So I know I'm far from my goal body, but I'm finding everyday is joy in the body that I have right this minute now that I finally have a "user's manual" that works for me.

But...I'm still learning, still reading, still researching, still tweaking which leads me down LOTS of rabbit holes.

Wanted to share a rabbit hole resource that I discovered recently that spoke to me:

Episode 52 of the "Intermittent Fasting Stories" interviewed a woman named Andrea Tollison.

Her story was intriguing because she did not have a lot of weight to lose, so losing the weight and then coming to a détente with her goal body was process that I found enlightening.

Truth be told, I don't want to "maintain" my weight loss. I just want to live my life and her experiences resonated loudly with me.

Turns out she also has a podcast called "Intuitively Intermittent" where by she explores melding the concepts of intuitive eating with intermittent fasting.

I know, I know.

She has been told by the Intuitive eating community to pretty much go blow because many in that community don't feel like the two concepts should be paired.

But...

Her experience is valuable to me and since IF is not a diet, but an eating pattern, you can pair it with whatever "diet" you wish and Intuitive eating is to my mind a "diet."

Maybe "diet" is not the correct word since it is so fraught with negative meaning and to most "a diet" means the idea of controlling what you eat to attain some end...but my understanding is that IE is WHAT you eat and WHAT you eat is your "diet" when it comes right down to it.

So I'm all for finding out what she knows, how things have worked for her and what nuggets I might take away for my IF tool box.

At this point, I do eat Intuitively.

Within my window, I ask myself what I want and I eat to the point of satiety in the deepest sense of the word.

When I close my window, I am satisfied so deeply, my body literally heaves a sigh of relief. That is when I know I'm done for the day.

So...find out what works for you.

Keep a growth mindset (intellect not body ;) and keep the faith (in yourself.)

Hello!

I have been MIA for a while.

My two year old granddaughter Zara is here again after a few months of living in Texas.

Things are getting too crazy with COVID down there, so we though it safer for her to be here for the time being and I'm the primary caretaker for now, so almost no time for social media!!

Zara lived with us all of last year and I managed to gain 20+ pounds on top of the 30+ pounds I needed to lose despite trying to manage calories, restrict and eat "magical foods" that I hated or cut out entire categories of food that I loved. I never really upped my exercise, because for me, anything outside of yoga, hiking, yard work and the occasional aerobics class is just unsustainable.

I attributed my weight gain to stress, slowing metabolism, aging and decided that I was just going to be fat for the rest of my life.

Enter Intermittent Fasting and life is delicious, weight loss is steady and the energy I have is seemingly unlimited.

Last year I used to collapse into bed after a day of caring for Zara on top of the usual housework, yard work, bills, helping my folks etc.

Running on keytones for the majority of the day is spectacular. I'm up at 6 am and go strong until 11:00pm with only a 20 minute cat nap after my OMAD to help my digestion.

Truly the fountain of youth.

I'll keep posting my losses and checking in when I can. Zara is starting to stir from her afternoon nap so let me get back to it!!!

Below is a picture of my little chica!! Flamingoes are cool, but not half as cool as Zara!!

Keep the faith (in yourself!!)

XOXO
