Hi gang! I know it has been a while since posting. Autumn rolls in, and so starts another semester in my doctoral program, a new internship, job shifts and weird adjustments to early AM schedules… Wheee?
That said, I’ve been home alone for the week and able to focus on recommitting to fasting. I spent a lot of the summer doing only intermittent fasting, allowing my body and my mind to relax a tiny bit from having shed the weight thus far. I feel switching things up helps me personally. So I used this week alone as a chance to reset my priorities with getting back into the weight loss/mental clarity improvements. As some may recall, I have been floating in the low 180s range, and there was a part of me that felt I may forever hover here. Considering I started this at 290, would NEVER complain, as my health gains have been beyond extraordinary.
So I stepped on my scale… and voila!
(Pardon the doggie-love state of scale, between slobbers and fur… I gotta pick my battles)
So yeah! My goal was to hit 170 by December, but who knows - could hit it way sooner. I was hoping for movement once I started back at school because the way the classes are set up - it dovetails perfectly with fasting plans. Either way, it was amazing to bust through the PERCEIVED plateau… I was losing inches even when the scale wasn’t moving, so it’s amazing HOW much of this is mental as anything else along the way.
Thanks for always being a constant source of inspiration. I have been reading in brief pauses in this chaotic schedule, even if not able to reply.
