The FastDay Forum

Blimey Charlie am I the first one on here to say I'm fasting today? Or is it that I'm the ONLY one fasting today?

Good luck bean on your admirable decision to do a satday fast!
Hope some others join you ..but if not i ' ll be thinking of you and cheeering you on anyways, so you won't be a Little Beany No Mates x

Oh good morning Candy! I wondered if you were awake! Thank you for your thoughts. That will certainly give me the much needed boost!

You'd have laughed at me yesterday. You know I was going on about trying to produce perfectly poached eggs? Well I had a go yesterday. I dropped my first one on the floor!! I couldn't believe it. And the yolk had been cooked perfectly! They were funny shapes but for my first attempt I wasn't too disappointed.

Oops Beano..ah well no use crying over spilt - erm - eggs!
Are me and thee the only people alive on here this morning?
Helllllllo out there ? ....anybody? ..yoooo hooooo?

I was just thinking that. Its like we're the only 2 people in the universe (especially as I'm in my little office all on my lonesome. The girls don't do mornings!)

I might be joining in today, but I can't promise anything
It does already feel like it should be afternoon! I didn't sleep much last night though ka slept great. 6.30am starts always lead to long days
I will check out cals of my instant pots of carbs and see if I can get under 500 for today.
I'm now a little worried that I've only got carbs with me! What protein can I get in whSmiths?
How's it going so far@nursebean? X

Oh @Karenm you live in Cornwall! How lovely. I've just booked yet another holiday in Padstow for next February. I LOVE it there!

Anyway, things are going ok so far. My stomach is definitely rumbling more than normal (prob because of my adding in 16:8) and I'm just supping on my first coffee of the day. I DO allow myself some milk in it...that'd the devil I am!

So have you decided whether you'll fast today or not?

I've checked cals on my pots, but have realised it really is just carbs! IT will just have to do for today though!
Tomato cuppa soup 92
Mash with carrot and swede snackpot 94
Porridge 196
And a small pear!
That should do it!
If I need more, I'll have more, but that's my current aim.
I will see if I can get the nurses to keep an eye on little one and go hunting protein later, so the above may change slightly. I think the bakers sometimes has salads with tuna or chicken so will have that instead of the porridge if I find one x

Morning@karenm! Sorry you had a bad night ..me too
Good luck if you decide to fast alongside Ms Bean x

I am definitely half in today, aiming for a sub 800, 300 of which I've already had: a tvp chilli burger in a tortilla for brunch. Delicious. Not sure about later: still ruminating. I have eaten loads of eggs, over the past few days, usually with heaps of veg and no bread or potatoes, and really enjoyed them. Have not tried dropping eggs on the floor first, but I feel I may be missing out. My brain is seizing up by the way: did some painting of shelves with white gloss whilst drinking cup of tea, then dipped paintbrush in the mug. Keeping that one quiet!

Going offline Beany,now that things are livening up! We are not all alone in the Universe after all!
Enjoy yr dindins tonight x good luck you salubrious satday fasters!

I'm not exactly fasting today but just to keep you company.........after the blow out I had last night I don't think I need anything til dinner tonight - which is to be a BBQ so I might almost achieve fast day cals apart from the fact it is my uncle's birthday so I am going to make a nice dessert (wouldn't be fair to say too much here!) and will probably have a piece so go over a bit. Good luck though ladies - you can do it - just think of how slim you are going to be!

I'm still aiming for a fast day, but have had a small bite of vegetarian sausage to convince my brain it's had enough protein lolx

I'm in today, too, as I have accelerated my fasting schedule to allow me to do both of next week's fasts by this Tuesday. Thursday I drive to Ohio (an 11 hour drive) to visit my son and eat several delicious meals at his recently opened restaurant.

Gotta lose a lot of weight this week, because next week is going to be nonstop eating!

Thats sounds GRRRREAT! @Peebles! Well glad you could at least join me in fasting today!

@Karenm? What sort of "pots" have you got?

I must admit I'm feeling really hungry now and the thought of a sausage...mmmm
