feast or famine

Before   - since I wasn’t going to go on a diet

10 years ago- I never got a hike before weight. 

Maybe 230? 240? 

I was not a small gal. 

Not healthy. 

Now weight. And goal weight. 

I’m short. 5’2”

BC - Before Canines. 

5’1”  AD - After Dogs. 

I lost 7 pounds last week 

fasting with maybe 

500 calories all week. 

I’m AMAZED at how 

few calories I need. 

I can and did - gain on OMAD. 

“Delay, Don’t Deny” 

Is DEFINITELY not for me. 

My blood glucose is large

And in charge. 

And I must do what it tells me. 

I imagine to maintain on OMAD 

I need around 500 calories 

A day. NOT 2000. 

Not even 1,200. 

Even when I’m active. 

Everything I’ve ever learned 

In Nursing School was wrong. 

This is an 88/8 or 66/6

Fasting routine. 

It’s easy to plot 

By-The-Hour. 

It feels a little OCD

Still plotting after all these years. 

But anyone who reads my blog 

KNOWS that 

I can slide down that 

Slippery Slope “lickety  split”! 

Probably the underlying hormonal factors. 

This is a fasting reading. 

Sleep - my new hobby 

Is good because I went back 

To my Baby Boomer Friends house. 

And it’s quiet as a 

Suburbian Log out here. 

All you hear is lawn mowers 

And KatyDids. 

The best part of waking up

Is coffee grounds in your cup! 

An old Army Nurse gotta do

Whatcha gotta do. 

I’m sincerely thinking 

about doing some “no coffee” studies. 
And let my body heal

My adrenaline and cortisol issues. 

Suit comes today! 

I take monthly measurements. 

Someone took my cloth tape. 

This makes 2 I’ve “lost.”

They’re sacred tools. 

I’m not likely to just misplace them. 

I think I’ll be ok with the suit. 

It’s Lycra. So it will 

Touch skin. (Ugh!)

But that’s ok at 530 am

At the senior center!
