Had some friends over to help say goodbye to a good neighbor who is moving soon. Fresh homemade bread, cheese, figs, olives and really good wine from a little vineyard in Sonoma called Loxton Vineyards.
Everything was delicious.
We visited Loxton Vineyards on a wine tour back in the day when traveling was still a thing and we continue to patronize them because the wine is great and we just loved Chris Loxton.
He has a PhD in physics so he and my husband's innate geekiness and love of fine wines just meshed beautifully.
I remember how I used to calorie restrict and exercise like a maniac for weeks before vacations, usually to little effect, but then during a vacation despite much indulgence of rich foods, wine and desserts, at the end of the week, I would come home and find out I lost a couple of pounds.
I used to attribute it to more activity and less stress, but thinking back, I would have much shorter eating windows!
I would usually skip breakfast because the dinner the night before was so indulgent, have a light lunch and then a rich dinner. Was probably doing a 16:8
My body was telling me what it wanted. Screaming it. But I was deaf to its pleas.
But I'm listening to it's gentle nudges now...
Cheers!
