Intermittent Fasting

I should know better by now.  Anytime I read about a weight loss plan that involves little effort it either doesn't' work, or what you actually have to do is so unpleasant as to be not worth the results.  I tried intermittent fasting today, which is where you don't eat for 24 hours and then eat normally for a few days and then fast again.  I stopped eating after 6 pm last night and was supposed to eat dinner tonight after 6 pm, skipping breakfast and lunch.  I ate lunch at about 1:10.  I wasn't so hungry that I had to eat, but my head felt very fuzzy and pro-headache like.  I've come to the conclusion that I can fast if I have to, but I don't think I'll take it up recreationally.

Lurching Forward

My March 30th post was very Yay Me!  Since then I've had fits and starts.  The up side is that I am quilting up a storm - I have a baby quilt due Friday (an out of town friend will be visiting with said bebe and it would be nice to give her the quilt in person) and I will get the binding done tonight and get it washed and dried.  Woot!  The down side is that I've hit the treadmill once so far this week.  I seem to be having better luck (?) if you can call it that exercising in the evening than in the morning.  This is entirely contrary to my past decade of experience.  I guess I will do what ever has to be done.  I am finding that I feel better if I don't rush about in the morning trying to fit in everything I do and exercise too before getting to work.  Now I just have to make sure that the exercise happens when I get home.  Step 1, meet step 2.

Note to self - remember that this health thing is forever, so keep trying.
