Let's talk about the weather, a very safe topic, even safer than food. Because there are vegetarians, vegans, pescatarians, gluten free, carb free, dairy free, fat free and sugar free. I'm trying to be food free, which other people call 'intermittent fasting'. What a boring name for a diet, intermittent fasting! I'm definitely forgetting many other ways to make yourself miserable. Once I tried bread diet, it's a happy diet as it boosts your serotonin. Did I lose weight? Take a wild guess, I wouldn't be trying 'food free.'
You will be surprised, but there are people out there, that unlike most of us, have trouble gaining weight, I know one in real life and one fictitious, Izzie. I even wrote a song for her called, Pound song. Do you want me to post it??
Back to the topic at hand, or in hand? The weather. After a few days of snow, the sky is finally bright blue and it's sunny, which means super cold but looks so beautiful and crisp through the window.
Bummer, I forgot to snap a picture. Bum-mer, get it? I forgot to put bum-mer on that great list of spanking expressions... And you thought that I would write a post that doesn't mention spanking, shame on you! You earned one right now!
For the full list how to say spanking without using the word, read the post called Let's start it with a bang here
The picture that you see is from a few days ago. You see how the sky is white? Now it's a gorgeous blue.
Cheers!
This piece isn't a bum-mer; it's butt beautiful! (I detest the phrase "butt ugly." It denigrates an area that is sublime.)
ReplyDeleteIntermittent fasting used to work wonders for me, but then it stopped. (I think my metabolism got screwed up when I ate very little for years when modeling.) Now I am completely fasting twice a week, on Wednesdays and Sundays. I don't eat from (for example) Saturday night's dinner until Tuesday morning's breakfast. There are studies of animals that show a restricted calorie diet promotes longevity. We'll see if I live to be 100. I just like to have a dramatic ratio between my slender waist measurement and my big bootie. So tomorrow, I'll only be having mugs of green and hibiscus tea. I think I keep my hanger under control, but I'll let others be the judge of that.
Anyway, good luck with your fast! Do you keep a six or an eight hour window for eating?
JM, may you live to 100 and beyond! I'm trying to keep an eight hour window, but what I can I say, I'm quite weak when it comes to food temptations.
ReplyDeleteMe, too. The thing that helped me the most was not keeping alcohol in the house. I'll have a glass of wine in the evening (calories) and then think that I want something to munch with that wine, like cheese and crackers or... (many more calories). I, too, am TRYING to maintain that 8 hour eating window; 6 is just too restrictive!
