The FastDay Forum

Thanks for the update on the fire situation Gigi55. Enjoy that wine.

Yes Gigi the smoke is awful. Im at work at the bottom of the Mountains (Emu Plains), theres a lot of smoke here but it was dreadful up home in Warrimoo. Hope son doesnt open the windows or doors and let it in.
What we need is a good soaking of rain.

Hey everyone,
I'm in, better late than never! Unfortunately I'm sick so wouldn't want to be eating much anyway.. vomited last night at about 10PM and still feel dreadful now tummy bug or dodgy seafood I think.
I'm drinking lots of hydrating drinks, not sure of the calories but don't really care the way I'm feeling at the moment if I do go over my 500 with them.
The air is dreadful down here in the CBD, sooo smokey and thick
Stay safe everyone.
Lil

Sorry to hear you're not well LilSmiler. Not a nice way to spend Monday. Hope you feel better soon.

That's no good Lil, hope you are feeling better soon.
Welcome to our new ones today too.
The smoke sounds horrendous, I know what it is like, nasty. Let's hope for rain asap.

Well I have just done an online cognitive test for a job application, interesting doing it on a fasting day! Quite honestly though, I think I would have made a complete horlicks of it whatever the day. It was a horrible mix of, pick the odd shapes out, work out the next number in the sequence, word association (my best one), and the old school favourites. You know the ones, if Phil has six fish, which is twice as many as Sue, and a third of those of David, how long is his fishing rod??!!!

Not holding my breath on that one then!!

At least it took my mind of food for a while though! A shake later if I need it as I find if I assume I will have nothing to eat, I don't spend the day obsessing about what to have!!

Yes O'm fasting to, lots of coffee and a protein bar so far. That smoke is unbelievable. I left the coast @ 5.45am, no smoke,o by Berowra it was smokey, then clear thru Ryde, by the time I got to Riverwood I could hardly see across the road! Hope it clears up soon and the rain predicted is more than a sprinkle.

Thanks Debs. I'm really stressed out though because I'm meant to go to school at five - visa requirements! Plus I don't want to get behind but I just really do not feel up to it I won't end up getting home until at least 7 if I go but I don't want to get into trouble!
Hope the interview went as good as possible

I'm here too. Currently waiting at the doctor's for eldest daughter to be finished with her appointment (a follow-up, nothing of concern).

I didn't realise there are so many of us Melbournites here! Welcome to all the newbies and may everyone have a good repair/fasting day!

I hope you feel better soon Lil, and that Sydney gets some rain. Good luck with the job Debs!

Perhaps a Melbournite meet up at some point?!

I'm in. Late afternoon here and so far so good. Had the mushroom, tomatoes and egg and spinach for late breakfast, the recipe out of the 5:2 recipe book. Yummy. Big green salad for dinner with maybe a little fish.

I'm starting to feel a little guilty about going over but I feel so weak I'm gonna have to have something for dinner..
And I don't want to completely write it off.

No no Lilsmiler, no guilt!
If you need to go a bit over just accept it, and know that's just how it is for today.

In it when Monday comes rolling around.

Fasting today. Lost 0.8kg last week (doing 16:8 which I may stop). Total loss 8kg - 33 to go! Tell people I'm doing the Slow Fast Diet.

Morniiiiiiiiiiiing I'm in today, thank god I've got a busy day to keep me distracted cos I've woken up reeeeeeally tired and headachy THANKS to my neighbours waking me up in the night

Have a good one everyone
