The FastDay Forum

I am up for a fast today. Going fluids until lamb roast this evening. Will have my lamb with salad though will probably want to pinch my DH's roast veggies. Also plan I will have a mint vinegarette and he might get gravy. Fingers crossed as already looking forward to my 2pm coffee. Time for a herb tea.

Is anyone else going to join me today. May the fast be with you too

It is a positively beautiful day here will have to enjoy that herb tea in the sunshine. Clear sky no wind and it chilly by our standards

Yes @gillymary I am here. Beautiful day here too, I'm lolling about in the sun on the day bed with dogs, having a black coffee. I have very nearly failed already, but pulled myself into line with that wet fish! Last week I painted a blackboard to hang by the pool, so I could write a few pithy sayings on it. Now it says : don't give up!
It's only a few hours till dinner. So far have had my veg soup, coffee and half a protein bar, then I'll have some veggies for dinner. I'll keep that wet fish handy.

I'm in today , sort of. Planning to fast until tea time as usual. Then a restrained 'feast' as I made lovely scrummy stuff yesterday. Mostly will be within the 500cals. But then there is pudding. Let's just say Silverdarling with her salty confection has got a lot to answer for.
So I suppose I'm really window-ing today.
Whatever we call it, hope everyone joining intoday has a good one.
With no need for wet fish

Just up and starting with the black coffee. Not feeling too thrilled about fasting today but must do it to get into the rhythm... fast 1 of week 2 (on a restart....)

It is Saturday night in Oregon but I am getting ready for my first fast on Sunday. Wish me good fortune. Good luck to all of you.

Me too, having eaten a VERY filling curry last night! Salmon and salad for dinner tonight, sparkling water, filtered water, black coffee and peppermint tea until then.
Good luck everyone, we can do this, yes we can :0)

I am in today also. Glad to see more than one person as Sunday is not a popular fast day. That lamb roast sounds yummy @Gillymary but I think I am going to stick with tilapia and steamed veg at the end of the day. Good luck all

What a nice bunch of Sunday fasting buddies we have here today. Well I am aching which is usually a sign to me that something is afoot after acomplished a good long fluid fast. Dinner wont be too far away now of the lamb and veg of the low carb kind.

All the best to everyone else still fasting, hope it goes well for you

Im in today. My week begins on Mondays, so this is my 3rd fast this week. I went off the rails a bit and got myself into a carb crabing/hunger cycle every feast day. So, this is my "punishment" fast! Perhaps "repair" fast is a better term.

I am up to lunchtime now and having my first bit of caffine with a splash of milk. Normally I plan my fasting dinner the night before. Its much easier to say what I can have, rather than what I cant. I havent done that this time, so hopefully it will work out. I know I have frozen cod, but I have to include kids and hubby in the meal. As its Sunday, they will want and expect a treat. Hopefully I will hold out. Ooooh, I wonder could I persuade hubby to take the kids off for dinner while I have some "me" time.?

I will also be fasting tomorrow, so I am up for a back to back. I have done this once before. Its hard, but doable. I am fairly determined as I came within 1.5lbs of goal earlier this week, before pigging out and putting on 4lbs!

Good luck Sunday Fasters!

fantasising about my tea and I've still got about 3 hours to go. HUNGRY!
More water janeg, maybe a coffee?
ooh @scubachick - no punishment please or self recriminations! Brave woman to take on back to back fasting. Love the idea of sending hubby and the weans off. You go girl!

Sorry to let the side down but today's fast has turned into a 19:5 instead. It may be as I'm not well but by 3pm I needed sustenance. It's all been real food at least :0/
I'll try again on Thursday.

I made it through my first fast day. Thank you for your support.

Well done @25fast. It gets easier as you get into the swing of things. When is your next fast?Will I see you fasting again on Wed?
