Intermittent Fasting Details

I'm on Day 4 of fasting and it is going well. I am not struggling with it at this point and to be honest, I feel better than I have in a few weeks! 
My fasting window starts at 7pm and ends at 12:pm although sometimes i go a bit behind. 
My day looks like this: 
  • 6am I have Natural Calm and Benefiber in hot water 
  • Cup of decaf coffee with Vital Proteins and Coffeemate sugar free 
  • Cup of half-caff either in the car or after I get to school 
  • If I am hungry, bone broth at 9am. Drink about 20 oz of water throughout the morning. 
  • 12pm -- I have a smoothie. Right now my smoothie is spinach, 1/4 cup blueberries, 1 tbsp flax seed, 1 cup coconut milk unsweetened, and 1 scoop of Vega one. 
  • I snack on a breakstones cottage cheese afterwards 
  • Snacks could be a piece of cheese, a protein bar, or yogurt and GF bread 
  • Dinner I am trying to prioritize protein since that is my one major meal of the day. 
  • I treat myself to nutella if my macros allow it. I also have sugar free jello on hand. 
  • Herbal tea throughout the day and fasting window as I want it. 
  • Gum to help with chewing cravings. 
I started Sunday and am down three pounds. :)

We considered doing a trip to Jamaica to one of the all inclusive resorts before finally settling on a night in New York City together.  We booked the actual trip the week before. We took the Amtrak from Harrisburg to New York City which was extremely convenient. There is a parking lot just under the bridge from the train station which cost only $6 a day!  We booked a hotel on priceline but in the future I will just book with the hotel directly to use my Hilton honors points.  When we got into the city we went to our hotel to drop off our suitcase and we were fortunate enough to be able to check in early we relaxed for a few minutes before we headed off towards times square and then the world trade center memorial.  While we were in times square we went to the tkts window to get Broadway tickets out of discoun...

My meds, my experience and my faith 💗

I'm not the most eloquent writer but I want to record my experiences and the meds I am taking.  Meds and supplements to prevent a first time loss *Vitamin D due to my deficiency and like between low D and miscarriage * NO caffeine due to limited studies that show some people with caffeine sensitivity are prone to unexplained loss  *Magnesium, by drinking Natural Calm, every morning - recommended by Dr. Sheri Hamersley  *Progesterone 200 mg orally.

I started this at around 8 weeks because of nausea.  Meds I changed and added because of sub-chorionic hemorrhage *After every major bleed I take extra progesterone in the morning.  * I had stopped the B6 at 13 weeks when my nausea subsided. I resumed it at 19 weeks to get to help my SCH heal  *I take additional magnesium to calm my ...
