ADF, Day 6: Back to the Grind

I think I like my new ADF schedule.   It is a lot easier to fast while I’m at work, and so far today I’ve had a cup of tea and my vitamins, and that’s it.  I should probably drink more water, though.  I’ll make it a point to do that this afternoon.

ADF, Day 5: Clothing!

Second day of my first weekend.  Believe it or not, I’m already noticing good things. 

ADF, Day 4: WEEEEEEKENNNNND!

It’s Friday, but with my new shifted schedule I have hit my first ADF Weekend!   I’m walking as I type this, so I’m being good.. but today is also, as I promised my kids, Cookie Day… so after I’m done being good I am off to be very bad.  I’ll be making batches of sugar cookies, snickerdoodles, almond pound cake and maybe — dare I say it? — Chex mix!

ADF, Day 3: Keeping Busy…

I feel like I should be a lot further along than ‘Day 3′, but that’s only because strictly speaking this should be ‘Day 5′.  All the same, this was my third day of fasting for this round, and it has, thus far, gone pretty well.  The kids were off of school due to an ice storm, so I empowered Firstborn and Secondborn to make breakfast and lunch, respectively, and I spent the day upstairs, cleaning and wrapping presents.

ADF, Day 2: Soup Glutton!

Ah, eating days.   I admit it: I took full advantage today.   But I will say that that’s part of the charm of this silly diet: the lack of guilt is amazing.   The sense that it’s okay to eat two slices of cranberry nut bread for breakfast because darn it, I EARNED it yesterday…   It’s a nice feeling.

ADF, Day 1 Again: Nothing to it but to do it.

You know, everything in me wants to go back and delete the false-start posts from previous months.  I always start out so optimistic, it’s depressing to see them there once I’ve fallen off the wagon.   I actually logged on today determined to do that, but then I saw that friends had replied to them, and decided against it.  I’m not a child.  Facing my own failure is not the end of the world.

That said, I’m actually back in the saddle.  And this is not a typical First Day Again post, because at this point I’m actually three days into ADD as I post this.  That would make this my second fasting day, so at least this time I have my feet under me already.
