The FastDay Forum

No fasting threads over the week end. Pity.
However it is now Monday. Do you remember when there was about 8 pages of posts on a Fasting Today: Monday thread? Now we are lucky to get one page. However, we are still here, those of us posting on this page today. Hurrah!
I have had black coffee and set the timer for 60 minutes. I am going to do housework - she says, sitting at the computer and posting here! I have already cleaned the shower and emptied the dishwasher. Now onto the washing and then the bathroom floor. Tonight it's 5 spice stir fried prawns with asparagus and udon noodles. The cherry tree outside the window is fat with buds and beneath it the weeds and daffodil leaves are a sea of green. It's a grey day, but not cold. I wouldn't mind some rain.

Wow, morning tea time on a Monday and no one has started this topic today. It's slowly warming up in Australia so time to start unpacking layers of clothes and show off our slimmer versions. Right?

Good luck today fellow fasters.

Hi SallyO, we were posting, and being amazed, at the same time. I don't know how to delete my post (as you beat me by two minutes). I am at work, in an office, near the communal kitchen, with coffee, herbal tea, water and chewing gum till 6pm. Then the usual Mexican pizza.

Hi @Sallyo you beat @Wmr309 by 2 minutes so I guess your thread is it!! Im here, Im always here on a Monday. At work, stacks to do and also waiting for a phone call to go pick up Dad after his Stent operation.
Black coffee and water then something with Lamb backstraps for dinner.
Happy Fasting

Lamb back straps are an excellent fast day stand by.

Hi I am also fasting today. Was up early to watch the All Blacks vs Argentina. Husband had toast and I was good and had a cup of tea. Cold here today and wet. Cup of soup for lunch and cold meat and salad for tea.

Hi @pamie123 Where are you located?

Also fasting today! Just had our first thunderstorm of the autumn here in Cyprus - quite a relief after the recent dust storm. Usual salad for lunch and chicken & veggies for my evening fast meal today. For us in the northern hemisphere today marks the start of autumn- winter whereas you lucky people in the southern hemisphere are looking ahead to spring and summer!

Back on the wagon today after a lot of faffing about. Bright and crisp in Luxembourg at the moment. Yet another MRI scheduled for this afternoon. Up all night with cough and cold, not what I wanted to bring back from our holiday in Portugal. However, I think plenty of hot water and lemon, and some Winter tea will help. Best of luck all..

Sounds like @pamie123 might be a Kiwi. Welcome to the westerners, just waking up. I had a salad of freshly picked baby spinach, 3 walnuts and a sprinkle of stilton cheese for lunch and just went to my neighbours' for a cup of tea but didn't have any cake. Only about an hour and a half to go until it's dinner time. Managing well.

I'm in. Well, it a wet, grey autumnal morning here in London and I have a long day with an evening meeting straight after work. I guess I'll grab a protein salad at some point. I'm away Tuesday, Wednesday for our annual work retreat, where their will be goodies.
Got my sparkling water to keep me going,
Good luck to all

Walnuts would just about kill me off @Sallyo but sounds as though you enjoyed them
An annual work retreat @Lizbean? Sounds intriguing. Have you seen the film"Severance"? Just asking!!
Good luck to all you Monday morning fasters. Hope its a good one xx

Good morning and me too :0)
Um, just checked and found Equinox will be 23rd so Wednesday this year. I usually change to a red handbag on Autumn Equinox and to a pale flowery one on Spring Equinox, just for a change :0)
Happy fasting folks \o/

I'm in. Busy busy busy. Aiming for a liquid fast.

I'm in on a grey Monday in SW England. There was an incident involving a chinese takeaway on Saturday night so this is sorely needed! Also my bathroom scales broke at the end of last week (I think one of the springs went funny) and the fancy new digital scales we bought to replace them have decided that I'm 2lb heavier than the old ones said I was. And that was before the takeaway incident... Humph!

Anyway, to everybody doing a Monday fast.
