Sunday everyone!

GET IN MY BELLY!!!!



Saturday Breakfast

@LadyBlanks, @asgentr @volgirl1322 and @lilee2018 thanks for the well wishes! And food compliments.

@mistymeadows2005 it was nommy! Lol

I have some fantastic news... and it isn’t related to me in the least bit, adding to my day further down with asterisks. Another captain on my husband’s boat has the book, “The Complete Guide to Fasting: Heal Your Body Through Intermittent, Alternate-Day, and Extended Fasting”, by Dr. Jason Fung. Yet another Captain read the book, he has type 2 diabetes, and he started fasting with a mix of alternate day fasting protocols of 42 and 36 hour fasts, coupled with OMAD. He’s lost weight, but even better he hasn’t had to take an insulin shot the entire two weeks he’s been following the plan! Isn’t that freaking awesome?!!! He feels fantastic! I’m so happy for him! He’s been trying to get his wife on board as well because she has health issues as well as being overweight. He’s not even doing low carb/high healthy fats, he just eats whatever until satiated. Other guys on the boat are now onboard and even Donnie has dropped a lot of weight. No one knows how much though because the scale on the boat is messed up. Lots of guys on the boat doing IF, and my husband said it thanks to me because he told the guy that guy about me and that book and he went and bought it. Lol

**Only had about five hours of sleep last night. I woke around 3:40ish to pee and couldn’t get back to sleep. I went to bed shortly after ten but had trouble getting to sleep. This will be something where I have good days and bad, hopefully the good will become more frequent though! Lol

I didn’t so much as gain an ounce from my junior whopper and almost full original chicken sandwich, 1/2 the fries and a medium coke the other day. But, I didn’t lose the 2 pounds I gained from my low carb eating where I kind of went wildness Friday night, either. I need to remember that whole nuts are great for me, too many could add up to too many carbs. Lol. So, shall just stick to eating a serving verses going whole hog!

Anyway, have a great day lovely people!

@LiLee2018 thanks so much, I hope so too! And, yes, I have cut down on smoking in the meantime. I’m so happy for my husband’s crew who are seeing the benefits. I hope most will keep it up when they get home. My husband was only about 25-30 pounds overweight, and when he sent pictures his oblique muscles were showing and the “V”, so sexy. I can’t wait until he gets home! 😋😂
