    Yeah, I’m technically also doing CICO, I’ve just added a grams of protein target too, which is really more of a guideline much like the pirate’s code. But when it’s 6PM and I’ve hit 60-70% of my calories already, and I’ve spent the day bashing my head against an immovable object, that leftover pint of ice cream that will leave me feeling full for all of 30 seconds sure does look like a great use of my last few calories and then some. 😅

      I kind of accidentally started intermittent fasting. Never ate much breakfast, got really busy for a while. I ended up eating one big meal late afternoon. My kids eat early, and after cooking and the late meal I’m just not hungry. Now I can’t even eat a big meal (usually). 30 lbs down and most of the time it hasn’t felt like a sacrifice at all. I eat whatever I want for about 4 hours.

      Oof… I feel that my friend… I try so hard not to exercise for the calories… but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Stay strong! 🤘🏻
