Float away... There are times when its uuugh! All this water is too much, but its helping me so I gotta do it. My face complexion is clearer, and my nightly heartburn is nill. 💖Rebecca On OMAD and drinking 1/2 my body weight in Whidbey island💖

Well I have lost almost 5 lbs so far this month. Feeling good. Drinking 7 bottles of water ( 12 oz), a day. Finding my rhythm in all this. Getting my 1200 calories a day in, for the most part. Staying within my fats, and proteins, and limiting my carbs and sugar. I have noticed I am putting less sweetener in my coffee, and…

We taped it and watched it! I have to be honest, all the contestants were so, so, weird! It just seemed so scripted. And the host is odd too. Son got half way thru and said, " ok I am going to my side (of the house), I can't handle this show. Lego building is such a personal thing, I think for him. Watching others build…

Athena is wishing warmer weather! Raining the whole state of Washington! 💖Rebecca

Olivia cuteness!!!💖💖💖💖💖

Awe Katla, bonking menfolk sounds absolutely perfect! Its really nice to eat food that I totally love! When we're in the Mom phase we mostly eat what one kid wouldn't, or there's more of. My food desires went out the window! So now its empowering to eat what I like, and when I want to eat it! I still fix husband and son's…

Rained two days straight here on the island! Uck! Down a spits throw from 5 lbs! I can feel it just moving around. I shall get to Onederland, I can see it, sceptre in hand, a tiara on me head! Wait maybe that's Disneyland.. 😁😁. I have about 5 letters to reply to this afternoon, that should keep me busy! I'm making some…

She's 9 months old! Can babies go from crawling to walking before 12 months old? Crazy girl! 💖Rebecca

She got quite a pair of legs and booty! Gotta love a healthy pudgy girl.💖 💖Rebecca

Omgosh, just noticed her pretty front teeth!💖

Athena being her cute self.💖 I am enjoying this way of eating! Hugs ladies! 💖Rebecca

Luci in WNC, awe thank you. Its been surprisingly easy though! I like the fact that my meals are not diety feeling. Just good food. I am doing a intermittent fasting thing, something I thought I would never do, but here I am. I was doing a 18/6 meaning I fast from 6 pm to 12 noon the next day, and my eating window was 12…

Ooh today's meal is wild rice, spinach, wholly guacamole, roast chicken! Then my next snack is yogurt. Then finally at 2:30 I will have more guacamole, Triscuit crackers, and a container of applesauce. I will be happy lady! 💖Rebecca

Indeed NYKAREN, it was an experience I shall repeat once a month. Our pilgrimage to the ramen shop is such a treat with my eldest son! I takes me back to when I would take him to the ramen place at the end of the flightline on Atsugi base in Japan.💖. He was 3 and a great slurper! He is now 30 and though he eats a heck of a…

So today I ate from 12-:30/3:00! It was artisan hearty toast with wholly guacamole avocado cup spread on top, with hunks of herb buttered salmon that I cooked smooched in. Oh lawdy! I sipped my ramen soup, just about a cups worth, and sipped coffee! Then my one portion of Japanese black sesame crackers became 4 portions.…

Strange day! First exercise on an empty belly, no coffee! I did ok, weight machine work was fine, but 15 min into my treadmill I was "ok I am done" . I had salmon on avocado toast, with some ramen soup (soup only) from my trek with eldest son yesterday to our ramen place. I had the pork ramen, have son the larger piece of…

Texted my youngest Navy son last night.💖. He's doing well, and I went to bed with a happy fuzzy loved heart.💖. My husband bought me a rose yesterday when he was out and about. The whole house has a nice rose scent. I was kinda loopy yesterday first day of 18/6 IF. I even made brownies but only after making my meal. 💖Rebecca

Athena and her beautiful eyes!💖

Hmm still needs more work. I will use the modge podge over the sides of the picture of the happy nudist.👍

My salmon meal. I boiled my noodles, and used my screen that keeps bacon grease from splattering, and put that on top. Then I filled my steamer expandable bowl thingy with fresh spinach. By the time the noodles were done the spinach was too. Oh I also put a lid on the top of my spinach steamer contraption so it would stay…

Today was my first official day #1. I eat at 12 noon, 2 pm snack, 4 pm meal and 5 pm snack. I just want to be done eating before I have to cook my husband and son's meal. Today was a taco and coffee, applesauce, salmon with spinach and noodles, and finally mandarin oranges. I am feeling great so far! I am kind of nervous…

Thank you Barbie for starting us off on track. 💖 Goals for February! Log every day 1200 calories IF 18/6 One cup of glorious coffee at noon! 16 oz water 4 times a day at mealtimes 12/2/4 and 5 pm Persevere! Meal for today: Its spinach, cucumbers, cottage cheese, shiitake mushroom dressing, tomatoes, walnuts and wild rice.…

My picture, and my light switch that has kind of the same theme.👍 💖Rebecca

Tracy get ready to cry! Love that show and it always play a tune on my heart strings! 💖Rebecca

I used to buy a Danish product which were cubes of creamy blue cheese in a jar with a spicy olive oil mixture. Adding a couple to a salad or mixing with pasta was delightful. My favorite salad is cranberries, bits of blue cheese with almonds on a bed of spinach, and quinoa sprinkled about. Tastes are as individual as we…

Just did my weekly cry watching "This Is Us". Booohooo.💖 💖Rebecca

I will have to test that theory!👍

I used to think tomato sauce had a strong flavor too, but my daughter In law showed me a trick which was 1 can of favorite spaghetti sauce, 1 smaller can of plain tomato sauce, 1 little can of tomato paste, and 2 spoonfuls of brown sugar. The brown sugar really tones the acidic flavors. It tastes richer. I am sure other…

The only down side of my pretty envelopes is that they seem a bit heavier so I have to put two stamps on them. I don't go to the post office because they give me a hard time and such. Athena concentrating with one of son's toys.👍 Today I exercised but I felt "off" so didn't do full 30 minutes of walk. Just lightheaded.…
