The FastDay Forum

Hi fasters! I'm in today. Just having the black coffee. It's been a rainy night. OH is cooking abalone for tea. 100 calories to 100 grams.

Good morning everybody
Thanks for leading us today @Sallyo - it's been a wild dark and stormy night, with an incredible light and sound show, it's the same this morning, still it's nice to have some Spring rain, the garden is saying 'thank you'

I had a successful Fast last Monday morning, but was not able to do last Thursday as we were away in the Country staying with some friends, but I did keep to my 16/8 routine. However we are going away again in a couple of weeks up North to sunny Queensland and staying with friends in Townsville.
Anyway back doing it all again today thank goodness, have a wonderful day everybody

cheers
Maggie

Hi @Sallyo, Im just on the black coffee too. We were discussing Abalone yesterday, never tried it, is it fishy?
Lamb backstraps and some sort of greenery for us tonight.
Hi @Maggiee just hot here, but possible storms this afternoon. Typical summer weather here.

@wineoclock: Lamb backstraps! Yum! I'm not an expert on Abalone. Someone gave it to us in exchange for some fertilised chook eggs and it's been in the freezer since then. I said to OH that I didn't know how to cook it, so that's why he's doing it. He's an expert. I'll tell you what it's like. Hi @Maggiee: have a good fast there is Melbourne. We needed the rain too. I am hoping my seeds will now come up.

Yep i' m in after ive been to bobos
@sallyo many years ago, i enjoyed some abalone soup
It was delicious even tho i' m not a fish fan!
Good luck you Ozzies fasting and repairing while i sleep!
Lets all have a good one! xx

Usual gang here already I see! Fasting essential for me today - was doing so well last week then a change to my routine led to me eating a whole large bag of flavored corn chips PLUS the desserts I had been experimenting with, even though had already had roast pork with ALL the trimmings and so was not hungry. Why????
Certainly a very wild night - our house shook with the thunder and the rain has been very heavy... Gutters not coping and we have water under the house
Happy fasting everyone!

I'm in. Zucchini spaghettiwith napolitana sauce out of freezer. I'm wondering why it's summer already wineoclock when it's still spring for another 5 weeks! Where are my beautiful 22-24 degree days? Come baaaaacccckkkkkk!

Im in too.... dont normally go into the "fasting today" threads... but maybe i will now as it may help.

It's really lean beef patties tonight... with tomato and onion salad using great tomatoes I got from Joe's fruit market in Wetherill Park (amazing shop)

The patties were from the Peppercorn Food Company stall at yesterday's Western Sydney Food Festival yesterday where i got to meet the famous Costa G. from Gardening Australia. We taste tested his green smoothies.. Very friendly guy is Costa. He was genuinely pleased to hear that we have honey bee hives and make all natural comb honey and that Im turning my grassed verge into a native garden. Got a photo with him and i posted it on my facey. You can see just a "bit of me"

Hi everyone!
Yes it's hot in the inner west of Sydney too today- but I've been for a lovely swim, lucky me.
I've a bit of a woozy head since I had the flu, inner ear I think, so I haven't been on much as being on the computer or phone give me the dizzies! But I wanted to say hello and that I'm still here doing my Monday fast and as many 16:8's as I can manage- sometimes none sometimes 3.
One black espresso and lots of water so far today.
All the best for the Monday Fast,
Gigi

I'll be in once morning gets here. Looking forward to another good week. We had over 250 trick or treaters this afternoon, so even my "backup candy" got used. That's great, because now it won't be around here tempting me. My town always does it the Sunday afternoon before Halloween, so its like a huge street party for the whole day. I tried giving out carrots one year, but it wasn't appreciated

Yeah I wont give any candy.. only red apples.. one year i gave out Mangoes (1 to each kid) as i just bought a big tray. The kids were genuinely delighted. Jamie Oliver would have been proud of me.

I'm in too. I've been steadily putting on weight the past couple of months, and it's super

Gorgeous warm weather, so that's cheering me up, and hopefully we get a lovely big summer storm later.

I Was excited to see rain today as we ran out yesterday and was going to ring the water cartage bloke today. Yay for rain!

Fasting today, must get my days in early or I end up missing my chance.

Good Luck fasters

I'm in today. I'm on blackish coffee (I'm down to half a container of this fake creamer that is so popular in Japan) and Coke Zero. It feels like it will be a tough day today. My tummy is already rumbling a bit.

I'm back in the fasting game!
I've been away for a bit to really get the low carb WOE under my belt. My intention was always to reintroduce fasting once I am used to the low carbing, so here I am.
I haven't lost any weight through the low carbing - but this could be because I've been exercising often. So hoping I can bring back some luck with fasting again. I also love how I feel when I'm fasting - much better.
Any tips on low carbing and fasting much appreciated!
