The FastDay Forum

Hello fasting world. I'm in today. I've already walked around the block x5.5, weeded in the front garden for 30 minutes, picked a big basket of broad beans and a smaller basket of snow peas, done the kitchen and listened to 2 programs of Background Briefing: one about radicalised young muslim Australians and one about freezing women's eggs. So I am feeling ahead of the game, so far. One black coffee and a black Russian Caravan tea. Lamb back straps for dinner with home grown broccolini. Hope you all have a good fast today and I'll catch up later to see who is in. xxx

Happy gardening @sallyo and happy fasting. You seem to have a great garden with lots of produce. We had some broad beens this year but all is finished. waiting for couple of zucchini flowers to give something. I am fasting today and will have some BBQ chicken from yesterday left overs with some broccoli.

Where is everyone today? It is Monday after all! @Sallyo what a busy day you've had today. Sounds great!

Hello - yes I'm with you today too. Cold and frosty in the UK so a cup of light soup will be needed along with tea and coffee to get me through the day!
Good luck and hope it's successful. (Well done SallyO for doing so much, keeping busy seems to help me too)!

This is the beginning of week 4 (since returning) for me... I have a quiet day today, apart from a driving lesson later, so I'm going to have to invent lots to do - probably won't take much inventing actually, there's usually something that needs doing!! Roast garlicky chicken with broccoli and cauliflower for tea, big fat yummers

I'm here as usual for a Monday. Good weigh in for me today - under 11 stone and hopefully heading downwards again at last. The chest injury I suffered last week is still plaguing me, not too bad during the day but I am having to take ibuprofen each night. I've decided to skip aqua until it is more settled. Trying to do more walking instead as that is fine. There is stuff that needs doing in the garden but it looks cold out there......

I'm in today too - only managed one 5:2 day last week, so I'm trying to be strict this week! It would be good to get a couple of good weeks in before the christmas eating season disrupts things (I plan to take 3-4 weeks off 5:2 altogether over xmas/new year as I did last year).

to everybody who is fasting today.

Checking in! This is my second fast day (I did my first yesterday). Tis gonna be brutal but I like putting 2 fasts together every now and then.

I'm in - energised by a new lowest-for-years weight yesterday (not a post-fast day) & wondering if another may appear post-fast tomorrow. You never know! Good luck all.

Wow. Well done! How long have you been on the 5.2 for?

I'm in today, had my black coffee and pot o' green tea is steeping. Due to the biggest eating day of the year on Thursday (American Thanksgiving), I'm switching to Friday...I'll sure need it then!

That's me done, I wolfed my dinner down! Kitchen closed now, so it's time for a bit of escapism in the soaps, and celeb jungle that's a lot of Guilty pleasuring going on hope those who are still going are going well

I hope you all had a good day. That's the first time in 2 years I've bean forced to leave my fast day due to fffrrreezing weather/office. Brrr .. I'm nice and snug now and on it tomorrow. Keep it going, those out west
