The FastDay Forum

I'm fasting today, is anyone else joining me?
Tuesday's fast went well so I'm repeating my meals from then.
I'm on the waiting list for today's Pilates class so I'm going to go down and spend a bit of time on the treadmill, and see if there are any no-shows.
I'm going to the cinema to see LaLa Land this afternoon, busy is good on a Fast day.

Sounds like you have a good plan Sian!

BruceE and I are in today. I do have to go to the grocery store, but at least it's one that doesn't have any food cooking - no hot rotisserie chickens to make smells that make fasting torture.

We're having some lemon pepper cod tonight with haricots verts and cauliflower. I found a lovely recipe for cauliflower in one of the French Women Don't Get Fat books - it has raisins/sultanas, vinegar, capers and pine nuts or walnuts tossed in roasted cauliflower. It's fabulous. So I'm looking forward to that.

Hoping to keep it to a proper fast day today with no eating until 5:30 or 6pm and keeping it to 500 calories or fewer.

it's 4:30 and I've been good, but I really want dinner! I may start cooking now

I'm in today, it's just after 5pm here and having my cuppa broth. Haven't thought about what I'll have for dinner yet. Going to the mall in a bit, so may have a quick "snack" before to keep strong; eggs are usually my best choice for this.

Well I ate a bit more than I wanted last night -- closer to 750 calories.

But I was very happy with a nice loss this morning

Hoping to enjoy some treats *in moderation* this weekend.
