Fasting Fam, today was a scheduled down day but I had a 40th class reunion planning party to go to and I wasn’t going to pass up a veggie mezza from my favorite Lebanese place and good times. Luckily, fasting is a WOE where you can be flexible and this week will just have to […]
Fasting Fam I was able to truly enjoy and savor all of my food today and I’m again pleased with my intake. One thing I made for the first time tonite for dinner that I’ll definitely be doing again is making meatball subs with hot dog buns! I just used Walmart’s frozen meatballs with a […]
Mondays are great down days because work is always insanely busy on Monday.

Thanks to all the back and forth tedious planning prior to my beach getaway, I packed appropriately, and stuck to my down days while on vacation, one of which is today. I took tomorrow off work to reassimilate back into city life, and it will of course be an up day. I have a grocery […]
Hi Fasting Fam! The scale was kind to me this morning after an up day and today’s modified fast day went well. I thoroughly enjoyed the hot lemon pepper rotisserie chicken that came in my grocery delivery for meal 1, and meal 2 was the usual egg scramble with a cheese slice and some ham. […]

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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
