Ugh. This is a setback. I ate too much, too late yesterday. My last feed was VERY high in calories, and even though they came from on-plan sources, the excessive calories combined with right-before-bed ingestion had this result. Gotta go with some extra will-power and awareness, especially since I am probably going to pack it on on tomorrow's out-of-sequence cheat day.

Daily Comment

Something I am beginning to explore is the idea of intermittent fasting for weight loss and maintenance. It seems this is a current craze, but even a little preliminary research shows me that the idea and concept is very, very old. I keep on remembering the great duelling scene near the end of "Adventures of Robin Hood" when Basil Rathbone's bad guy says to Errol Flynn's Robin Hood that 2 days of starvation have left him weak, and Errol replies that those two days left him lean and quick, while the Sheriff's feasting had made him slow. 

We all know how that worked out.


One of those things that makes you go, "Hmmmm."
