Fasting today: Tues Feb 9, 2016
09 Feb 2016, 23:28
wow, am I really starting off today? surely someone else is fasting today. I switched from my usual Monday fast 'cause I took off from work yesterday...Long story, had a fall skating on Sunday, and I prefer to observe light days when I'm working, easier to follow the routine. Plus, I was still in the "feeling put upon" phase following an accident yesterday, and felt I didn't want to battle both the normal light day temptations and that as well. Not badly hurt in the fall--amazingly, since I landed on my FACE--just a little skinned nose and chin, plus a few assorted bruises (gear--helmet, pads, wrist guards--rules!).
It's a bit late, @ferretgal, but I hope that you're not feeling too sore after your tumble! :frown:

I broke an arm the last time I went skating - but that was thirty two years ago! :shock: :grin:

Sorry you fell. That can throw your whole body off for a few days. It was smart to postpone fast.
I too fasted yesterday, just didn't get to post. I did great till 10 pm when the dog got me up. This time, though, I ate less carbs and no sweets or junk food. Progress! Now to figure out what to do about fast day binging at night. Maybe too tired to think it through? :confused:
Ouch! @ferretgal! I hope you are feeling restored. I read you have a birthday coming...going on 8? Wonderful!
I tried to fast yesterday but continued on my carb binge instead. I think I need to flush the carb cravings before I try another fast. I'm shooting for Friday.
Sorry to hear about your accident@ferretgal Hope you're soon back to normal. I'm gradually getting over my fall 2 weeks ago. Still got a very 'colourful' leg but managed aqua aerobics this afternoon albeit a bit subdued. Had a busy day today - nearly time to start cooking :lol: Got some turkey steaks so it will be either stir fry or chorizo and butter bean stew with a bit of added turkey.

I'm fasting Fri. also. I am having trouble fasting through till next morning. I know binging. :cry: Yesterday at night I did better - binged on good food, not sweets. Slowly improving. Does 'flushing carb cravings mean few carbs for a few days? I am so far avoiding sugars, and fewer carbs. Let us know how you do. :clover:
