Hello Lovelies!!
Told you that I wasn’t very good at doing daily updates for my blog. Although I did think about it, as well as thought about only doing weekly updates. Needless to say, as you can see, that didn’t work out in my favor either. Considering in two days, it will be a month since I have started on this intermittent fasting journey. So I will give a general update as to what has been happening with it.
For the most part, it has been fairly easy to keep to the 16/8 schedule. Once I rearranged my breaks at work to help accommodate my new eating schedule, it was easy. There has only been really one day that I went outside the parameters of the 16/8. That was because J and I had gone out for breakfast and it was still early. He didn’t quite understand what I was doing, even though I explained it to him. On the weekends, I would make breakfast for him at around 8:30 and then I would eat after 11:30 as per my schedule. For the most part, it worked out for me. Lately, I have been wanting a snack later in the evening after my 7:30 deadline for eating has ended. It can be a bit frustrating, but I haven’t given in to temptation, no matter how much I wanted to.
I haven’t really had any negative effects from doing it. Although, I did have a couple migraines near the beginning, however, those could be have also been from the changing weather (which is when I usually get my migraines) during that time. Other than that, I haven’t noticed any other negative effects.
I still need to check my weight again, which will most likely be tomorrow if I can get near the scale at work. Yes, I use the scale at work to weigh myself, as I don’t own a personal one. It is an industrial scale (as we have to weigh the dirty laundry that we send into the wash so that we are not over/under the weight limits for the washers/dryers), but works pretty well for weighing myself also. From the last time that I weighed myself about halfway through, I hadn’t seen any difference in weight (bearing in mind I’m fully clothed and have extra weight from my steel-toed shoes). My beginning weight in this journey was 233lbs. It was still sitting there at the halfway point for the month. However, I have noticed that my work pants are not as tight as when I started doing this.
Last week, at work, it was about 10am and my plant supervisor (K ) had made a comment to me about eating. I can’t remember exactly what he said to me, however, I remember that I had replied back saying that I hadn’t eaten anything yet. He got mad at me for that, wanting to know why and that it wasn’t good for my metabolism. I told him that I was intermittent fasting and then he asked me what my window was, told him that it was 11:30-7:30, which was why I changed my breaks around a bit. Then he said that his window was 11-7, so not only did he know what I was talking about, he is also currently doing it also. He mentioned that he had fallen off the wagon for a little bit but was starting again. Thankfully, I haven’t fallen off the wagon yet. Although, I have been tempted to quit at times. But I keep powering through.
I think I will continue this trend onto another month. Although, I should probably do my measurements to see if/where I am losing my inches from.
