Up early & already back from spin class. Our auto incidents continue so have windshields being replaced on 2 cars this morning... bet you're glad you're not our insurance agent!
All good on the home front this morning, so no venting required. I missed DH's phone call (he's on the road to upstate NY), so no chance for him to vent to me either... and contrary to what you may thing, I didn't miss his call intentionally... I just didn't get to it in time... and I tried to call him back... twice... really!
I'm home bound this morning at the mercy of the windshield repairman, but have a massage this afternoon & dinner with a girlfriend tonight... ok,ok, I do have the best life & I am truly grateful! I do have a lot of book work for BIL's business that being home bound will give me the time to do & then I'm meeting his wife at the business tomorrow to go over things there. In BIL's recent state, he let a lot of things go which hopefully she & I can take care of together.
My IF gluten, lactose & sugar aware WOE is going well. I'm continuing on the 6-8 hour window of eating, usually doing so starting at noon. I'm amazed that its working as I had always been a big, early breakfast eater. But I will say since focusing on a more paleo/primal WOE & having to make eggs for breakfast rather than my oatmeal or yogurt staples, breakfast has become less attractive to me -- remember I'm the one who hates to cook, which is a negative for my family but can be a plus at times for staying my course (my family may say for theirs too considering some of the things I'm made over the years)! I'm toying again with logging my food as well just to see where I'm at with this new plan... time will tell if I keep it up.
Now, its time to get to journals & then to work, but first I'll pray --
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
And throughout this one day and each one meal, moment, bite & emotion, I'l continue praying, breathing, logging, posting & expressing my way. I'm so grateful today for each of wonderful you, my family & IRL friends, my massage that I'm so looking forward to, & that I have the health & wealth to live this life I love. xoxox

Hey, glad you are enjoying the IF and the 'eating window'. I meant to comment on your building your lifestyle analgy yesterday when you said you are now adding windows. Very clever girl! But I am glad it is working for you. Yes, breakfast for low carbers/ paleo/primal is a bit of a pain. No quick cereal, toast, yogurt, etc. And we don't always have time to cook eggs, bacon, whatever. So having no breakfast works for those of us who have to go to work out of the home. I did have some yogurt this morning because I was hungry. I like the flexibility - heck, I'm an adult and can eat when I want, right? But I do love the fasting. I can't believe it. I think I like it too much sometimes. I could easily be under 1000 calories a day if I wasn't careful. But at that level of calorie I don't lose. So I am trying to eat at least 1200 or thereabouts. I seem to lose at that level. You sound so positive. Glad you missed DH's phone call, and yes I know it wasn't on purpose :) Enjoy your day at home, even though it sounds as though it will be busy. I love working from home when I get the chance, though I truly don't do much work. I prefer to spend time with my beautiful old cat, a good book and a good pot of coffee :) Okay, enough blah, blah. Have an awesome day. So good to 'see' you this morning. Love ya xxxxxx

Good to see you too, Is, & share our morning brew... love that I was replying to your journal while you were replying to mine... its almost as good as having you right here with me! xoxox

Oh Ruth you did make me smile, you are off to unbunch your knickers which are bunched with excitement for me :) And I'm your IF inspiration? Wow. I've never been anybody's inspiration, at least not that I know of or can remember :) Thanks. And yes coffee and coconut oil are the IF way, at least for me, most days. And yes I do believe it is 'okay' for us to mix up our diets/WOE's often to keep our bodies guessing and also to mitigate against the unrelenting border of 'wash, rinse,repeat'. I know that works but man o man it's so SLOW. Anyway, as I always boringly state - one foot in front of the other, and as you so nicely say, one meal at a time. Another thing I like about no breakfast is - that if you have been kinda low cal until dinner, if dinner throws you a curveball, it's okay, cause you have calories left. And if dinner is in a good range, then there is room for snacks. mmmmm - snacks - my favorite time of day :) Okay, I've got to stop blabbing on. Have an awesome day and it was SO GREAT to chat to you 'live'. xxxx

Yeah, wish this site was more like FB, where you see more 'instantly' what's going on and who's around, etc. But I'll take it, I love this site, and I've made some amazing friends, like you, more like sisters than friends :) If I could do a heart symbol I would :)

Is, I haven't tried the coconut oil in my coffee yet, but now that I know its the IF way, I will tomorrow -- another inspirational comment from you! I absolutely agree that one of the pluses of IF for me is knowing that when I am eating, I truly can eat what I love, which is something I've been striving for but resistant because of my concern for eating too many calories & gaining weight. Yesterday I struggled to get to 1000 calories, but I'm out for dinner tonight so know it won't be a problem & that I can truly enjoy my meal -- another reason to relax about it all. Okay, now I'm really getting to work... but love having had this time together before you head across the pond... yikes there go my knickers again! xoxo

Sorry you are homebound today, but as always, you make good use of your time. So, I'm not caught up fully on your diet tweaks. I like the idea of Paleo - the closer to nature the better.
