So far, I appreciate the freedom to not think too much about what I can or cannot eat. It’s easier to just not eat. Slache, I am starving in the morning, but I can fall asleep hungry. DH thinks I’m nuts too: he eats from noon to eight. Yeah, no. 3 minutes ago, Junie said: When I tried it before I read somewhere that some women do better with an extra hour -- so I took it. 🙂 My time is similar to Slache's -- 12:30 to 9:30. I've read we should only fast for 14. I sometimes default to that. I did 3 days once. I was fine at the time but was hungry every morning for 2 weeks afterward and therefore it wasn't worth it to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Matt says I can't be hospitalized any more. Every time I've gone to the ER this year it's resembled something serious and then been nothing. Can't breathe, blood pressure going insane, seizures, bleeding TO DEATH. But nothing was ever actually wrong. I'm just a good faker.

Susan in TN Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) The thing that I really didn't like about intermittent fasting when I was doing it, is that I couldn't eat breakfast AND dinner with my family, which is how we normally eat. I did one or the other anyway, but I didn't like it. Though I guess with the way I eat now, I'm "fasting" 12-13 hours between dinner and breakfast. Or I *was*. Now I usually have a snack of some kind after dinner. Edited August 13, 2020 by Susan in TN 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 1 minute ago, Spudater said: I guess my strategy will be five servings of veg a day, no sweets, eat between 10am and 7pm. Add in three strength training half hours a week to the 4-5 walks scheduled Hopefully that will be enough. The thing about losing weight slowly is with water fluctuations you often can only tell it's working after at least a month. That sounds really good. Are there "sweet treats" that you can have on hand for times that you are struggling? Like stevia sweetened or something? I usually keep Lily's chocolate bars, some stevia-sweetened chocolate cranberry muffins (I do not have to eat gf, so I use Kodiak mix), and/or some Halo or Aldi-brand protein ice cream so I can have a treat when I want one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I should be trying IF this summer. I need caffeine to get going but can't drink tea on an empty stomach without feeling nauseous so had to eat breakfast before I was teaching classes. Since I'm not teaching all summer, this would have been the perfect time. Dinner is too late some nights since dd is at TKD until 7pm and we eat after. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I don't do portions, I do percentage and eat until I'm full. Lunch is 100% veggies, dinner is 50% veggies, 50% meat. I don't count fats or fruits. Fats are naturally occurring in healthy quantities and I just don't eat fruit. I have some recipes that call for apple or whatnot, but I don't eat fruit just to eat them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew Slache was going to get the Booya. Slache- praying for you. EdPo's: I listed my MBtP 8-10 set on eBay today. I even got a nibble, but she didn't purchase. Oh well- we aren't quite done with it anyway. I decided we need to focus on writing now that I have a good math resource I am happy with. (Though daily The Girl keeps asking to go back Saxon. She thinks MiF has too many problems.) I need a writing program that will take the kids from writing good sentences through to essays. I've narrowed it down to IEW or EIW because I am tired of trying to do this on my own. But ASD Boy won't watch videos. He is doing very well with just doing math and one other subject a day so maybe he will be compliant? We are almost done with our literature book so I am debating between letting them pick the next one or doing Trojan War using MP's guide. Thing is, they hate those things, and truthfully, so do I. The questions are so highbrow. Maybe a Veritas Press guide, then? Or Kolbe set? I wish I could download one to try. They also want to study the Middle Ages but not using SOTW or History Ody.. I'm so lame that I can't pull a bunch of stuff together. Give me a curriculum and I can use it. I'm also debating MP JrK 2 day regular or Charter, or JrK 5 day, or going the SC route. If we start with Charter, I kinda think we have to stick with it. Anyway just thinking online here. And posting this so my machine doesn't erase it again! I can lend you TWSS and Teaching The Classics if you want. Classical Academic Press comes to mind. Samples are generous. English Lessons Through Literature?

Susan in TN Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Good morning! I slept from about 11:30 to 6:00! Puppy was quiet all night! Baby wipes aren't a huge issue, except when I am trying to clean around his eyes. He took a small bite and swallowed it - he usually spits out the stupid stuff he puts in his mouth like leaves and twigs. There is still a crusty lump stuck to his fur below his eye and I'm afraid I will poke his eye out because he is so Wiggly! I am happy to hear advice for anything, as a strong supporter of the "throw it out and see what sticks" method of everything. Weekend plans are to help dds11&14 with their Zoom orchestra auditions and help dd22 pack to move back into the dorms. Zoom auditions are more complicated than I expected. We have to provide a youtube link with their solo piece and they have to announce name, age, music, composer, etc., and I am expecting them to turn out a little like that funny Liberty Mutual commercial.

And today is the deadline here, but they're only doing 3 week long ensemble projects here for fall (if they get to do that) and will announce a later date for auditions for seating the full orchestras for spring semester (assuming they get to do that).

I'm guessing I should send it certified this year - there might be a higher volume than normal this year - I would hate for it to get lost in the shuffle and have to go to jail. 😜 Hugs to people who are tougher than me and have to deal with coyotes. We hear them sometimes at night and that is bad enough. Hugs to Susan who has accomplished two audition videos and has two more to go???!!!! The idea of one seemed pretty stressful to me. I made pancakes for lunch. And had Mozart Horn Concerto No. 3 playing in the back ground the whole time. No one complained. Itired. Also doing laundry - several more Mt. Washmores piled up near the washer and more upstairs in my bathroom. Also, need to make cupcakes for oldest to take back with him to college tomorrow.
