Good Morning FS Family! I have had a great week! A no fuss, no stress fast and a general all around sense of well-being. I dropped 3.5 pounds and since the change of fat to protein ratios, I have less joint pain and more tolerance for chilly weather. Which is a good thing since it has been both wet and cold here this past week! Upcoming celebrations, yesterday was our 38th Wedding Anniversary. We will be going to Statesboro for a steak dinner at Longhorn 🥰. Then we have Thanksgiving, we usually go to Coleman House on Thanksgiving, it's become a tradition for us since I started working at the Post Office. We only get Thanksgiving Day off and I always have to go to Twin City to help with the extremely heavy load of packages and mail that arrives the day after Thanksgiving. I have to be there by 6:30 AM and I stay there till 11 then head for my post office. That leaves very little time for cooking and cleaning so Coleman house puts on an unbelievable spread of traditional Thanksgiving dishes in a buffet style setting, you have to make reservations and they have 3 seatings, scheduled two hours apart. It's a beautiful Victorian Home that has been converted to a BNB and the entire experience is fun, relaxing and best of all, no dishes or leftovers to contend with. I'm going to have a little of everything, I'm going to go overboard, but I should be able to fix the gains on my next fast. So that's the plan, wish me luck! I am going to try to make it through the eating Holidays with as little gains as I can...but there will be gains. If I go off the rails I have promised myself I will come in here and scream for help rather than tackle the struggle alone as is my usual M.O. You guys have a fast-tastic day. Time for some food 😁

LOL! Thanks Erika! I'm hoping it does not blow up in my face, but I'm feeling pretty focused right now, so I'm hoping that everything flys according to plan! There has to be a point where I can eat foods that tend to derail me and enjoy them then immediately go back to fasting. My cravings are most definitely under control at the moment, if I keep my focus and ignore those voices that come out of no-where and say.....EAT EVERY BITE!!! Oddly enough, that voice in my mind is my Mother's voice, which is one of the reasons' why I am a card carrying member of the clean plate club and an adamant proponent of non-wastefulness. Thank all of you for the Happy Anniversary wishes and all of the support

Happy anniversary 🎉 congratulations 👏 on your many happy years. I hope you enjoy your steak 🥩 and take a picture 🖼️ of the fancy Thanksgiving 🍽️ place for me if you do so subtly. It sounds really cool 😎😁. I'll be cooking all night Wednesday night staying up to get everything prepared for the family then I'll be going to work on Thanksgiving to prepare food for all of our customers. Coming home to serve food for our family and of course spending time with loved ones, doing family crafts/watching the traditional movies with Littles, and cleaning up after all of the mess, then passing out so that I can do truck day the next day. Ah, The gauntlet of Parenthood, but Thanksgiving is time and a half and I can't say no to the extra money. The only real frustration I have is that last year it was double time instead of time and a half and the new company (7-Eleven versus Speedway) has reduced all benefits 😔. Still what opportunity comes to Knocking I'm not turning her away. Personally what I do to reduce my calories during the holidays as I freeze additional portions of favorite dishes and then thaw them out a single portion entrees and nuke in the microwave.

Congrats on the anniversary! 🎉 Curious do you think is it the more protein or the less fat that is leading to less pain?

Happy anniversary! I'm from Perry and worked at GA Power for many years. I loved it when we worked in Statesboro, there's so many awesome little restaurants. Enjoy 👍

Drudd I think its the higher amounts of protein, actually balancing all of the different amino acids that the body can't make, that have to come from your diet. Fat is energy and even with the lower fat grams 100 or less, I'm still getting about 50% of my energy from fat. I reduced the fat by 40 grams, increased the protein by 70 grams...since there is a good portion of fats that are included with the increase in protein, I simply reduced the added fats and an increase in fatty fish intake which also fixed an Omega 3 to Omega 6 imbalance I had. It is likely a combination of all of it. The whole thing was a dramatic change. I went from about 50% intake of all required for proper functioning of the body nutrients, to 100% over a two week period, now with my fasting days included, I am at 85% average nutrition as opposed to a dismal 42% with fasting.

Georgia Power! One of my favorite mailers! I don't get to Statesboro often but it is a busting, growing town and waaaay too crowded for my tastes, but the population is not nearly as dense as South Florida where I lived before I moved here. It's 35 miles from us. I hate that they shut down all of the Georgia Power Ancillary offices, but it increased my money order and stamp sales when they did it. It made it harder for the older folks who don't bank to pay their bills though. Technology is great for those folks with the education and means to learn it and use it. For our older generation who used to work primarily in agriculture and left primary education to support their families in the fields...well it's a lot tougher for them and there are more of them than you may imagine. Thanksgiving plans changed, I found out that Coleman House stopped doing the Thanksgiving Celebration when they re-opened after the Covid shutdown. So sad, we did not know because we had Thanksgiving with friends last year. So we are having it with them again this year, they said it was an open invitation for Christmas dinner too. They have a huge family and put on a big spread, but you have to take plates of leftovers when you leave.....it's a rule LOL. But they are great fun and it will be just as enjoyable! Leah_Guffey, The Coleman House Inn has a website with it's history and I believe some of the pictures of the interior. It's gorgeous and I am still disappointed that we won't be going. They still do buffet lunches Tuesday-Friday that are open to the public, but that is the time I head for work and we never get a chance to go. Thank you for your support guys, it means so much!

