The FastDay Forum

Getting harder to pick when to do my fasts with Christmas functions taking up the days. So am in today but out and about as well. Usually prefer the solitude of my home and garden on fast days.

Oh well will give it my best shot and see how the day pans out. All the best fellow fasters, happy day

I will be joining you today thanks gillymary, I am indeed pleased to say I have just completed a 30min walk this morning, we finally have some sunshine and it's going to be a fine sunny day here in Melbs.

I agree with staying home on Fast days as well but I do need to go out and about today as I am preparing for my sons Wedding this Saturday.

Happy Fast Day everybody
cheers
Maggie

Me too, only 3 fasts left before the Christmas madness starts. Feeling blobby today so hoping a fast will resolve that.

@Maggiee have a great time at your sons wedding, I hope the weather is good for you.

I'm in and looking forward to it (kind of).

I'm in but I'm doing a particularly tough bike class, so I may slip in a few strawberries before hand. This bike class is usually on a normal day, but this is the christmas calendar at the gym so.
If too tough during the day as a result will do something food wise about it.
Have a great day everyone.

Hi Melbournians and Wineoclock, zamale and Gillymary. I'm in today. Working. I actually like it better to be out and about. Home is so focussed around the kitchen here. Yes, Christmas is certainly looming. Next Monday is a bit of an issue for me as I am going down to Hobart to see my son and family. I'll be there for tea, so it would be rude to restrict my diet. Heavens knows there are plenty of issues to trouble our relationship! Any way, one day at a time; sufficient unto the day thereof etc. ... Today I will have a frittata for dinner with our own eggs. Nothing but tea and coffee and miso soup until then. Have a good day everyone.

Hi All

I am in for my second fast in a row today. Feeling good so far - dosing up on tea and water. I definitely find it easier to be busy at work - I haven't even tried to do a fast at home because I would just break straight away!
I feel a little nervous about today because last time I did two fasts in a row I was a little dizzy and VERY cranky! But I had a good fast tomorrow and if I start to feel off today I will boycott and just do a 16/8 instead.

Good luck everyone! I'm looking forward to indulging in a sushi roll or two this evening! Yum!

I'm in. I hope it will be a good one as I'm not hungry at all which is a great start. What type of sushi rolls will you have @kelkelkelster and how many calories do you think they would be? Im interested because hubs and I both like sushi and I think that would be yummy for a fast night dinner but as we only have 300 calories for dinner we could probably only have one maybe with a salad.

Hi fab friends,lets do it! Here's to a groovy thursday fast! Yayyyyyyyyy!
Christmas next week!!!

Julianna - Yeah, it concerned me too. I think salmon and avocado ones seem to be the worst at about 250-300 calories. The others seem to be around 150 - 200... I save all my calories for the evening so I could have a couple, but maybe safer for you to go with just the one. It's hard because they are so yummy!

After a chocolate making course today and a fish and chip supper tonight...... I AM IN!!

I'm in in the morning

I'm having my 5th Fast day today, going well and it is already mid afternoon here. I don't think the weight is falling off though with too many Christmas functions on the other days.

Ouch Penny, sounds like all my dreams coming true, chocolate course AND fish AND chips!!
I have reverted to fasting all day followed by a normalish meal in the evening as it is a bit hard whilst staying with friends. Managing so far though! Spending the day doin online inductions and amazed by how clear headed I feel on a fast! Mind you, Inthink my brain will be full soon!!
