It’s day 35 and I’m still going. I just don’t feel any specific desire to stop. I feel good. I’m leaner, but probably have another 4 months worth of improvement to go. My skin was great until a little breakout yesterday which was probably the result of a one-night trip to LA and all the time in a plane. This W30 was by far the easiest. I didn’t have that rebellion phase. I never had strong cravings and I never got resentful about having to cook/pack/plan. I bought a container of yogurt while shopping today and plan to start adding dairy and see what happens. I’ve never done that in isolation. So I’ll give it a few days of just dairy. Then maybe wine. I don’t have any specific cravings. I feel good. I’d like to keep going, but I know that’s not sustainable.
I have been experimenting with intermittent fasting. I’m just eating between noon - 8p.m. - so basically it’s just a fancy way of saying I skip breakfast and don’t eat after dinner. I’m getting used to it and I think I’m eating less overall. I feel like I get full faster and snack less.
The only thing I’ve bought so far that was non-consumable was a new kitchen faucet. Ours sprung a leak. I feel that’s acceptable within the bounds of my self imposed silly rules.
The running thing however is not happening. My knees and foot haven’t been feeling great, so I’ve been focusing on lifting and yoga and low impact cardio. And —- very exciting —- a Pilates studio opened in the neighborhood, so I’ve started doing reformer classes again.
New recipes from this time around that I really like:
Wonton Meatballs
Fried Chicken Meatballs (I’ve been obsessed with these for months. I make them all the time. SO good)
Greek Stew
Pork and Kabocha stew (I liked this a lot. M did not like it at all)
