Greetings from Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia!
I'm on vacation, so I'll keep this succinct: Please do share your ups and downs, fitness-wise and/or otherwise. I will be around and checking in now and again, so you will not be whispering into the void. :-)
Last week was prep for the trip and cleaning the house and then three days on the road before arriving here late Saturday night. I got what exercise I could at rest stops, etc., but trying to eat on the road was a huge challenge and involved some junk (though not as much as would have been involved had I not been doing IF). I have had to compromise the IF schedule for a bunch of reasons, and I'm okay with that. Starting yesterday, our first full day here, we got a TON of exercise hiking, so I'm not too upset about food choices, which include oatcakes, for example, delicious but not light. ;-)
My plan for the rest of our trip is to eat as I like but be mindful of my body's signals, to get lots of good outdoor exercise, meditate/pray/breathe (lot of that already--the view from our cabin's deck is spectacular), hydrate, and sleep well and deeply.
I hope the week ahead is a good one for you, friends!
