The propane guy showed up. 10am and minutes after I had to listen to dh rant about if he's going to show up or not this time. Apparently we're going to be able to submit this for a $200 energy rebate, so that is good to help offset a little of the cost.
We've been getting deer in our yard in the evenings. It's right at dusk, so a bit too dark to try to get a good picture of them. For sure we saw a momma and her 2 young ones.
I've made it through day 2 of intermittent fasting. I think waiting to eat this morning seemed harder than yesterday. I've been having my cup of coffee after I eat breakfast now and boy it sure tastes good! The 8 hour window I can eat seems to go by super fast. The hours between dinner and bed aren't too bad, but the 2 hours in the morning until I can eat seem to be the hardest part, so far. I do start drinking water when I get up (and in the evenings). I just have to keep reminding myself that in order to get my normal calories, I need to eat my evening snack in the afternoon, LOL.
We live in a very small community - there's only about 4000 people in the whole county, with 3 small towns. Apparently in the last month there have been 2 drug overdoses, resulting in death, in one of the small towns (pop about 500). Sad. Probably fentanyl. Dh said he had just read an article that one of the large cities in our state recently had like 6 fentanyl OD's in one weekend. Like one of our friends said - what is the suppliers end game here? Doesn't seem good business sense to kill off your customers.......
I started intermittent fasting in 2019 - I haven't eaten before noon since then (unless we're traveling). You'll get used to it! You can have coffee, I think (unless you put cream and sugar in it). I drink Diet Coke in the morning...
ReplyDeleteWhat changes did you notice with the fasting? Weight loss or any other health changes/improvements? I can't stand black coffee, so that is why I've been now waiting to drink it after my fasting period is over.
DeleteI don't even want to say how much weight I've lost the last two years since my heaviest. Unintentionally, with my eating for the most part being between 11-7, or usually 12-6, plus the amount of walking I do now and did pre knee surgery, it's just been a slow and consistent weight loss. I've kind of been the same since pre surgery and don't expect winter to lose much, but its fascinating that I've lost so much weight without really trying to, because my life changed so much. Grief and stress, I don't recommend as a weight loss plan.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your grief and stress was a huge factor. I have always lost weight in my most stressful times. I'm hoping for at least a little bit of weight to drop off now.
DeleteSo glad the tech made it, finally. As for the drugs - they do seem to attract small towns - probably easier to make and deal from a small place. They don't have to worry about customers dying - they will be replaced :( Funny enough, I took a picture on my walk to work yesterday. Somone wrote on note for the neighbour and left it on the front of their truck - Stop Dealing Drugs! Yes they deal drugs, I just don't know if no one has called it in properly or the police are dealing with other things.
ReplyDeleteWe tried putting a sign about the drug dealing in our old neighborhood. Didn't do a bit of good. The druggies/or dealers just tore it down and the police didn't care and after 5 years of trying to get them to care, we realized it wasn't going to happen.
