The FastDay Forum

Hello. I'm fasting today. Looking forward to stir fry beef with our own scarlet runner beans.

See you in the morning as usual!

Hi Sallyo

Dinner, bed and then I will join our Thursday fast. I'm in!

Tea through out the day and then dinner, rainbow trout with salad and a small roasted fig with a dollop of blue cheese.

Good fast to all xx

Yum!

Hi all,

I'm in for a fast today! Feeling like it's well needed today, I don't know what's got in to me recently but I've been really bad (on my feast days). Need to cut the alcohol during the week and the carbs! I also made the most amazing apple crumble at the weekend which I just have not been able to resist (plus a large scoop of vanilla icecream). Anyway, I've told the OH he'd better eat it before I get home from work today, or else!

I'm also trying to knock the caffeine on the head on fast days. I seem to get very tired around 3pm ish and when I have coffee it gives me such a caffeine rush and makes me feel very woosie!!

Probably just veggies for dinner tonight, I'm a big fan of steamed veg with chilli flakes, I look forward to it now! @Lizbean your dinner sounds amazing - I'm definitely going to have to try that one day. I love rainbow trout - I once had it with stewed rhubarb and baked - it was amazing!

Happy fasting everyone!

I'm half in.. more of a reduced calorie day again.

I'm on my second coffee with chocolate soy milk. Lunch will be a couple of miso soups and dinner is chicken with broccoli and mushrooms in oyster sauce. Guessing around 600-700 cals

Have a great day everyone

Hi @kelkelkelster

We have a fab coffee machine at work, just like in coffee shops. I have given it up apart from one espresso a week.

Tea is more refreshing and I think coffee just makes me un-necessarily HUNGRY. Grrh.

Trout - stuffed with ground almonds, lemon or anything herby and nutty. Yum rhubarb, not tried that! Yet.

Bedtime

Here we go again, started about 7pm and hope to go for at least 23 hours on a glass of water with the juice of half a fresh lemon squeezed into it first thing, then a cup or two of black decaff fresh coffee in the morning, then a peppermint tea or two through the afternoon, then break the fast on a bowl of veg soup around 200 calories, then water with the juice of half a fresh lime squeezed into it then bed! Friday will start with the lemon juiced water then a late breakfast of two boiled eggs and coffee. It's all good.

*waves* I'm in today too. My neighbour is having her wisdom teeth out today, so I'm going to be making some soup for her - which fits pretty well with a fast day although I suspect the smells might make me a bit hungrier than usual!

Hi Thursday folk,
I will happily join you in the morning. Had a good day today trying 16:8 and looking forward to tomorrow's busy fast day. The busier I am, the easier it is & I'm really enjoying just not having to think about food, calories, TDEE & cooking. I also think more clearly. All in all, right now, I'm in a good place. Wishing the same for all of you.

Hello Thursday fasters! I'm in too. My fast day meals have been uninspired lately because I haven't been grocery shopping since my travels, not a proper shop anyway. Tonight might be spinach and cottage cheese. I've been going crazy for cottage cheese lately, so it'll keep me happy...

I'm in, up and on the first coffee. Good fast all.

I'll be fasting today too.
Bugger woke early so will be a long day now tut!

Are you with me @mikesgrl79

Off to the gym bout 9am then tea and bovril (still not tried miso soup yet) till dinner which will be a low cal ready meal or protein shake... something I don't have to think about.

hubby away tonight so no one to bring in temptation later ( anyone else have a feeder for a partner?)

If I don't have any work I aim to paint the conservatory, something I've been putting off...
better a paint brush in hand than food eh

Good luck today fasters

Just wanted to say good luck to my fasting buddy @Lizbean!

Don't be forgetting you are in for repair today!!

I am in too, busy Thursday as usually I agree the busier you are the easier the fast.
