The alternate day fasting (adf) thing is so much harder than just fasting for 4 days. I can't do it on a regular basis. 16/8 fasting was fine and I'm great with that. But I'm better off not eating for 3 to 4 days straight than every other day. It's a lot harder every other day. So next week will be fasting for at least 96 hours maybe more and not adf. This week I'm calling a bust for the fasting and will start fresh Monday. I'll still do 16/8 and my normal woe just not the adf.
I actually bought myself an eating treat this week. Not off my woe but because the price is usually high I don't get it often since I'm the only who eats it here. I got a bag of frozen sea scallops and yummy! I don't usually get anything that's just for me. Hubby and I will split a steak (the boy won't eat them, he microwaves a hot dog instead) and maybe once in a while I'll grab a cheap bag of shrimp on sale but hardly ever something expensive. I have to remember it's okay to treat myself every once in a while. We hardly ever eat out and I cook almost all nights and even when I don't it it will be something I already made earlier (either canned myself or made extras and froze)
I'm starting my garden now (2nd growing season here starting) for some green beans, tomatoes, peppers, and maybe some cucumber or zucchini. The beginning of this year was a bust for me. So I didn't have my garden this year. I had one last year at my mom's even and she hated it. She couldn't see the point. Just buy it she said. But now I'm home with hubby and he's excited for fresh beans. He loves them. Garden beds all prepped and waiting for fresh seeds. I set up my aerogarden to start the tomato seeds when they get here (I wanted Oaxacan tomatoes and had to order) so I can transplant seedlings. I also ordered San Marzano seeds and can't wait to grow and can them. They have to be transplanted also. One of my other aerogardens is already starting the peppers. (I may have an aerogarden problem, I think I have 7 now only 2 bought new)
