No April Fool

Apr 02, 2013

Checking in!  I am still working on my second job of taking care of me.  I am get better at it, have a few hiccups here and there, but it's a long-term thing.  This is not a seasonal job. 

My scale is up a bit.  Partly with my eating over the weekend, and partly because I know my period will be here any time now.  I weighed in at 180.2 this morning.  I am not worried about it, as I am pretty much doing what I should be doing.  I took some time off over the weekend.  That's okay.  Life happens. 

We celebrated the fact that we are totally moved out of the old house and gave the keys back.  We left it in better shape than it was when we moved in, so I was relieved to finally be done with that.  It was a great weekend and we got a lot accomplished. 

So, for the most part, I am trying to stick to the Primal form of eating.  I am trying to stay away from highly processed anything, even if it is supposedly "healthy".  I also am trying to avoid sugar and grains like the plague.  The exceptions I am allowing myself are the gluten-free crackers I have and homemade popcorn. 

This week, I am also throwing in some intermittent fasting.  My son did this last year and had great success with it.  Some of the "Primal" folks were also getting in to it.  So, my eating window each day is from 3pm to 9pm.  Yesterday, was my first day trying this.  I do have coffee and sf-drinks throughout the day.  It's an experiment.  I can guarantee that if I didn't have my sleeve to help fight back hunger, this would have been nearly impossible for me.  Luckily, I have a tool built for this! ha ha

I also got my lazy butt out yesterday and did my 3 mile walk at lunchtime.  It was so gorgeous outside, I was so happy that I went.  Ahhhhhh, feels good to have a plan feel back in control again.  Hope everyone has a great week!!
