I'm disappointed to report that I haven't lost anything despite continuing with intermittent fasting, exercising 4-5x/week (yoga/weights/walking), and cutting out processed foods. I'm also eating takeout and restaurant food a lot less frequently since I now have the time and energy to make myself a salad or something else healthy. I don't understand what's going on. My body fat percentage hasn't even decreased as per my Fitbit scale. I took out the peanuts I was snacking on at night (tons of fat and calories) and replaced them with sparkling water and nothing. I'm discouraged.

p.s. I have Hashimoto's and just got my lab work done and all levels are fine and my doctor lets me be on the lower end of fine.

I’m not white. I was the kid who needed a place to do my homework during lunch because my home was chaotic at best and at worst had no lights. But thanks!

Does FCPS even assign homework anymore? I've read extensive articles that homework is racist.

I don’t teach in FCPS. But I don’t think assigning HW is racist. Obviously, a specific assignment can be racially insensitive. And some very young children may not have adults who can help. But I have seen that as much in highly-stressed white MC households as in poor families of color. You might ask on one of the public school forums. I’d rather not hijack this one with a debate on the merits of giving homework.

Thank you. I’ve done this a few days this summer and I think the key for the fall will be toggling my eating window.
