The FastDay Forum

I'm in today too. I've made it through to lunch with just green tea. Feeling good but my little one needs lunch so I might have a miso soup while she eats or she'll try to share her sandwich with me!
Hopefully after that I can last through til dinner.
Have a great day Monday fasters

I am in too. So begins week 2 back. Just had my breakfast black coffee and will have the light version of Spanakopitta that was in the newsletter yesterday. It is a favourite with me but Imusualy make it with puff pastry. Had never though of using filo and as I have some in the freezer it is all systems go. Will fly round shortly feeding and letting out chickens and ducks. Quick hunt for duck eggs which are always buried in the straw then try to get washed and dressed quietly as P is still alsleep...bless him! Then off to feed daughters cats on my way to Monday market where I meet friends for coffee. I aim to stay out of the house as much as possible on fast days. This afternoon I will visit an elderly friend and take her out on errands.
Will call in to see how everyone is doing. Stay with it and think of how good you will feel later.

I'm in, week 3 for me, did ok at the weekend and have been for my morning run so am currently pretty hungry, off to get a nice ginger tea for breakie as I have the early stages of a cold, I'm presuming it's fine to take painkillers during fasting?

Must work out how to tag people. Sallyo, those grandchildren are delicious, aren't they? Such a joy!

@suefromsydney to tag someone, there's a button above the top right of the text box, quite close to the smilies! x

Strains of the Song of the Volga Boatmen - today is one of my usual 4:3 days

Good Luck to all of today's fasters.

I have the early stages of a cold, I'm presuming it's fine to take painkillers during fasting?

Look after yourself and if it's a common preparation that suits you, there's no reason to forego the pain relief.

Hi all
Fasting today managed with a cup of soup for lunch and about to have vege frittata for dinner. Best fast I have managed for quite a while so feeling very chuffed with myself

I'm in as usual on a Monday. Good luck to all.

First chance to get online today. Great to see you here @Maggiee, and quite a few newbies too

I am again aiming for a (almost only) fluids fast. So far so good. Will have miso soup when the others have dinner.

Like several other of today's fasters, I ate excess on the weekend. Why don't I stop myself from doing this? (A question that I have posed frequently over my time on this forum.) Overeating means that today's fast is needed just to repair that damage, and so won't be of any help in shifting that little bit that I am over goal. Grrrr!!

Well done to Sallyo and others who mentioned that they kept their consumption in check over the weekend.

Successful fasting everyone!

I'm in today, just having fizzy water until about 3pm, when I'll have mini vegetarian roast with heaps of steamed veg and a burger, and more fizzy water in the pub tonight. Looking forward to putting in a good fast today, last one before end of Springing into Fall Challenge. Good luck to fellow Mondayers, and thanks to @ karenm for the tagging advice. Practicing now .

Yes I'm in willingly fasting today another Determination Day
with you @CandiceMarie let's make it a good one

Blimey, theres a few more of you in here today than there was on Saturday!

I'm sort of fasting today. I had everything planned...and then plans got in the way! I am taking my aunty out to the cinema today to see "Lucy". We always like to go out for a meal afterwards. Today was supposed to be a proper fast so I won't eat until this evening...BUT I'm a tad on the worried side that I'll go crazy and have pudding. Hey ho! At least I've cut wine out

Good luck today everyone. The fasting is easy...but what about tomorrow?!!

hello PeonyBlue am def fasting today had a really over indulgent weekend, weighed a whole kg up on the scale from Friday today so me and my bod need the fast today.

I'm in today, although I'm maintaining I still Ike to fast one day a week. My server has been playing up so haven't managed to get into forum so regularly. Mondays are definitely fast day for me.

Me too! Gosh,its a chilly morning in Blighty with sun and blue blue skies. Must keep moving to keep warm, right after this second cup of black decaff coffee :0)
Hoping for a tuna salad at 7pm but if I'm too cold will change it to warming soup.
Good luck everyone.
