TOM PETTY!

Tom Petty was AMAZING! We were 2nd Row! I took the above photos from my seat and you can see how close I was to Tommy! The show was so great and the audience was awesome. The crowd had great energy and was really loud and happy but there were no problems and no one pushing and shoving which was nice. There was every walk of life at the show from the 10 year old boy in front of us in the front row with his parents to the 90 year old grandma who was front row center and danced the entire two hours! It was such a great night.

I have been doing well with my fasting schedule, I can do it in my sleep now, never think about it. The only struggle I am having is cutting back on the amount of food I am eating during my eating window. I really love food and find it difficult to cut back on the portions I have. I am still doing well on the scale but haven't seen the big drops that I saw in previous months, 2Lbs, 4Lbs and so on. Now I average about half a pound or a pound per week. Some weeks I stay the same.

I know that now that I am smaller I need to reduce my food intake to get to the next level. I will do my best to cut out little bits at a time.

I find the evenings are now so easy for me. I never think of food. The mornings are the only time that I have any struggle as I am usually hungry at about 10 am. But I just tell myself that in two more hours I can eat my lunch and then I usually just put my mind to something else and the time goes by.

Today I broke my fast with a BIG salad consisting of: Spinach, Lettuce, carrot shavings, cabbage, corn, feta cheese, egg, cucumber, tuna, sesame seeds, croutons and penne pasta topped with balsamic vinaigrette dressing. I also had a small whole wheat bun and some onion rings. For a snack I had plain almonds, a bran bar, a banana and some gummy bears. Later I had some chocolate.

Happy Fasting!
