To the END


Over the last several years I've vacillated between being "obese" and "over weight", never making it to "normal". After I lose a good amount of weight - 30 lbs. or so - I find something in me resisting; and I get obsessive about food --- eating, eating, eating until I've gained most (or all) of the weight back.
It is time to get to a normal weight NOW and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The body parts are starting to creak and rebel for what I am putting them through.

It is time to get to a normal weight NOW and maintain a healthy lifestyle. The body parts are starting to creak and rebel for what I am putting them through.
As of 8/1/19 I have been trying intermittent fasting - doing a 24 hour fast two days a week. Already I am seeing nice results on the scale and in my bloodwork.

    Hello pretty lady! I was born and raised on Cape Cod, Falmouth, and our daughter, SIL, and grandkiddos actually live in the house my parents built in the 50's, where I grew up.

    We left MA, just over a month ago and moved 1500 miles away. It may seem crazy, but for my husband and I it was definitely the right move. Our kids can easily visit us, and we will visit them too, once the crazy virus is over.

    Stay safe, stay healthy, and hope to see you on the sites. Feel free to check out my page. Thank you.

    My birthday flirts with Easter so I understand how you feel having yours near Thanksgiving. My niece was born just before Christmas and has always felt cheated. Her parents make sure they make a big deal out of her birthday every year, always with gifts that are for her birthday, not Christmas.
    Happy birthday to you. emoticon

    I haven't found too many Sparkers doing intermittent fasting or OMAD so I would be interested in comments from someone doing it. Thanks.
