    Hello, thank you for visiting my Spark journal and leaving a comment.
    IF is Intermittent Fasting (which we all do to some extent, like fasting when we sleep). I started with 16:8, which is 16 hours fasting and an 8 hour eating window. Gradually I've shortened the eating time because it really helped me cut out snacking and grazing, especially late night munching.
    OMAD is one meal a day. Not for everyone, but it's one thing that has really helped me make sustainable progress (60+ pounds lost this year). It helps me limit calories.
    You can find some good information about these on YouTube. I especially like videos posted by Six Miles to Supper and OMAD Revolution.
    Hope you are having a healthy week.

    Thank you for the welcome on the 17DD. I was on it for 7 mos. and was very successful. I found that being wheat free and limiting processed foods eased my CFS and Fibromyalgia symptoms. Too bad I let those foods back in because they are like an addiction. So Monday it's one day at a time for 17days!

    Found this poem while searching for some motivation, hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

    Anything is Possible
    By Unknown

    If there was ever a time to dare, to make a difference, to embark on something worth doing, IT IS NOW.
    Not for any grand cause, necessarily...
    but for something that tugs at your heart, something that's your inspiration, something that's your dream.
    You owe it to yourself to make your days here count.
    HAVE FUN.
    DIG DEEP.
    STRETCH.
    DREAM BIG.

    Know, though, that things worth doing seldom come easy.
    There will be good days.
    And there will be bad days.
    There will be times when you want to turn around, pack it up, and call it quits.
    Those times tell you that you are pushing yourself, that you are not afraid to learn by trying.

    PERSIST.
    Because with an idea, determination, and the right tools, you can do great things.
    Let your instincts, your intellect, and your heart, guide you.

    TRUST.
    Believe in the incredible power of the human mind.
    Of doing something that makes a difference.
    Of working hard.
    Of laughing and hoping.
    Of lazy afternoons.
    Of lasting friends.
    Of all the things that will cross your path this year.
    The start of something new brings the hope of something great, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
