I am doing Intermittent Fasting for the summer.....it is something that I enjoy doing, and it feels good physically. Lots of health benefits......and I am not doing it to lose weight but to feel better within my day, and it helps me stick to being mindful of what I am eating.....and obviously there will be times I will not be doing it.....special stuff going on this summer, and I plan on entertaining a bunch here this summer:)....but on the other days I will be doing it:) But I decided to go on another fast of sorts for the rest of June and July and into August.....and maybe keep going beyond..I did it last year with success, and wrote about it- and wanted to give it another go! ..I recently went through my closet and got rid of some stuff, but found so many clothes I had forgotten about.....and I really like the clothes I have now.....and I am committing to not buying any clothes for the rest of June and July and part of August and I know yikes right......or shoes.....shoes are my forever downfall.....my whole life.........but my goal is to wear ALL of my clothes! The ones that made the cut.....and that will be like buying new clothes right lol:) I absolutely have clothing for any situation or event that could arise and beyond lol:) And buying clothes is super fun.....but I have more than I need, and lots of stuff I really like.....so in August I plan on taking Mads shopping for school, and maybe I will find one thing then that I cannot live without lol:) But until then I am good.....and I have everything I need for my home now as the renovation completed, and for the kids.....we all have plenty.....and it will be a good place to conserve some.....using my resources for adventures, and for saving for our west trip next summer! So no new clothes for a bit now......and I can do it......and it is interesting to me how much I enjoy challenging myself these days....finding discipline in new places, setting challenges for myself, ME VS. ME.....yesterday I fasted.....ate clean.....did my workout pushing my reps to exhaustion.....20 min of cardio and a minute plank.....that is my new challenge at the end now....and doing step ups daily.....did I mention how much I HATE them lol:) BUT I love the results they bring......great leg work.....so I am doing them daily now.....I have been in full cleaning out mode.....and will keep that going as Mads is still in school......and the discipline helps for sure in other areas, and I try and expand it when I am able.....and the pull to be outdoors is not there due to all the rain......can we talk about this rain......like UGH:(......I love me a good cozy rainy day but this is crazy.....so yea the energy right now finds me tucking in some....mindful, and using all of what I have...exploring my current closet for new outfits and things I haven't worn yet and enjoying it all........my women's series was lovely last night....I loved connecting with those ladies and beginning our journey:) I am so curious to watch the unfolding of it all......have some fence sitting ladies that I hope jump the fence and join us too! Happy Tuesday y'all, stay dry:)
