I'm not being kind, Kat, diets that are really restrictive in various ways are appealing to me (for limited times. The only way I can diet at all is to know that I am going to stop dieting eventually. Lifestyle changes that last forever are not for me even for obvious and immediate health benefits) so that's one I'll want to consider next time I'm wanting a new diet to follow. Although 7-3 would mean eating only when I am at work during the week, which would be weird but would probably also have side benefits.

I have heard back from my doctor. My blood calcium came back as normal this time, so I don't have to worry about additional testing and possible surgery. Which is nice.

What with not usually getting off work till 6 and the commute getting me home til 7, dinner for me generally falls in the 8-9 range.

Yeah, I wait until Tim gets home, which means the earliest we ever eat dinner is 7 (though occasionally I'll have dinner ready when he walks in the door, but come on, I'm working *too*), but it's usually more like 8.

Yeah, I'm attracted to the time-limited approach but have no idea how is implement it in my life.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My eating is basically time-limited, but always has been, so that doesn't do much for me.

I really need to try to restrict my eating by time. I've a bad habit of taking 3 pieces of chocolate up to bed with me. I read for an hour or so before bed and it becomes mindless eating to shovel those three pieces in my mouth like I'm never going to have chocolate again. Especially since I keep chocolate at work (Hershey's miniatures, usually) and nibble a few throughout the course of the day. It all adds up.

I have a bag of dark chocolate M&Ms by the bed. If my stomach is very empty, I'll have 3 or 4, otherwise I have trouble sleeping.

I vaguely try to only eat between 7-7, but that falls out the window if I'm up late grading. Otherwise it's become the norm for me. That said, I eat pretty much whatever I want between those hours. I wish I were more motivated to take the next couple steps to improve my diet, but I think I've set the bar too high (drop the wine most nights to only rarely, regular fasting) and I just don't want to jump.
Frankly more important right now is getting back to regular physical exercise, which I'm also dragging my tail on for some reason.
I've caught the cold that's been going round the family. bah! Luckily, I have ibuprofen and I'm not afraid to use it, so headache is kept at bay and I can do groceries and go to work.
