The FastDay Forum

Yes, we Aussies will start moaning re the cold. It is 10C here but feels like zero! Which is still warm compared to upper NH winters I know.

(Just taking a break from the essay... Progress is v slow... )

Judio, so sorry to hear your news.
I have had a tension headache since last night. Had to drive across town to somewhere I had never been before. The traffic was crap and it was raining! Feeling a bit better now but not in the least bit hungry. Good day for fasting!

I'm in for a sort of half fast. I'm having dinner at my friends' and I'll have a regular dinner, maybe even a glass of wine, just no dessert. I'll have 400 calories left at that point, so I won't go too far over hopefully…

my last fast was a bit of a train wreck. I had less than 100 calories by dinner time, so I just had spinach for dinner. But I had a great day at the beach and a good swim, so I was happy anyway!

I'm in today after a weekend with eating way too much! It will be good to fast today.

Sorry about the cat Judio, they are family to me and it always hurts.
First fast of the week for me too. Ate too much over the weekend but a lot less than I used to.
Have already sorted animals and chooks and Mr Bob, done ironing and washing now ready to go on the line. Spring here and sun is shining! Lots planned to keep me busy and away from food! Will call in again later to see how we are all doing.

I'm not sure. I am driving to Devon in a while to visit my mother. Not sure I can do a 5 hour ish journey without eating.
Sorry to hear about your cat@Judio

Sorry for your loss @Judio. Always hurts to lose one of our pets.

@gigi55 i think we just about hit 18 C with a cold wind yesterday too but we were enjoying it up here!! lol

One coffee down for me and the water with lemon juice lined up. I have replenished my Marigold bouillon (16 cals) so will be having a few of those today and try and have a good week this week!

Well that's the plan.

Good luck Monday Minimalists!!

5:16pm. Seriously starving. Watching Hugh Fernley Wittingstall on telly. Excruciating!

@Sallyo stop torturing yourself!! I'm sure tonight I'll be watching some cooking show whilst salivating. I do have to watch The Voice as we know two of the singers who get through the blind auditions.
Hurry up dinner time, so want to eat.

I had to contend with the warm scent of french fries, good thing I was driving, I dont do well with food while driving. Dinner was not far after that anyhow.

Fast down without a hitch.

Sorry about your beloved Judio

I'm well and truly in. Have gone up 3 pounds since yesterday I blame it on the wine, the bowl of cereal and the Angel Delight. Yes, I know, I'm gonna have to cut them out if I wanna reach 10 something. Getting blimin frustrating now, though, I can tell you!

Sending you hugs @Judio. Its so hard losing your loved ones, furry or otherwise. xxxx

Patience bean patience. I'm 16.8 again today, so with you for a fraction of the day.

I'm in. It's a Bank Holiday here so doesn't feel like a Monday.
Sorry about your cat Judio x
Happy fasting everyone x

Blimey, your weight's shot up @Carieoates!

sorry, couldn't resist (tee hee! )

Yes I am in today. Just peppermint tea. Sad about the cat dying, strange but I am waiting for my DH to get home with our new rescue cat which we have adopted, he's a ginger cat, only a baby, we have called him Lucky Tiger, lucky for short. Just thought I'd share a happy cat story! Good fasting all X
