Intermittent Fasting

So I haven't talked about my fasting recently and figured it was time for an update.

I am still fasting 3 times a week from dinner to dinner.  Actually I try to eat dinner by 4pm so that the next day I don't have to fast as late into the evening.  If I am home a.k.a bored then I usually only make it until 2:30 or 3.  I have found that I am not as hungry in the mornings, so even on my eat days I usually don't have a meal until closer to 11am.

The fasting itself has gotten much easier to do, and I am able to keep up my regular exercise routine even on the days that I am not eating.  I do start to wear down as the fast nears its end.

I am pretty sure my metabolism has not been affected at all, or it may be that it has increased.  I have more energy than I have in a long time.  Next Monday makes 6 weeks since I started IF'ing.  I expect to be very close to my goal of losing 5 lbs by Mark's retirement ceremony which is July 7.
