Intermittent Fasting

I haven't tried intermittent fasting, so I think I will try that. I will do the 16/8 plan (although women can do a 15/9 or 14/10 plan and still lose weight). By doing a 15/9, which is what I am going to try, I will essentially not be eating after 6 in the evening, which is my worst time and will be my greatest challenge.

Today, I started at 8:50, so I hope to stop eating at 5:50. I am such a breakfast person that I don't think I can do an 11-7 or 10-7 plan on a regular basis.  I wonder if I have to stick to the same 9 hour schedule each day or if I can mix it up on days I want to eat a little later (going out to dinner). I'll do some research.

I have tried keeping a food journal, joining a gym, and counting calories. I have not been successful.

Goals for today:
Read
Play solitaire
Clean the dining room
Clean the kitchen
Put away my clothes
Put summer clothes in Lauren's room
Start taking the tree down

That sounds like enough.
