Yes!!! That’s a great feeling when the # after the one goes down. My weight is so low compared to the rest of my adult life that I still cannot really believe it. Even tho I see it it’s is surreal. Like yes it says that but it’s not really real. It’s weird
I'll just take a seat here for a while

U GO! That is awesome and I’m proud of u. I don’t like traditional advice that says weigh only once a week.
I get on the scale almost daily. It used to be daily but I don’t weigh on the weekends anymore bc I don’t want to feel bad for eating and when the scale goes up I tend to beat myself up. Will be great when I stop doing that. I’m getting better with it all I think.
the scale is a great indicator of progress. If u ask me and u didn’t …the scale doesn’t lie. Unfortunately lol. It’s the ultimate truth serum. It gives unbiased un-fake news. The kind I like and the kind I don’t like. The scale doesn’t care if I had a stressful day and I binged. Or if I was so good on my fast and even skipped cream in my coffee which I never do. It just says a neutral #. I’m the one who attaches emotion to the #.
I fasted today so I’ll get on my scale tomorrow. No matter what it says I’m going to be happy. I’ve come a long way. Had a not great eating weekend. But that’s pretty normal for me these days and it’s ok. I want to enjoy weekends and eat. I’m just weighing to see how much damage I did. I think I’m up 3ish pounds.
Great job again. I might be shallow but I love a good scale victory! A new lower decade.

I linked another YouTube.
The rewired series has shorter videos - those are from Gaia too.
I’ll send some of those soon.
Good Morning everyone!
We are holding steady at 178. 36 hours to go!
Tummy got a bit acidy last night but feeling better today.
I’m excited about tasting things, yet not feeling hungry.
Bought myself some roses last night. Not sure what came over me.
Going on a hunt today for some ripe looking watermelon. Was in the store last night and they all looked too white. Would rather pass than eat flavorless watermelon.
Saw some of those chicken cordon Bleu on sale - BOGO. And then remembered how processed they taste and how I could make them better.
Lots of things in the store and so firm with myself on how much better they are when I make from scratch. It’s why it’s near impossible for me to eat out anymore.
It’s why I enjoy my dinner parties. I know nothing is processed. Or if it is, it’s the best of processed 
.
Lots more projects to attend to today.

Good Morning!
Fast ends this evening!
Arranged a movie night with the neighbor while I slowly refeed for a couple of hours. Going to prepare enough soup to get me through the next couple of days.
The wind here has been non stop. It’s drying up some of my plants. It’s supposed to go down by Friday.
Today I will be paying bills, making a new budget, and looking at getting a new video camera. Might be getting hooked up with going back into some wedding and event video.
Other than that it’s a nice calm here. Looking forward to some good excitement to come.

Good Morning!
Things tasted so flipping wonderful last night.
My broth soup was amazing. I made a huge batch and have more of that ready for this evening.
Have an oil change scheduled today.
Otherwise it is still super windy outside. Feeling kinda stuck.
Looking like indoor projects day after the oil change.

awesome. glad you got to refeed…so jealous of all of your made from scratch food.
how long did you fast for this time?
21 days. Broke my mental barrier.
I think for me though 3 weeks is enough.
May do one more of these before end of the year.
Refeed going very well. Still not ready for a cocktail. Maybe this weekend.
Have a turkey thawed in the fridge that I need to get brining or something to be smoked this weekend. Would love a Rachael Sandwich. Might be ready for bread and cheese by Sunday.
Otherwise, sticking to bone broth soup, my kimchi, avocado, veggies, watermelon, olives, etc. Staying away from bready carbs.

wow 21 days! that’s a long fast! longest i’ve done is 10 days.
what is a Rachael Sandwich?
smoking a turkey sounds amazing. never used a smoker before.
Great job on the fast! yas is starting a challenge on Monday for a 7 day fast…not sure if i’m doing it yet or not. I’m definitely aiming for 4 days Monday through Thursday.

A Rachael is a Reuben but with turkey.
Good morning!
Two weeks to Mexico!
Going fan shopping this morning.
That’s all I got. 
I hope you have a wonderful time in Cancun. I’m jealous. I tried to plan a trip there recently with my Mom, but she’s old enough I’m not comfortable letting her fly alone so I’d have to fly to her town first, then to Cancun. Flights from my area are reasonably priced with availability. Flights from her town are about 5x the price and everything is overbooked. It didn’t work out.
I’ve never vacationed there, only been there on brief layovers, but I know everyone loves it. My sister says it’s her favorite vacation ever and she’s been on a lot of elaborate trips.
And now I want a Reuben. Maybe just sauerkraut, swiss cheese, corned beef and a little homemade Russia dressing and skip the bread to keep it low carb. Later this week perhaps. I think I have recipes for Reuben Soup and a Reuben casserole.

Nothing else here to report - other than I need to be more mindful on the OMAD front.

Good Morning! Happy Day!
I got a bit schnockered the past couple of nights. I think it’s out of my system today as I can’t even think about getting ripped today. Too much to do.
Got a new video camera, need to bang out some laundry, ordering some video editing software, studying for my trip, etc.
This trip is something I would have never done or thought about doing a year ago. The complications of going to a different country are challenging enough - then toss a pandemic on top, lol.
Going to just go with the flow.
Had a few thoughts about just staying home and had to slap myself out of that. I want to look back on this trip when I’m 70 and say to myself I’m glad I didn’t stay home.
Apparently the pandemic is over in Florida. I was in the Walmart a couple of days ago and 75% of the people I passed are done with masks. I have to wonder if these people all got vaccinated or if they just said screw it. I have no desire to get vaccinated. I will need to be tested before my trip, and before I can come back into the US. So I will wear my mask when going out as I don’t need to be messing up my trip.
I did! And I now have a fan/light in the living room and in the kitchen! AND the one in the kitchen I put a bulb in that has a remote control and I can have a different light color. I like the teal at night.
