Day 1303 1st November 2023 already?!? 😂

I actually drove home through a perfect autumn storm.

All the trees have really turned in the last few days. The roads home were avenues of red, orange and yellow. ♥️🧡💛

It’s been an awful weather day today. It’s rained so much and the wind picked up as the day went on. Bertie Beetle was slapped with orange, red and yellow leaves all the way home. It was raining and swirling autumnal leaves. 🍁 🍂🍁🍂🍁

It was really dramatic. The sky was dark navy blue, heavy with rain but there was light that highlighted the colours of the leaves… jeez who even am I these days?!? I have no photos so I have to be descriptive!

I can’t believe it’s November already…. Where has the year gone?!?

I’ve been awake since 4.52am and went into work early as I still have so much to do. I got a fair chunk of it started today which is something. It was a another blast of a day that disappeared in a heartbeat.

So some of the many dogs that we seem to have, seem to be moulting again… Craig’s just brushed Freya….

How can she even have that much extra hair?! I don’t remember two winter moults before but hey… they seem to come as a surprise to me every time they start moulting. 😂

So…. I’ve made a lovely dinner and scoffed it all up and am seriously thinking of trying an extended fast this weekend…. I’m putting it out here and I may not manage it. I feel super positive about it. I’ve read up on it, watched YouTube videos and am well aware of what to expect…. And I’m still going to try it.

Today I was asked why….. I’m not sure I have any idea, really. I just want to. It feels right. I usually want to shove everything in my mouth 24 hours a day. Time limiting it means that I can take control of my calorie intake. I have a lot of willpower when I put my mind to something. I don’t give in easily.

So who knows what this might bring. I might say all of this and cave at lunchtime tomorrow.

Please don’t worry about me as this is very good for your body. My body can cope, it knows how to manage this. Our bodies were built for periods of famine and feast..

It’s just my head that will hurt. It’s the brain that tries to tell you otherwise.

I promise if it gets too much I will stop.

I have a very quiet weekend planned with a list of things that I can catch up with in the house so I’m not putting myself through too much.

One day at a time and just see how it goes.

Stay safe everyone 🍁🍂🍁
