We look forward to seeing you twice a day!
I'll just take a seat here for a while

I got sucked into the news last night. Going to cancel the cable subscription today.
I would love a cup of coffee with cream and I would love to say no and just fast today.
Had no phone signal the past 3 days.
I should probably go back to bed and start over again in a better mood

Even us up here north of the border got a bit sucked in yesterday. It was a bit like watching a train wreck…
I, too, am having a bit of trouble getting this fast started. Our daughter is here for a couple of weeks and it’s really thrown me off my stride. I know - excuses, excuses.
Hope things look better for you on your second waking

Forgot to check in yesterday.
Nothing eventful other than doing laundry.
Got some paint yesterday and going to paint shelves today. Just waiting for the sun to come up to start as I have to do it outside.
It was close to OMAD yesterday. Now if I can get my portions under control and fast days in order I’ll be ok.
This was so much easier before the holidays hit. Feel like I took a wrong turn somewhere.
I did happen to get a roll of food saver bags and should probably make good use of them. We are smoking a pork picnic roast today and there will be lots left over. I I have 4 ripe avocados to freeze up.
I will get back on track!

@Kristy I’m still here. I’m OK.
Today I’m having my morning coffee, finishing off the cream in the fridge, and the fasting is back on.
I have to keep my ass out of facebook
I got an account on mewe.
I had content edited/removed over the past few months and I’m over the censorship and fact checking going on - and last night seeing difference of opinion between some extended family members was a bit tense.
I have a better grip on things this morning.
I made no progress yesterday but that is changing today.

Just when we believed 2021 was going to get better for our Country… January has smacked us upside the head!!
Crazy Town.
I have been REALLY limiting my time from the internet and DEF the news. Whatever is going to be… will be and I’ll keep watching mindless TV and finding projects for my downtime.
hows your overall plan and personal goals going, miramar?
Anyone heard from @Stacia She’s been MIA for TOO long…

Working on it today - the plan.
I have 2 checks that need to go to the bank, so I’m about to take care of that first.
Did manage to fill up gas tank yesterday.
And yeah, while I want to be up to date and informed on what is going on I am turning everything off.

Here’s the new plan. This should keep me busy for a bit.
I had 3 cups of coffee this morning, but just managed to finish my first official bottle and have 99 to go.

Finally! Got through from noon to end of day and just water.
What a mind flip. Instead of looking at what time it is I simply am looking at how many bottles I have to go.
Crashing shortly as I’m already feeling a lack of sugar headache.
Killing FB today definitely helped.
See yall tomorrow!

Good morning!
My foot is firmly in the door!
No cravings. No cocktails. No coffee.
Feeling very full in my belly. I’m definitely fattened back up.
It’s supposed to be in the 70’s this week. I hope so. I am feeling cold already. This is what I enjoyed about fasting last summer. It was nice and hot outside.
Longer term plans formulating in my head. Need to block out the holiday events on the calendar.

Well past the 24 hour mark.
A bit of a headache but otherwise all is well.
I did watch some news today - couldn’t help myself. But there is major turmoil brewing and I need to be aware of what’s going on.
Watching mindless TV now and plotting my plans for tomorrow.

Good Morning!
Quick check in before I drive out for some water and other errands.
I was looking into some cooking things last night - I boiled some smoked pork picnic bones for broth last night. I came across in some silly manner thinking about getting a sous vide and wound up ordering one this morning.
I think I like how I’ll be able to use my new vacuum sealer and play with some sous vide cooking.
Also came across some evil cheesecake recipes using sous vide and my canning jars.
I want to experiment in the future with making my own bitters as well. I’d love to figure out the red bull flavor.
Ok, be back with a water update later in the 100 challenge.

As a professional chef we use the sous vide for EVERYTHING- if you ever want any tips or tricks lemme know!

Good Morning!
Tried a new truffle slicer last night for making some paper thin ginger and garlic. A butter knife would have been sharper. I want to make some pickled ginger. Will need to wait a bit longer.
Anyway, amazon return happening today. And then a trip to the storage unit for some shuffling around.
Also been waiting for paperwork for some old inheritance funds. A small policy that was overlooked by my brother, then my siblings both passed so it’s up to me to get it. I have to do a re-submit of the paperwork.
Then a friend passed by last night who is having a melt down of getting some photos and a picture board together for one of her friends passing. So tonight I’ll be at her place helping her sort it all out.
On the flip side it’s still quite cool outside and I’d love nothing better than to curl up in bed and just stay warm and sleep all day.
I have enough busy work to keep me busy fasting for the next year.
Starting to feel some bloat relief today. My hormones have definitely been reeking havoc. I shaved my legs just over a week ago and the hair grew back like wild fire. And those wiley facial strays were popping up too - but those have calmed down. I think it’s a residual PMS thing as my cycle hasn’t happened in months now.

Still at the house. Had a friend call to make.
And then realized I am going to have a lot of pickles as I have some emergency pickle juice on hand and just felt bad tossing all the pickles.
Realized I could freeze them - or better yet dehydrate them!
And then use them to grind down and make pickle powder.
Tack on another things to do today list.

Ugh, one end tied up today. The funds I thought I could retrieve are such a mess to get to it would cost me more money to get them AND they would have been divided up as well with my deceased siblings estate accounts.
There goes my plans.
Anyway, going to focus on the universe sending it in another form or from somewhere else.

Got the pickle juice strained, Got the whole jar of pickles sliced and into the dehydrator.
I got the claussen - it’s a giant jar I’d picked up at Sams club for about 5 bucks. There’s a lot of shots of juice! No sugar.
Went to help a friend get some photos organized.

Finally got my ass out of bed.
It’s so cool out and I just felt like in a warm cocoon under the blanket.
I had the dreaded “I ate something and broke the fast” dream again last night.
I did feel better when I woke up and can feel the belly finally starting to go back down.
I’m getting excited to get slim again. Excited about how I feel in my body when it’s not lugging excess fat around.
I’ve almost convinced myself into doing some exercise just to firm and build up the muscles which will burn more calories.
Almost…
Just about to finish bottle 22 on my 100 bottle challenge. Why is my water intake slowing down so much? I wish it was hot out. I think the cold weather is what’s messing me up.
I have a bad knee that’s been a bit achy in this weather as well.
I’m in shock and awe at how I’m not having any food craving issues. Like my body knows it’s got plenty of fat to burn. My body is wanting to feel slim.
