Come When Ready

Happy VD! No one says that right? VD could mean all kinds of things, most commonly venereal disease or vaginal delivery. Both of those are occurring somewhere today, I’m sure. I probably tell you this at the same time every year; Dee was supposed to be a Valentine’s Day baby but she said, “Fuck that! I’ll come when I’m ready bitches!”

I might have done something to my arm cause it hurts more than it did and is in different spots from the initial injury. I still use my fingers and arm to do things … like

• Put on deodorant, headphones, and clothes
• Support my big ass phone
• Hold jars so I could open them and
• Move stuff by resting them on my arm, right above my thumb and forefinger.

I will ease up if it hurts, but Dre said, “I don’t think you’re supposed to use that arm for anything.” A few days later Dee said the same.

I need my hand!

I’ve been doing a consistent job at intermittent fasting and staying in my calorie range over the last few days but I haven’t been moving nearly as much. Last Thursday to Saturday night I fasted. Broke my 69 hr fast with bacon and rice at about 9:00 pm.

For the first time in forever, I slept from about midnight to 8:30 am. Same for Sunday night, but I woke around 6:00 am. Last night I didn’t sleep very well, maybe because I had three vanilla Oreos BUT still stayed in my calorie range of 600 – 1000 calories per day. When I work out, I eat a bit more but only a few 100 cause I wanna lose weight.

I know I’m supposed to eat breakfast, but I usually have to force myself. On a typical day, I don’t get hungry until after 2:00 pm but you’re supposed to have lunch at lunchtime and dinner at dinnertime. Right! I’ve given the double middle finger to tradition; now I fast for 23:1 eating in my calorie range from 9:00 pm to 10:00 pm.

By ~ 9:00 am
according to Fastic
my body is already in
fat-burning mode

Sweet!

It’s only been three days and I feel good. I hit my sleep goal two out of three nights that’s pretty amazing. Also, I’ve drastically reduced the amount of sugar I consume. Three Oreos in five days! Unheard of! I picked late nights to eat because that’s usually when I crave everything and when I’m likely to overeat.

Of course, it’s easy to do at home. I need to keep it up in the real world around people who will tell me I’m crazy and encourage me to eat. I have to navigate around lunch/dinner dates and office parties. It hasn’t been very long but I hope I found what works for me.

BTW: I am happy Kansas City won the Superbowl because, during the pre-game place your bets gambling period, everyone picked Philly Eagles.

BTW2: There’s a gozen restaurant in my neighbourhood with a VD special menu – 160$ per person.
