The FastDay Forum

I'm in today, not on earlier 'cause couldn't get into the forum...thanks for the reply/fix, Moogie! 3pm here, only water/coffee/tea so far. Will do broth soon...I always try to go 16hrs foodless (I eat quite late, hoot hoot) on fast days. Have been posting teasers re: 5:2 around the net, some with wrong ideas about 5:2--put 'em straight!

Just finished my Monday fast with mixed results. Food part was excellent, 400 cals of healthy food, but downside was getting dragged out to pub on a hot summer's day, and having 2 1/2 bottles of chilled pear cider. Must do better.

WOOT! Finished successfully today, Mom finished her first fast successfully too. We roasted up a mass of veg & some salmon fillets with fresh berries for dessert. Just yummy. Hope everyone has a great rest of today, see you next time.

Easy day today! I had lots to work on and forgot about food until late afternoon.

Then I tried a new dinner using Franks Hot Sauce and chicken tenders. I thought it would taste like buffalo chicken, but it was far hotter than I expected. More like Thai food. Nose and eyes streaming. The bottle had been in the fridge, unused, for quite a while. Perhaps the cayenne all rose to the top. More than excitement than I bargained for.

But I'm glad to be back fasting.

OK; remember when I said I needed to take care of myself on fast days? Well, I made my son some food (right after I had my afternoon yogurt and fruit) and took it over to him (on my way to my walking trail). Came home, showered, stripped and made bed...then made a very nice fast day dinner. Lots of veggies...feeling very satisfied. Much better than Thursday!
