Hey y'all! Anyone and everyone is welcome to jump in and join us.

This is the Intermittent Fasting DAily Menu/Results/Accountability Thread. It's where a few of us (or many) are going to log in and encourage each other while we experiment with our own IF plans. You can list or talk about anything--not just your food. I look forward to adding in HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) and core exercises to my walking plan while practicing IF. So expect to hear about that too. hehe I expect some of us will talk about the known IF side-effects like insomnia, circadian rhythm disturbance, etc. It's all good! Let's hack this IF mofo! mkay?

There is not any 1 specific IF plan--there are so many to choose from, so this is a BYOIFP (bring-your-own-IF-plan) and join the fun! This is the thread where we'll post our daily menus and maybe some piccys at times! We can discuss progress, issues we might notice, look at how we may want to refine our own personal plans. I do think you should be healed from surgery and have your doctor's and RD's blessings to try something like this and you should do a ton of research and reading about Intermittent Fasting.

IF isn't only about weight loss, it's about taking specific measures to limit either quantities, calories, macros, or sometimes only consciously altering eating windows/schedules in order to effect metabolic change and reduce inflammation and improve health markers.

Ok, let's do this thang!!!

I'm not very old fashioned at all. So I definitely use my costco shopping passes, fill up the cart a few times before I buy the membership . And sometimes I have no intention of ever even joining.

It totally is semantics. Things are going great. It just feels like an awkward stage between, he's the guy I'm dating and he's my boyfriend.

Wait...you can get a "try before you buy" at Costco?!!! Foreals?

OMG! This weekend I have a date with destiny then! I've been trying to talk Mr. F. over to the dark side and away from Sam's.

And Costco has these pinwheel steaks of the spinalis dorsi muscle!!!! (you know...the ribeye cap)

I think if he eats one of those I will have worked my wicked manipulative way with him!

Shield your eyes..


Un-Requested d**k Pic!

And here I thought that DP's were like... Major NO NO's and girls didn't want to see that stuff. Or is it more a "didn't ask, didn't want" over just a "don't want"?

Speaking only for myself ... I love a good dp of a d I have a strong attachment to. Solicited or unsolicited is all good. It's a visual alternative to getting a "Thinking of you" or "Miss you" text.

A dp of a d I've expressed no interest in or fondness for, h*ll no. That's a way to guarantee I'll never be interacting with that person or their d ever.

Hahaha. You are correct sir! We don't really want to see that stuff unsolicited.

I only said it cuz of the other post and I've honestly never in my life had a dp sent to me. Mr. F. would laugh me off the face of the earth if I suggested it even! Bahahaha. And I might add, he I'm sure would be horrified if I sent him a pic of the foobs or the hell that is the post menopausal southern semi-amusement park er I mean carnival freak show. (Thank you @MIZ60 for showing me how to use the strikethrough button. My life is richer for knowing of it. )

Hmmm ... I think you're underestimating yourself and Mr. F. I mean who doesn't want to know they are being thought of and are wanted?

Damn! @sillykitty I just called my Costco. They DO carry those prime steaks. They DO have them currently. But she almost laughed at me when I mentioned guest pass.

Not meaning to offend anyone here, but is there some special "thing" I have to do in order to get a weekend guest pass at Costco? (Just sayin'...I know how to hand jive!) ha

You are quite welcome!! I would laugh uncontrollably if husband sent me a dp...I always complain during sport physical season that I am so tired of looking at and touching adolescent boy's d's that I am gonna scream. He does have a naked picture of me wearing a hat in a hotel room in Mexico that he keeps on his desk---I just have to remember to put it away if we have guests since it is also our guest room. How do random people get your phone number to send dps anyway?

Not my account, thankfully cause Costco don't play!

OK, speaking only for myself, ds are ugly - coyote ugly. I'll take a pic of just about any other body part (love a great @ss) but no ds, please!
