...and what was the result?

Hi, Y'all!

Easter is over now, all the eggs have been searched, found and eaten, and you're probably wondering whether Lent has done me any good? Not primarily spiritually, but perhaps on the scales?

And what can I say? Yup, it worked - 7 pounds in 7 weeks! With Ozempic or Wegovy it might have been more eventually, but that's a whole other book I'd rather not open.

Was it exhausting? No, not really. Was I hungry? Yes, I was, but only for a short while. A sip of water and the stomach growling was history. Did I feel any better? Hm, sometimes I had endless energy at the weekends and did such silly things like sweeping the patio or cleaning the car :-) But I've also had days when I've just gone back to bed after my morning walk with the dog, because I didn't have to make breakfast! 

Will we continue? For the time being, yes! Although I have to say, we're not slaves to the clock now. If we were invited for breakfast, for example, we'd probably eat something. And if we had overnight visitors, we wouldn't force them to wait until one o'clock in the afternoon. But basically we'll carry on, because this intermittent fasting has at least led to us eating smaller portions, and that's not a bad thing in principle. I don't know if we'll lose any more weight now, but I think it's definitely helping us to stop gaining weight drastically. And that's already something, I guess.


With that being said enjoy life to the max!
