The FastDay Forum

[Tracieknits]

I'm in as well. I don't have the best attitude today, but it will pass. Sigh.

Blew it, in fact. Thanks so much for all the kind messages. I do love the Forum. I ended up having a kind of chicken affair from the hospital cafeteria and then I had a serve of the lovely salad someone had brought in for the OH, and a chocolate. When I got back to the place I am staying tonight I had a big glass of red wine. I didn't beat myself up. It wasn't a proper fast, but as others have said, that isn't the priority at the moment. OH has been diagnosed with heart disease in both sides of his heart. On his left side, he is only pumping at 50% the capacity he should be. His right heart is compromised by his lung disease. Tonight he is undergoing a sleep study and tomorrow he is having a bronchoscopy. I am driving - WHOOO - up to the Mersey hospital to see the orthopaedic clinic and get a final wrist X-ray. We have got hospital meals in place for the week, but calling in the support of the local currency network. lots of love to fasters all over the world.

I am fasting today.
Mrs Restart might be a new member but I am not new to fasting or indeed this forum!
I lost 14kg doing 5:2 between 2013-2014 and then it all went wrong.
I have intermittently fasted since then but the weight is back. All of it.
I can't face my old profile but I do want to revisit here and begin again my weight loss journey.
Good luck to all of you everywhere and especially those who have picked themselves up to try again!!
Have a great day and hope everything is okay for you Sallyo

Also in for a fast today. Last 4:3 week - finding 3 fast days almost counter productive as I am so good during the week, that I make up/relax far too much at the weekend. Glad to be back on 5:2 next week.

@Sallyo good luck from me too.

Hello all, so sorry to hear about your troubles @Sallyo

I'm in, too, for my regular Monday fast. Not sure how it will go, my stomach is calling for food already. Will be heading to the Y soon for my exercise class which I missed all last week. Have to get back into it. Then I'll have a cup of tea or two to get me though the early afternoon. Good luck to all! Glad to see you here as well @Iereamul I know how easy it is to go overboard on the weekends! Hugs to all!

Well hello @Mrsrestart and a big welcome back!

I know just how you feel...as I am a returner too! I now know it makes sense....just wish I hadn't jacked it all in last year...and some of this!

Hey ho though - the important thing is...we're back! Totally understand you wanting a new profile - I am plagued by the assessment that it will take me until sometime in 2017 to get where I want to be....all because I kept the same tracker!! Grrrr and double grrrr.....

Anyway, best of luck to you....see you on the Fasting Today threads hopefully?

Thinking of you loads @sallyo. I would say a nice glass of red would be just the ticket, glad to hear you enjoyed one. Also, hurrah about the driving! Hope all is well with the wrist xx

Best wishes to you both @SallyO.,
I'm in and have had a small prawn salad and some crab sticks to keep the hunger at bay.
Chicken thighs with chorizo and salad for dinner.
Getting hungry again now and been batch cooking for my busier days, looking forward to tomorrow's dinner beef in red wine, it's simmering now. Yum

Ok @MrsRestart, give us a clue. And good luck from me.

I'm in today, still early here, just working on my black coffee. @Sallyo, be kind to yourself, sometimes it's OK to use a little comfort (food-wise)!

I'm also fasting with the rest of you today.
Sallyo: I'm so sorry to hear about all the things you are going through right now with your DH. Try to take care of yourself.
