Fasting Fam, I should be making better progress than I have been and I know it’s because I overeat on both my up and down days. I’m not giving up! I love this way of eating (WOE) and I am still finding out what works and doesn’t work for me. To that end, I’m going […]
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 […]
Of course I’m fantasizing about Glorious Coffee and protein waffles for breakfast tomorrow, air fried cauliflower with hummus for lunch, pizza with Dad, and a freshly juiced carrot / ginger / turmeric juice for dessert. This week I have to break my ADF routine and make it a 4:3 week, for on Friday I’ll be […]
Mondays are great down days because work is always insanely busy on Monday. Today I wound up having: juice: dandelion greens, apple, ginger, fennel, celery. 239 calsskinless rotisserie chicken, plain 173 calsegg scramble: 2 eggs, 1/4 c egg whites, 2 oz diced ham, cheese slice 343 cals So yes, it was on the higher calorie […]
Fasting Fam, I had the worst night’s sleep ever. It’s 90 degrees here, I don’t have A/C, and my mind will not shut down / stop thinking about stressful family issues. I finally fell aasleep at 4am, only to be awoken by cats fighting or in heat at 5am. Sigh. I went to lunch with […]
Hi Fasting Family, and Happy Up Day to me! It’s been a decadent one and I’m already looking forward to tomorrow’s down day, though it could be tough because I’ll be traveling with a friend who is not at all dieting and in fact is pretty indulgent most of the time. Planning ahead is key […]
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. […]
When I go to bed fasted and at some level of hungry, I get so excited about eating the next day and dream of all the yummy noms I’ll get to have when I wake up. However, when morning comes that desire for food has more often than not vanished and food seems less interesting […]
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! 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 […]
