Her Frame of Mind

Mmmkay. So, I fasted 16 hours, opened the eating window at noon- I had a half cup of cottage cheese- full fat, a peach, and a nurri shake to help me make my protein goal. Then I made a pan of lasagna, I had a coffee, I ate half a caramello. I have not hit the protein goal and I have not hit the calorie goal. I am not too hungry, but I know I need to get the calories in or I won’t be able to lose weight. I guess I should eat more. Hmmm… this is one of the bad things about IF- for me, I am not hungry enough during the eating window to get all my eating done. I exercise and the tracker adds on more calories for the day.

Just remember, life gets messy- we can be magical and a mess… all at the same time.

Here’s my plan, I’m sticking to it! Three days intermittent fasting- still trying to hit my protein goal!

Good morning, let’s take a moment here to appreciate our beautiful fall weather.
It’s nice and cool in the mornings, it’s nice and warm in the day.
I love this time of year and I’m looking forward to the changing seasons.
Also, my client gave me a box of peaches
My dad is coming to visit
Bear and Dylan are doing a spartan race soon
And I am feeling my inspiration return-
I feel like when we get caught up (so busy with work, travel and life) sometimes we lose our ability to just let it flow… so I am excited to feel it coming back!
Look out! Hehe.

How’s it going?
Well, today is D2 IF and yesterday my nutrition sucked.
Soooo, consequently- it’s 6am and I am starting to feel hungry, that’s only 14 hours into my fast (probably 15, but I started my timer at 4pm)
Lesson to be learned here?
Let’s not eat pasta. There’s no nutritional content in it. Instead, let’s do protein, fiber and fruits and veggies.
I can’t wait to eat today. Lol. I am gonna drink a big glass of water and have a second cup of coffee and power through till at least 9 though- I got this.

Okay, mmmkay. I know. It’s dumb to go eat out at the chain restaurants, we know the food isn’t great and it’s probably not nutritious either.
Today Bear and I had errands to run in town, so he wanted to go to Olive Garden and have some food.
Me, well- I am doing intermittent fasting (fasting window 4:30-9:30), so I get to eat from around 9:45- 4pm- we were heading in there around 2- so it’d be my last meal of the eating window and I hadn’t made the protein goal yet, so I was cautious about it- and tried to order something yummy and with protein.
It was a big fail. I ordered the shrimp scampi and endless salad (salad to them is iceburg lettuce with cheese on it), there were 5 shrimps on a bed of angel hair pasta with some chopped up asparagus. Zero flavors, and seriously- I tracked it on my fitness pal and it said 1 gram of protein. ONE gram! Dumb. I had to eat one of his meatballs and come home and down a protein shake, but I got 84 grams in for the day.
Note to self: do not go to olive garden and expect nutrition.
(This picture is so that I remember why I am trying to fast. Lol, visceral fat reduction.)

I’ve been reading a couple books recently on Adlerian Psychology and Philosophy and it’s really struck a nerve in me.
I am really happy I found this and find many similarities in my own philosophy as well as learning alot.
I’m still reading the second one, but
I totally recommend these two books, great reads. Xoxox lemme know what you think.
