Doing what feels right

in #health7 years ago

I HATE to say that I broke my alternate day
fast but I needed to refuel and get more nutrition. It was a breeze until the other day when I was extremely hungry on a fast day. I'm going to try and listen to my body right now and eat when I'm hungry instead of going 40:8 which I had been doing for a little while. So far I love the results, on the scale I've gained but in the mirror I finally broke a very long stall.

For those who haven't been following along I have skipped eating at least 15 of the last 30 days. Some days I could have gone more than the 40 hours I'd gone without eating without a problem and other times I was so ready to eat that I broke a fast with too big of a meal and/or lots of fatty coffee and almost ended up with disaster pants a couple times.

The local Halal meat market has the best meat I've ever had other than what I get right from a cattle farmer. The Lamb hearts were absolutely amazing and I'll definitely be getting those again and I'll be trying tongue next time. The Lamb and Beef sausages are the best sausages I've ever had before. The steaks are excellent and so was the ground lamb. I'm so happy I found this place and how helpful they were.

On top of eating all that I've also finished up some salmon and shrimp I broil in butter and HWC and then top it with mozzarella & parmesan cheese.

I also finished up the last of the grass fed beef summer sausage which I love to cook in the oven with some bacon in a cast iron skillet and make a quick and easy cheese omelet.

Then I top it with some mozzarella cheese.

Broil it a few minutes to crisp the cheese.

It serves up nicely and it is perfect for when you're on the go and it tastes great reheated.

I purchased this used through the facebook marketplace and I give it 5 stars for doing exactly what I need it to do and shred cardboard for bedding for my worm bins.

I also got a 4 gallon sprayer.

I'm using it to moisten the bedding.

I'm using it to water my lemon tree.

With still freezing temperatures at night I'm still trying to get the compost pile to heat up using some of my homemade nitrogen elixir (urine).

It was recommended that I make more tubes for the BSF but I just have the one tube for the larvae to climb up and out, which isn't sufficient for saving a lot of larvae but I only had the one drain hole going through the metal tub and I'm more interested in the compost and the tea.

If I can get some of the larvae to go into the bucket and if the others end up on the ground I can pick them up and feed them to my quail...

...but I don't think the amount of quail I plan to have are going to eat a whole lot of them nor do I think there will be much of a market for them. It's a great experimental project none the less and I can't wait to see it in action.

I'll keep you posted

You have some really good stuff that hasn't receive much love.. I know Steemit can be hard to get noticed on I'm still trying myself.. I've given you a follow. I've been on Keto for the past 6 months and I see a lot of your content is on eating meat and fasting.. Both topics I'm into right now.
