The FastDay Forum

Hello!

I am planning to fast today after a huge feast day yesterday and because I am going to the beach on my normal Monday fast day, and want to be able to have an icecream or two!

It's already pretty warm here, but not windy, so hopefully no serious fires... Just watching on TV a reflection on Black Saturday - hard to believe it is 5 years ago.

Keep cool Aussies, and happy fasting everyone.

Happy fasting, I know you will succeed. The thought of tomorrows ice cream should keep you sailing on today.

Thanks @zamale, I did manage the Fri fast ok, so fingers crossed for today. Am on my first fruit tea, after coffee, water and black tea so far

Hope you are going okay??

Happy Groundhog Day!! (is that just a North American thing ). I am in for fasting today, my usual Sunday although this week I have converted to the TENT of ADF so hoping to have good numbers by the end of the week and make my Valentine's challenge to self .

Good luck everyone and let's hope that furry critter doesn't see his shadow and this #@^%&% winter will be over sooner.(That last bit for N.A. fasters )

Hello both,
I am in today as well as part of my ADF. Had a sneaky Magnum yesterday so all good here. It is its usual hot. humid fly blown self over here!
I couldn't watch anything to do with Black Saturday I'm afraid, I was working on the fires at the time for DSE and DPI so it is pretty painful, and I feel for those people having seen first hand what happened.
Currently drinking a naughty diet coke to keep myself awake!!

Hello there, join those is the warmer climes judithn!!

I'm in today , probably the first of two rather than three as visitors arrive on tuesday, I' ll be on holiday and I'm excited!
Have a good one everyone

Wish I could join you in "the warmer climes" @Debs. It has been a horrible winter here.
I remember Black Saturday watching on the telly and like you, I can't believe it has been 5 years. It must still be so raw for those involved. I am thinking about them.

Hi there,
Yes I bet it can get a bit chilly there! We are off to Canada and Alaska at the end of May so we will experience some of that!
I can handle the heat, although I don't like it, it is the humidity and sticky flies I have problems with!

So @Debs, end of May can be quite nice in most of Canada (or NOT). I have experienced near freezing to high 20C's in my rather long life. Alaska is another "kettle of fish". Much like our North, there are only 2 seasons: Winter and Bug!!! Black flies are the 5th Horseman of the Apocalypse. Good Luck!!!

I'm in too! Determined to make this a great fast since I've been doing it a bit half-heartedly over the last few weeks. More semi fasts than proper fasts! As I'm sort of maintaining it's tricky to find that motivation, but I swore that I would do 6:1 to maintain and for the health aspects, so today WILL BE A GOOD ONE!!!

Now that I've written in here I think I'll make it good luck all Sunday fasters!

I am in today. Hello folks and happy fasting.

Today's my first attempt at a Sunday fast. It's been decided after a brilliant night out with girlfriends on Friday and a lovely, but rather rich meal with OH last night. That's the great thing about this 5:2 lark. You can still enjoy food in its celebratory function and just readjust to get back on track. No feeling of guilt or deprivation. Love it!

I'm in today too. I was a massive pig yesterday and drank vast amounts of wine and woke up feeling like I have poisoned myself. I think my month of 5:2. and no alcohol has made me feel healthier than I have felt in a long time and this morning I was just Blugh! Husband doesn't want me to fast today but I need to get rid of this vile feeling.
