The FastDay Forum

I am in today. I'm off to truro to do a coffee mornings worth of 5 mani or pedi treatments. That'll keep me busy until 3.30ish. Then home to sort out ka and perhaps do a bit of sewing later.
Good luck Monday fasters xxx xxx

How is everyone going today? 5.15pm here so I can eat soon and boy am I looking forward to that

Thanks @Candicemarie, I'll do that later, dashing off to work .........

Absolutely starving thank you @wineoclock. So hard when it's cold! I COULDN'T get out of the house. Right about 3.30 I said to the OH, who was suffering the same problem, 'let's go out together and clean up the asparagus patch.' So we did. Weeded, cut back, spread sheep manure and pigeon manure and then covered it in straw. Meanwhile, along comes the neighbour and asks us if we like mushrooms. He's on his way home from work. He goes home and comes back with a huge bag of mushrooms which he has grown from mushroom compost. So now I am making a pumpkin, mushroom and red onion frittata with a rocket salad. Pumpkin and rocket from the garden and mushrooms from down the road. It won't get much better than that, but it can't come soon enough for me! I am sitting on my hands so that I don't crack and have a mini-pigout on nuts while I wait.

I'm in today - I have managed to put 2kg on since last week which is utterly depressing. I went out for afternoon tea at Betty's in York on Sat with a friend and it was scrummy but really carby (dainty little sandwiches and CAKE) and then yesterday me and my OH (who's also 5 2 ing) polished off a leftover Easter egg between us which he found in a cupboard. He's lost 2.7 lb this morning - gah!!! So I have only myself to blame because today I feel like a complete SLUG but I just couldn't seem to stop eating yesterday. So this week WILL be better. If I can just get back to 63 something by Thurs (my weigh in day) I will be happy.

Blimey 6 months @lizbean my fellow bean? Where an earth did the time go?!!

I'm in today (well, at the moment I am). I've bean so naughty lately and definitely not in the right mind set. I will do my utmost to refrain from eating until this evening when I thought I might have an egg salad! I know how to live

Have a great day everyone

Bean

I m in for today, this is my third week ( I think) and this is the first day I haven't really "worried" about a fast day. Its just another day.

I am in today as well, with the other half of Saturday's courgettes creamy soup planned for dinner tonight

I will be a lot selfish and say this : I love our crappy Summer beginning. Really. It's way easier when it's cold(ish) outside, for me, to fast properly. I hate cold soups (I tried a while ago) and don't see myself eating warm on a hot day.

I have a question, do you know if you can brew a green tea to make an ice tea ?

Yes I'm in today, nice + sunny for us.
@sallyo That is so cold, I'm off out for a good walk to keep the hunger monster at bay

Happy half fastiversary@Lizbean

I don't like hot summers either Manderley. As for the green tea, I see no reason why not. Green tea is used as a flavouring for ice cream so...

Good luck!

@nursebean I recently made green tea icecream, well yuck I won't do that again

I'm in too. No plans other than to eat lots more protein tonight. Good luck today's fasters. .

I'm in today. I went out for lunch at the local Harvester restaurant yesterday with my grandparents it was lovely but need a fast today. Just been for a jog and now going to tidy up as the man is coming to survey our windows ready to put in new ones. Very excited about that and of course there's the Murray Match later on at Wimbledon today.

I'm in too, but have been so busy painting, I forgot to log in. Hope yout fasts are going well.

I have just put down my paint brush too. Trying to brighten up the bathroom by covering the bare pink plaster with white emulsion! Keeps me out of the kitchen!
