Intermittent Fasting Daily Menu/Results/Accountability



Recommended Posts

OK, starting Day 1 of AMAW/CAMAW and am still gonna do my 16/8 or 18/6 stuff daily. I just don't wanna give up my IF. I seriously heart it--and this group! We'll see what happens and see if I can drop closer to below my 148lbs again by end of the week (next Sunday). I'd like to be at 145lbs next Sunday, but it's only a loose target and it does move. :D

Happy Sunday to all!!!

Starting 7 days of MACAW (Meat and cheese and Wholefoood).

Plus three runs to total 15 miles, and three strength sessions with a weight step up in one each of leg, arm and core exercises. Monday (tomorrow) disappears into the magical ether of international flights so that can’t be a strength training day - but I will count it for zero carbs 😂🤣😂

Health week!

OK, going for a 16:8 today! Wooohooooo! Anyone IFing the fork out of Monday? :)

It's Day 2 of AMAW/CAMAW. Barely made it by the skin of my teeth. LOL. I have one more coffee before I have to engage my aspirin bottle in constructive endeavors. Will one of you (or many) entertain me? Subjects sure to make me laugh: anything potty related, nose humor, innocent stuff about sex (d**k pics with d**k Van Dyke and Oscar Meyer), updates on your bad selves or good selves, kids antics, dating/singles antics, cardio chat, food chat, the Guys' Room, I wanta say the Ladies Room, but that just makes me sad and want to shake my head...SO. MUCH. droopy boobs. PCOS. period chatter!

Hello ...

Nothing new in Sillykitty's world. I'm not traveling this week, but am at my home office, all bundled up because it's 52 degrees, which is the equivalent to below zero for SoCal people. :lol:

I'm only doing some minor IF right now, really just not eating Breakfast, and not doing any late night eating. Haven't jumped on the scale this morning. That requires being naked, and it's too cold for that right now! I was up 1 lb from my low on my profile as of yesterday. Not worried about that unless it creeps up further

All is well in the dating/cardio world with not sure if I can call him my bf yet. We will have a long period of not seeing each other starting the weekend before Xmas, through the weekend after New Years, due to him traveling to see family and me potentially going out of town for New Years. His mom is coming to town for a few days before they leave together to see family. Should I be bothered I won't be meeting her? For some context he's an only child, they're close and she lives on the east coast.

Sorry @FluffyChix, I won't be joining you with AMAW/CAMAW, because, I love me some carbs. :P

@Sosewsue61 that pie is gorgeous! I'm queen of the crumble, cause I don't have your kind of skills! I admire you and @FluffyChix for the baking extravaganza this month, and trying to stay on plan while doing it. I haven't had the time or energy to do a lot of baking in years!

@Sosewsue61, your weekend away sounds fab, but what's junking?

I honestly wouldn't worry about not meeting mom right now. That's BIG BIG stuff--especially if he's an only child and has been burned before with women trying to get close too fast. Or alternately, he could be Chandler Bing with intimacy issues. Maybe HE's the crazy one and the other chicks are just normal? Only you will know when/if he hits your personal limits for following the plan. You know? I think there's no harm right now in just being FBs or FWBs. But if you are just FB/FWB status, I'd probably have bigger boundaries/hoops he has to jump through and greater cool-factor going down. Cuz I def wouldn't want to be putting it on the line begging him to love me and being unprotected. I def wouldn't want to appear desperate.

And, not saying you appear that way cuz I've no idea how cool you are being nor what your boundaries are. I just think dating today is forking difficult and my hat's off to you!

(And I'm seriously asking myself right now WTF was I thinking doing AMAW/CAMAW right now? ROFLMBO! Serious second thoughts. I want to sacrifice a 5oz box of baby spinach to the gastro gods right now. LOL)

Good Day All.
I think my time here is going to get a bit of a decrease. BariatricPal is moving from PatchMD Patches to PatchAid patches. No reason given. I was posting here to help offset the cost with the points, as a secondary, I'll still try to help folks out where I can, but it just seems like my time is coming.

I'm still floating between 207 and 213, been working out a lot more, still doing the IF most days. My body fat has been decreasing again even if my overall weight is still bobbing up and down. My body fat is down to 23.1% today leaving me with a reported 48.6 lbs of fat left hanging on.

Guess we'll see how it all goes.
Just wanted to let you all know here, as it seems most of those that I interact with on a normal basis are all right here in this thread.

Well either my new scale is defective or I'm dropping weight rapidly and I don't think that's a good thing. I haven't been feeling great lately (prior med issues I think) but I'm 154 this morning? Um no. That's 4lbs in 4 days without trying. I hate to sound ungrateful but usually when people start dropping weight really quickly without trying it's a problem...

Awwwww crap Matt! Don't go! :( Remember, nobody will EVER love you like WE can! ;) Can't we just avoid a total break-up and just become good Di*k (van Dyke) friends?

Dayum!!!! Maybe you're just really on track with the schedule in the #2 station??? :( Or, maybe it's just a whoosh, that happens you know, when you're body finally figures out that you really aren't at risk of starvation, it finally dumps the Water out of the empty fat cells and you have an overnight woosh of like 2-4 lbs?

Let me just state that, I'm not "leaving" out right... just, my time here is going to decrease some, it has already to an extent... just going to let that trend continue out. But, I'll still be around and will still check in daily and answer anything I can.

Thank you all for your abundance of caring!

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
