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. :)

I doubled up until 8 1/2 weeks to 400mg.  *Lovenox 40 mg every night due to recommendation from Dr Hamersley *Vitafol OB prenatal with iron added  *** Vitamin B6 and Unisom. 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 ...

Never enough

I honestly wish people knew how hard it is for single parents to do basically anything. Getting out of the house, getting everyone to bed, getting free time to my own... all require a lot of coordination and there is NO backup. There is no one to fill in when I'm sick or to step up when I just need 5 minutes or to tell me I'm doing a good job when everyone's asleep and the house is so quiet.  I feel like a failure in so many parts of my life; that I'm just not following up enough, I'm not doing enough, I'm not appreciative enough. It's just never enough. 🤷🏼‍♀️
