Hi friends! Bow Wow Days went real well, I'm super worn out. Rainbow: blueberries, jalapenos, olives, corn, tomatoes, basil, zucchini, cinnamon, ginger, lemon, tumeric
@morenin I'm so sorry to hear about your reaction at the restaurant that's awful!
@DrewsAnna I hope you feel better soon that sounds awful. Could it be from a medication? I had it pretty bad with an anti inflammatory it does feel a little like a gallstone. I hope you're able to enjoy the games too!
@micaroo4 Those are beautiful asters! I decided instead of a bath to do a little cleaning so I'd wake up with less of a mess, still have a long way to go but next week things will be slower.

Good morning Slims,
I've been doing Intermittent Fasting, which I've done before but never so consistently. It's been 3 weeks. I find that I have a lot more energy, plus I seem to have more time. If you take away the time spent preparing a meal, consuming the meal, and cleaning up after the meal, that is a little more time - but even more time seems to be available! I think it's because there's not the interruption of having to stop for a meal. So I'm getting a lot done, both at work and around the house. Part of that increased productivity is because I'm trying to keep busy to distract myself from feeling hungry, but truthfully I'm not that hungry. Any cravings have disappeared. I'm doing 16+ hours of fasting with an 8 hour eating window. I'm still eating the same amount of food (because I'm on maintenance), just within a shorter window of time. It means my meals are a little larger. I know it's not for everyone, but I feel fabulous. Of course, feeling great may also have more to do with sleeping better, which I attribute to the ashwagandha.

@micaroo4 Those New England Asters are so beautiful! We have purple Wisteria everywhere in the spring, and it’s considered an invasive weed, but I love it. We also have deer everywhere and a whole family that we see all the time behind our house. Maggie is not a fan of them.
I also do at least 16-hour fast and love it! Since I’m not in maintenance, I will try to throw in one 24-hour fast a week and go from dinner to dinner. I think Sundays are the best since I don’t work out. I’ll let you know tomorrow if I make it through today. 
Good morning! Yesterday, I kept my word and had zero snacking between meals. It’s so easy to let stuff creep back in, and I’m sick of it! I listened to a podcast yesterday where Jason Seib talked about how crazy it is for a person to want something so badly, decide to go get it, and then quit doing the things that will get them what they want, only to cry about how bad they want the “thing.” And so many of us wanting to get healthy and fit do this over and over and over again! Ugh!!
So, this week is a rededication to my health goals and a renewed determination to STOP letting myself down! Y’all have a blessed day.

@trooworld - Thanks!
@TeresaW2024 - Use the clock to your advantage, just like when fasting. I allow myself 30 minutes to eat my meal, then plan on walking at least 10 minutes within 30-60 minutes of eating (to flatten the blood sugar spike), and schedule my next feeding for 3-4 hours later. In between, I don't even consider a snack, because it's not time to eat.
