The FastDay Forum

[janeg]

I'm in today although didn't get a chance to sign in this morning.
A tough day in that I had to be outside and it's about 40C, no shade and no toilets! Really hard. Overheated and just can't eat when I'm like that so fine for fasting. Home now nad getting rehydrated but am fairly exhausted.
Will have another week of this. Must eat...

Today is my first fast full day of the week, and doing another full day tomorrow as well. Who is fasting with me today?

This is weird. Woke up today after yesterday's fast and didn't feel hungry at all - so might do a partial fast today.

I try to do this on my day after fast days. I don't eat breakfast if I'm not hungry. I figure the extra fasting time is a good thing and so let it happen if my body is quiet. However, if I wake up starving I do eat my regular breakie.

I'm fasting today but also sick with a cold. So we'll see how it goes. I may not stick with it. For now I'm waiting to see when I get hungry.

@solangel, I merged your post in with the rest of the Thursday fasters, now you can see who's fasting with you today.

I'm in with my usual Thurs fast. Not quite 8am so still a ways to go.

I'm in and I have a head cold, a blessing and a curse. Drinking lots of fluid and food tastes like straw.

I'm fasting today. Just coffee and water at work until 2pm, felt fine not hungry and no dizzy spells today. Had a cupasoup and some hummous with carrot and celery for lunch. Home-made Tuscan bean soup with a slice of toast and marmite for dinner later.

Need to bake a cake for Macmillan coffee morning tomorrow, trying to persuade my son to do it....

Planning to fast today aswell. Its supposed to be 75 here in Denver..a gorgeous Fall day.

I started the day with coffee..not sure about what to eat...havent thought that far...

Struggling

Keep going Chichi!!!

Today has so far been the best fast day I've had for weeks and weeks. I am really pleased. I have had a lot of water, some hot bouillion, and a choc hob nob, which leaves me with just under 400cals for dinner - easily done!

I'm nearly at dinner time of the second day of a two day fast, and really ready to eat dinner NOW. I went for a run at noon, which was very tough and very slow, but it has at least got my steps up to a good level. So far the only calories consumed are 2 cups of Bovril and 2 Werthers sugar free candies - about 40 cals.

I have a dilemma in the morning, OH and I are planning to go on walk with a group, starting at 9.00 straight from school drop off, I don't usually eat first thing, but I feel I should have something after my back-to-back fast. Hmmm... shouldn't think about food

Been on fast today. I still have about 275 cals allowance left, but will wait until after I get back from meeting at 7.30. Have started to take sleeping tabs on fast nights to help sleep, which can't be good!

@ Betsysgr8: Thank you for doing that. For a moment I thought that the fasting was affecting my mind since I knew I had not posted here. Good to know that I am not crazy yet

Here was my din dins. I really appreciated it after my day of zilch (chocolate hob not aside) Broccoli, a nice big spoonful of vegetarian 2 bean chilli, and half a wrap. At the very most this came to 411 cals, plus the biscuit and bouillion = 510 cals. Get in! I am pleased.



Eek! Sorry it's so huge.

Struggling today! Noon now about to have another cup of bouillon. Going to stick with it though, last time I struggled with a Thursday fast I had a pretty good loss. I think my body is trying to get me to regain a little of the lost weight by fighting with me and my hunger. lol

That does sound tough Rasa
If it were me I would opt for a soup, a salad (dressing on the side) or maybe a burger and just eat the middle and not the bread. Avoid the carbs!

Thanks! Well in the end it worked out fine, because my dinner was cancelled. So very glad I decided to make it a fastday anyway. First time I saved my calories for dinner and I had a hard time during the day. Don't think one meal a day is here to stay...
