Check In

Personal training sessions have been going really well. I haven't lost any weight but I feel stronger and my body is less in my way during yoga.

Last week I said to Jeremiah, "I am fine with what I am, I just don't know WHEN to eat, especially in relation to my workouts!" This was apparently a really good question! He told me about intermittent fasting which is eating normally eight hours of the day, and then fasting for 16. I did a bit of research about it and asked around. It turns out lots of people I know do this sort of dieting!

Yesterday was the first day of my fast. I'm eating normally from 7:30 - 3:30 so that's breakfast, lunch, and maybe a snack. For now, I'm only going to do it during the week because I think weekends are going to be too hard to coordinate. The set schedule of the work week is much easier. Jeremiah said that going on and off this eating regimen is not a big deal and you don't need to be super strict about it to have results.

This morning when I woke up I felt like a garbage person but I think that has more to do with how I slept than how I ate. Once I got woken up, I felt better and I was actually already down a pound.

The difficult thing will be making sure I bring enough food for lunch. That actually takes planning and effort. I'm optimistic!
