Canesister's 2025 journal - Bushel & Peck Farm

Heavy frost here, ice on water. Youngest GD went outside with me, stomping icy puddles and I gave her a rake handle to break ice for sheep.

I was a puddle stomper!

Eva update.
I spoke to the AI tech this morning. The best bits of Mr. Polled Hereford will be here for her heat in Feb.
So hopefully a little baldy (maybe even a brindle??) expected around Thanksgiving.

Finally decided that I'd better make sure I could get up & down both hills on the driveway. Ran to the store.... time for that 'January diet' to get started .
I paused just on the farm side of the bridge & got a pict of the tire tracks in the snow. I had thought that 2 days in the 40° range would've made more of a difference....

I know it's a little early - but that would make a nice Christmas card.

Still no bellowing or pacing from Eva. Maybe the COLD temps have thrown her off a few days??

I've spent the last couple of months just winging-it about my diet. Having my main meal at midnight still just feels weird. Leftovers, fast food, some very questionable combinations of whatever I scrounge from the freezer & pantry.
Starting with this next 3-night set, I'm ready. Sliced apples & mandarin oranges as snacks. Smoked sausage & roasted tomato curry over pasta for my main meal.

Has anyone heard of a lady named Amanda Rose? She has a few books out taking about intermittent fasting & somethings she calls the Ridiculously Big Salad & Really Big Skillet. I followed this for a while several years ago & had some success. It might fit better in my life now that I'm on such a different schedule. We'll see.

I have read that if you keep all your eating within an 8 hour period it will help you lose weight and will help your health.

And leave me to starve the other 16 hours???? LOL If cream and honey in my coffee counts as food, I’m doomed.

It can be anywhere from a 4hr window to a 8hr window. You're supposed to 'find what works for your body' . My problem is that I barely finish one meal before in thinking about what's next.
I think I can pull it off on work days, there's built in structure & limits... but the off days
