Trying a new Fast Diet

I started my diet today. Just focusing on one hour, one day at a time. I'm going to try fasting. 

So far, this morning was easy. I'm never hungry in the mornings. So not eating is simple. I start getting hungry after work, which is usually around 12:30/1pm. I only have 6 eating hours of the day from 1 to 7pm. I surely can fast for a few hours. It's now 3:30pm the time where I want to cave in. Where I have the hardest time to lose weight because I want to eat in the late afternoon. I'm committed to going just one day fasting to jump start my diet. I keep telling myself that I can eat first thing in the morning. Day 1 is always tough. 

Here's what we did on our Sunday. Steve and I finally checked out a new Cider place, Urban forage. This was delicious cider, with spices. 

These bars do not look good from this photo. I finally made pecan pie bars with a short bread crust. Much better then pecan pie crust. They turned out really good and tasted better with some vanilla ice cream. Of course they are sitting in a pan waiting to be eaten. I just keep telling myself, that I can make them again some day since they are super easy to make. No need to eat any today.

Foot and Tape

I'm all taped up for the next 3 to 5 days! After I get to put shoe inserts in for 3 weeks and do some exercises for my planter factitious. 

I can't get the tape wet, so I'll be wearing a plastic bag on my foot when I shower for a few days. My foot already is feeling better. The doctor also wants me to wear shoes all the time. So no bare feet for me!

After the doctor, I had a little time to kill before going to work at 11. I ended up at TJ maxx and found a new pictur/painting for the front entry. I replaced a faded out painting. 

I also found these white wooden decorative wall hanging. I didn't want to put back the outdated wine bottle painting and the wall light I took off the shades. I think it looks better like this. I just need to adjust the wall decorations since I just used the existing nails to put them on the wall. Adding just a few more 2019 changes to the house. Now to get moving on the office and paint!

Mid week..

Zoey is looking good. She is all cleaned up with a shorter fur coat. She didn't even freak out when I was driving her to the groomer. She walked right in and got to play with a few other dogs that were waiting to be picked up. I think that's her favorite part. She was pretty excited to see me and definitely wanted to go home. 

Today's agenda is getting my left foot fixed. Although, now that I'm actually going to the doctor, my foot has been hurting a lot less. Go figure! It's not 100% and I'm not sure anything will be done but at least I'll find out if anything can be done or if it's up to me to just wait it out! At least I'll know my options if any!

Dieting has been failing in the afternoons for me. I have to change what I do after work or I can never change my behavior. First step is to skip lunch or just have a few almonds. Change into workout clothes, go to the bank and drop of my daily checks and then head right to the gym to bike and lift weights. I can easily just sit on a bike, look at my phone and then do a little weights. I'm also going to go from the couch to the floor and do afternoon/evening yoga. A little caffeine in the afternoon might help the afternoon blah's. I think this is why I snack and eat far more calories then needed to lose weight. Little changes to my schedule should make the difference between not losing weight and having success with dropping some pounds. I have a spring goal of to lose weight and feel good this summer. There is so much I want to do and I have the months to start making changes so I can have a good summer full of everything I want to do! Which involves another spring Dulahalon! I'm thinking Cannon falls in April if my foot is fixed. It all depends on how my feet feel.
