So I went out with a friend and we ate a Pizookie together, I'm going to pay for it later... Lol

It was too sweet, too rich, too many calories. More restaurants need diabetic friendly Desserts. I'm glad it was the only thing I tried. It's like 1000000000 cals per square inch

Interesting re stress. I have a job that can be stressful indeed. High media profile, 1000 employees, and some regulatory roles where we stop people doing stuff sometimes.

I was perusing through my iPhone ‘health’ app (linked to my watch) and noted something.

I have a low resting heart rate nowadays. This weekend, 51 or 52 bpm. But last week, 63-66 each day. Last weekend, 50, 52. And the pattern is consistent. About 10-15 bpm higher on workdays. I checked out three recent days I knew had large stressful events. 71, 71, 69. And that is averaged across 18 hours...

I haven’t checked weight correlation - but I eat differently in the weekend!

Hi all! Hope you had a great weekend! I'm back! I ate ALL. THE. THINGS. at WurstFest and had a couple sips of beer--meh. Not so interested in it. I'm up to 152.8lbs this morning but not worried. It's mostly fluid--and a lot of that is in my lymphedema arm. It always happens when I travel, even though I use a compression sleeve. It will drain and I will be back to my low within a week.

I'm doing a 24 hour OMAD today, maybe will even consider going for a 36hour. Will see how it goes and if I'm a starvin fool today--after eating so much and so many more carbs this weekend. I'm so carb sensitive. Ugh. Still! Oh well--lucky for me, I can take em or leave em without angst. I am OBSCENELY happy to be back in my own environment, on my own schedule with my happy belly food. I can't wait for one of my huge salads, and also sauteed greens and mushies--and maybe a hunk of salmon, chicken, or turkey! Wish I beef still loved me. But I still have dreams that one day we will learn to play well together!

@redhead_che Congrats on goal girl!! And so quickly! Man to be young and have your darling figure! Your bikini inspires this old crone to dream big! I just don't know where I would tuck and hide all my skin! LOL.

@FluffyChix, this fasting plan has actually helped me get to 124 already! I cannot believe I read this thread for so long without jumping in and trying it. I'm just going to keep riding the wave and see where it takes me!

IKR!!! In the grocery store I would sport a flaming red bikini with maybe like a faux full length mink (cuz I always freeze my ass off in our HEB, no matter how fuc*ing hot it is outside!)

Good times!

[GreenTealael 24,862]

It has dawned on me that I have lost only about 20ish lbs since I started IF, that may not seem like a lot but it was 20ish more than I would have because my other health conditions and meds were trying to hold me back. I digress. But the physical change is vastly different. I swear it dredged pure fat out of me. so screw the scale, here's the pics
