The FastDay Forum

Ok, so I've not had a proper fast day for a few weeks now, I'm fairly ashamed of that but somehow life got in the way. I could make all the excuses in the world, holidays from work, houseguests, going back to work, too tired, exams coming up and troubled by lack of concentration on fast days... the truth is it hasn't worked as well for me as I'd hoped and I know that's because of something I'm doing, like eating too much on fast days, or not doing, like exercise.

Thing is I'm actually missing it I'm astounded by that, truly astonished!!

So here is my promise,to myself more than anything. I am getting back on track. It wont be immediate, I need to concentrate on an upcoming exam and then figure out where I was going wrong before, but I will be back.

We're all here, take your time.

Yes join in all the fun when you're ready to come back to us all

Good on you Phoenix!

I'm going through a bit of a similar thing with a major assignment to hand in tomorrow, which means that I have not been fasting twice a week as I intended to, and I've overeaten on feast days. I'm planning on doing my second fast day tomorrow and then back to normal exercise wise from next week!
