So it’s Friday.This is my second day of 18:6 Intermittent fasting. I can’t eat anything until noon. I have not eaten since 6 last night. It just takes a few days for your system to adjust to it. I took Bitzi for a 2-mile walk earlier which is a lot for us these days since winter came. The air was fresh and I felt good. February only has 22 more days I told myself as I was walking. The last couple years I’ve been eating too much, not exercising enough and have let myself gain a bunch of weight. I have an under active metabolism and weak immune system. With this horrible war my adult kids have been in the last couple years since their dad died and left the messed up I feel like I have been stuck in the middle of the shitstorm and have had a lot of heartache and stress and worry over it all. And I’ve been neglecting my health and “comfort’ eating way too much and now I am stuck and have to fix it. I considered trying GLP-1 drugs but because of all my various health issues I was afraid. The drugs have lots of unpleasant side effects and you still have to watch your diet and exercise more so I’m determined to give it a really hard try to lose it on my own. It’s going to take many months, just like it did to pack it all on. Steady and consistent does it. SO today I created a google spreadsheet to track all my efforts and progress. I am trying to set myself up for success. The reward at the end will be better health, better clothes and perhaps I’ll reward myself with a cruise but NOT UNTIL I REACH MY GOAL.
My brother-in-law Pete goes in Monday to have his kidney transplant. He’s been waiting years for it. I will be praying a lot.
Yesterday Mike and I drove over to the newly-open H-Mart in Schaumburg. It was their grand opening and it was pretty busy. I was the one who wanted to go and I should have known better because Mike had started complaining and bitching on the drive over there. So we parked and decided to go in and have a look. The place was HUGE and filled with all sorts of stuff-housewares, groceries, a huge deli and a food court. It was pretty busy and most of the groceries are Korean and so in a foreign language for us. Not everything was Korean but most of the stuff. I just thought it was cook and interesting but Mike started bitching and griping and cussing in his big boomy voice. If I could hear so could the other people. I just eventually got so mad and pissed off I told him we were leaving so I walked out and didn’t talk to him for a couple hours. What an asshole. I told myself from now on I should just go places ALONE and not put up with his grouchy rude bullshit. Unless it has to do with HIS family or something he wants to do he grumbles and pisses and moans. Life is too short to live like that. I’m happier going places alone. I’ve been going on the community bus trips alone the last couple months and really enjoyed them. I do NOT want to get old and pissy and curmudgeony like that. YU CK