@debra thanks for sharing that, I was wondering if you found some magic to make pain go away but it sounds like you might have been fixing a deficiency. Happy for you that you’re feeling much better, sad for me that there is no magic 😆

@Ddrudd it is magic for me, I have been eating the way I eat for a while now, I think I was chronically low on Potassium, way too high on my sodium and barely any magnesium. For me the magic pill was being able to look at the entire nutrition panel for a day's intake and see exactly where I was lacking in nutrition. I was super low on most of the amino acids that must come from diet, my bone health nutrients were in the toilet, my fiber was minimal since I don't eat grains, the only place I get choline is when I eat eggs and two eggs is not nearly enough. Like I said, using Cronometer was a serious eye opener for me, I never supplemented except for the AG1 and of course it's mainly vitamins, fewer minerals and micro-protein. So I had to add supplements, foods and change my macros around to stay within my calorie limits and still get the nutrients my body requires, and it seems really happy with it ATM.

YAY!!! Lunch/Dinner out with Hubby was great!!! The only thing I did not factor in, in advance was the Texas Tonion appetizer! It was good, but I only ate about 1/4 of it. Hubby ate the rest, I gave him half of my loaded baked potato and all of the croutons in my salad. The steak was wonderful, I had the 12 oz NY Strip and two kabobs of grilled shrimp.....NO BREAD!! I slid that to Hubby's side of the table, he had a 22 oz steak and sliced up the bread and brought the leftover steak and bread home to make a sammy later :) There were so many people, cars everywhere. I really don't get out often and by the time we got home I was so happy to be back in my quiet, peaceful country estate! LOL, I keep giving it different names....the Mini Farm, the Ranchette, now it's a country estate...whatever it may be called it's actually my little slice of Heaven on Earth and I remember how outraged I was when hubby decided that we were moving here......actually, he moved first, it took me a year and a half to leave South Florida, now 13 years later, I cannot imagine living anywhere else. What a turn-around! Statesboro is actually a mid-sized town compared to other places I have lived, but the NOISE, cars honking, people talking, sirens going off. How on earth did I ever sleep or relax in a place that has that much background noise??
We had a good time, hubby had dessert....I had no room for ANYTHING else. Perfect! I went over on my carbs, did not quite reach my desired protein intake but I'm over 100g, went a tiny bit above 2000 cal, it's all good. No triggers and I am stuffed!

LOL... No, I'm not planning on leaving. For one, I've felt bad about the recent neglect...lol. 2, I just wanted you all to know how much you all mean to me, and how much I appreciate you all. ❤️ I was thinking back on my journey this time thus far, and how many of you have helped shape my thinking & progress. I would never have made it this far without you guys! 🥹 Maybe I was just in a mushy mood this morning, or maybe I'm in the Thanksgiving mood. 🫠 Nonetheless, some of you all really do mean the 🌎 to me! 😘

Same here Zen, it's good to reconnect with ppl who know some of our history and share a common goal, kinda like a homecoming, you guys do the same for me and I am learning more too, from new friends as well as old. I think I am finally turning a corner.....Zen they put a fresh steaming loaf of bread on the table in front of me and I pushed it over to hubby's side and said, that is yours...AMAZING!!!! I did not want to take up all the room that the steak was sure to fill. Then he had caramel cheesecake and I just sipped my tea and enjoyed watching him enjoy it and I resented him not at all!

All of that sounds awesome, Deb! Congrats!!! I'm glad you guys enjoyed yourselves! I live in a rural part of a very small town. We have 2.63 acres, nothing compared to your ESTATE 😂, but I love it here in the country as well.

Ha! I just realized I did not change my baked potato to a half a serving, still over on carbs but it looks better than it did! Zen, our 13.64 acres is too small to be a true farm, but it's too big to be a yard....so I'm trying to find the perfect way to describe it. The livestock use about 5 acres of it but the rest is yard and lovely forrest, hubby hunts on the back 5 which is half 20 year old planted pines and half hardwood. There is a little creek that runs down the property line...I call it Turkey creek because that's where the Turkeys hang out, right up till Turkey season then they pack their bags and leave till season is over. 🤣🤣
