After 50 years of never missing breakfast and believing that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, it's come as a huge revelation to me over this past week to realise that I'm not really hungry when I first wake up and I'm finding it very easy to work for three or four hours before I need to eat.
I do still have my morning coffee but I'm trying to figure out a way to have that later, too. Short of taking a french press to work with me I can't see it. It certainly doesn't taste as good if I mske it early and have it from a flask later.
So in this past week I've been fitting my usual 3 meals into the 8-hour window and staying within RDI. However, I'm realising that I don't actually feel like I need that much food and it's just habit. I think the lunchtime sandwich will be the next to go - I'll be more than OK with some fruit and maybe a few walnuts or almonds. That will be the goal for the next week and it will be interesting to see if my energy levels change when I cut out bread. I'm a bread fiend but I've long thought that it weighs me down and makes me sluggish, just couldn't find a way to give it up and not feel deprived.

Going well this week, sticking to the 8-hour window and no alcohol. Feeling more alert and energetic already.

OK. It's time. 'Fess up, come clean, take stock and start over.
This time I really did let go of the reins and to my huge disappointment let my weight creep up over the 60 kg barrier that I said I'd never cross again.
Who knows, really, why we (I) behave like this? Self-sabotage, but knowingly, really. Knowing that I was gaining, I kept on with the daily beer, the daily ice cream, etc.
So, at last the cause of the damage is penetrating my foggy brain and since yesterday I've been back on the path. 8 hour window yesterday, no alcohol, no snacks, no evening eating. I feel more alert already!
The same today - it's just after 11 am and I'm about to have breakfast. Lunch is in my bag a soup and omelette with salad ready for early evening.
The goal is to get back to goal by Christmas. Here goes...

gaining 1.3 lb a week

Still the same but I expected it really. I still can't say I'm in the groove but there are many other things taking priority over signing in here and logging food. I'm keeping tabs mentally, and although I know full well it's not as effective as daily logging, it's enough to stop me gaining which is OK for now.
I'm working really hard, number 1 daughter is moving to İstanbul and starting university while number 2 daughter is moving back home from Ankara and enrolled at the school where I work :) These major changes in our home life take up a lot of time, on top of which this is the time to move back from summer house to winter house and that also requires a lot of mental and physical energy.
Let's just say it's OK for me to be maintaining at the moment. I may enrol in a gym for the winter months to do some strength training but that won't be until school hours and workload are more settled, probably at the start of October.
Meanwhile I'm still walking regularly and the occasional swim in the sea although it's quickly getting colder since September arrived.

Still not really, fully tuned in but working more on damage limitation - making sure I don't gain.
