G'morning RNYers!

Long time no seen/talked! I think the last time I posted was mid Feb. Funny how you can get busy not having a job. What have I been up to?

  1. After about a year of not working and moping about my business (corporate events) disappearing due to the pandemic, I started volunteering at a vaccine clinic in Feb. It started with 1-2 afternoons a day and it morphed into a full time 5 days a week volunteering gig. They finally closed down the clinic last Fri because I guess now you can have the vaccine at most pharmacies.
  2. The volunteering gig showed me I really like talking to people and being with people. I have WFH for almost 20 years, so now it's time to get back out there and look for an office job. Don't wanna do events any more.
  3. Weight wise doing OK. In Jan I was about 10 lbs over my personal goal. Tried different things but somehow couldn't get back to my lowest. Then remembered Christina and IF. Figured I have nothing to lose but the weight. Lo and behold it's working, very slowly but it's working. I started with 16 hours, then 18, then 20, and now I do ADF (alternate day fasting) which is almost 36 hours. During the fasting days (3 days a week) I can have max 500 cals which in my head is easier than not eating at all. The non fasting days I keep my cals under 1200. I'm saying all of this because I don't want anybody to panic seeing my menu on ADF days. Exercise wise I have kept up with 3 days cardio (5 miles wog/jog) and 3 days of weight training.
  4. There is more going on but don't wanna do an info dump.

QOTD: across the street, yes. Next door on the right, no. On the left, meh.

My meals yesterday (ADF)

  • B: fast
  • L: premier protein + coffee
  • S: premier protein + coffee
  • D: Tuna pouch + 1 hb egg
  • Total = 460 cals
  • E: bike ride on the beach + 45 minutes elliptical

Missed you guys and happy to be back! Mwah!
