Today a few people on the outside periphery of my little circle popped up Covid positive today. STAY BACK. I don’t care to see the erosion of the safety I treasure here in my properly disinfected bubble. The Sps works outside the home, which I hate. He has a job that can be done from …

I kicked ass yesterday and today. I completed a 25 hour fast. It actually was far easier than my usual fasts. I shoot for completing an 18/6 intermittent fast, pushing for a 20/4 if it works with the day. This time, I ate all my calories between 10 and 11 AM and didn’t eat again …

I challenged myself to menu plan and follow through with eating vegetarian for a few days in a row, instead of scattering a vegetarian day between meat, pork and poultry days. Per the diet we loosely follow, a frankenstein DASH/Mediterranean/MIND plan, we have already cut red meat down to one-two days a week and we …

New Task, involving Excel spreadsheets. Sounds SO DANG EXCITING. Actually, for OCD (diagnosed, not hyperbole) list makers like myself, it is almost cheating. I tracked different aspect of my life by spreadsheet before and I already had a template I used before. Going into updating the spreadsheet, it hit me how much in all our …
