Fasting Fam, this week at work has been bananas! For 2 of the days I was at a team offsite and indulged quite a bit on the company dime. I enjoyed the 800 or so down day after that, and yesterday, Friday, had an up day. I should be fasting today but I just can’t […]
Fasting Fam it’s been two days of in person team building for work, complete with lots of restaurant food and drinks, and this introvert is exhausted. I managed to get out of the happy hour and fancy dinner tonite and am home at last. I slept poorly last night and kept getting leg cramp twinges […]
Fasting Fam, after all of the planning I did for the week, I learned today that our team outing will cover two days instead of one, starting tomorrow, which would normally be a fast day. Oy.. but these things happen, and I’m not going to deprive myself of this twice a year day of drinking, […]
Hi Fasting Fam! It felt so great to sleep in today. My package from Harmony House arrived and these soups look incredible! They are in general 50 calories per serving but a few are 30 calories and one so far is 60 calories. Regardless, these are a down day game changer and I look forward […]
Good morning, Fasting Fam! I weighed in at 219 this morning (started this journey at 224) With consistency I expect to be back in Onederland by the end of May. Yesterday the Harmony House dehydrated vegetable soup mix arrived and I enjoyed some after my dance workout last night. I didn’t realize it came unseasoned […]
Hi, Fasting Fam! Work is crazy busy right now, which has really helped move this down day along. I’ve been nibbling on chopped cucumber and celery to get me through the hunger pangs. For lunch I tried a new to me frozen dinner that has 31 grams of protein, 460 calories, and it was VERY […]
Hi Fasting Fam! I’m 2 lbs up from my weigh-in before vacation and I’m good with it, as I had 5 indulgent eat days in a row and this is to be expected. And not to get too graphic here, but when I weighed myself this morning I hadn’t done #2 yet so this number […]
Fasting Fam it feels good to be fasting again after all the heavy food and alcohol over the past 5 days. I did get up to 223 this morning but I know that after a couple of fast days I’ll be back to where I was. Consistency is key and where I tend to fail […]
Well Fasting Fam, much of my hard work was undone during my beach getaway, and I’m finishing up vacation food and and reminiscing in leftover beer today. I wish I were still at the beach with my long distance boyfriend and am feeling all the bittersweet feels and don’t want to let this time slip […]
Hi Fasting Fam! I weighed in at 217 after yesterday’s down day, yay! When I started modified ADF a week and a half ago I was at 221. Tomorrow is pizza night with Dad so I’ll have to limit myself to cucumber and celery until dinner where I’ll have around 1000 calories, and then on […]
Hi Fasting Fam! Today is my 58th birthday, and it was a day like any other. It was sunny and beautiful outside and my workout partner and I hiked up Mt. Tabor after work, and that was truly magical. My first down day meal of the day was delicious: My next fast day meal, as […]
Good Evening, Fasting Fam! I walked at lunch and earned 261 extra calories, and wish I had more! I’m 101 calories over the 1757 total I had set for myself yesterday (the midpoint number between my TDEE and BMR) but I’m not too worried about it. I only had around 1300 calories yesterday so I’m […]
Stoner Fam, I decided to change my blog from a cannabis enthusiast blog to a fasting blog since I’ve resumed alternate day fasting, but never fear, I’m still a happy stoner and will be enjoying cannabis on my eat/up days and will comment on those experiences, too. Thanks so much for sticking around with me […]
