F'ing my way to losing! (Fasting)
Apr 26, 2013
I think I am on week 4 or 5 of doing the intermittent fasting (IF). My eating window is between 3pm and 9pm Monday through Friday. I eat whenever I want on the weekends, and pretty much have been eating very lax on the weekends, too.
What I have noticed is that my sleeve seems to have shrunk a bit, my blood sugar numbers are great and I am actually seeing a drop on the scale again! I have lost about 7 pounds this month, and for ME that is stupendous!!
I weighed in at 173.4 this morning!
I want to be down in the low 160's by June 21st, when I see Dr. Acosta again. I think that is totally doable!
I have also been trying to stick to primal eating, and during the week, I do pretty well. I have a few snacks or hiccups that don't exactly fit in to primal eating, especially on the weekends, but for the most part I am doing well. I really think the weight loss has more to do with IF, but unless I stopped doing it, I wouldn't know for sure. I don't want to stop.
I have been lax about getting my exercise in. I need to get back in to the habit. I think that will accelerate the weight loss even more. After almost a year of not working hard at my weight loss, this feels wonderful!
We are having friends over for dinner tomorrow. I plan on grilling up some fish for fish tacos. Yum!! Hope everyone has a great and safe weekend!
