Update: We Interrupt This Fast With Breaking News ...

Okay, "life happens." Friday morning my friends pulled out and headed for Wisconsin. I was sad but I was fine with it being a fasting day.

An hour later I got a call from school saying the grandkid was being suspended from school again. Oops. I gave it a few hours but finally decided I didn't want to deal with my first all-day fast in over a month on the same day I was coping with family drama. So I ate, but what I DIDN'T do was my traditional "drive to the store, buy a shopping cart full of junk and binge" routine.

On Saturday, I ate but delayed my main meal until 2 pm; I actually ate a little less than usual so I do feel I'm back in weight-loss mode even though I haven't fasted yet. The plan for today is to eat at 4 pm and take another stab at fasting on Monday. Sunday would normally be my no-limits day but since I didn't fast Friday I've changed it to a moderate day.

There's a family meeting planned for Tuesday and it will probably be helpful to be in a fasted state for the meeting as it makes my mind very clear.

Some days it's easy to sympathize with female cats who eat their young ...

Happy New Year! Go Badgers (Wisconsin)

Hope you're having/had a great holiday! I'm still working on my next post, but here are a few holiday pics:

Not Watching the Game

Fun Is Not Spelled "Food"

Ah, the joy of a holiday morning.

I can catch him--he did!

I surprised my grandson with a stocking of goodies, trinkets and a gaming chat-set although I think I got a better happy reaction from him with the home-made eggnog. He's hooked for life!

I shared the eggnog with some friends yesterday and I'm lucky to be friends with such enjoyable and wonderful people.

Puff of Smoke

Buzz Lightyear

Each of my 2 kitties got a catnip toy and some catnip to roll in, so we're currently having a wild kitty rodeo. They are ROWDY!

Taco (head dog)

Pippen

The 3 toy dogs each got a squeak toy with 2 slices of dog jerky. They campaigned for 3, but then they gave up and played with their toys.

Bailey the Beserker

I'm sipping on eggog myself and I've resolved to never buy another container of store-bought because it just doesn't compare to organic milk/cream, organic eggs and real vanilla (plus a little sugar, of course--it is a holiday after all.)

Life is good when you're eating in a way that makes you feel good and you can share good energies with others.
