The FastDay Forum

Hi, I am fasting today and couldn't see a thread already created - even though it's 3pm here. I guess Tuesday is not a common fasting day.
I swapped from my usual Monday as I was visiting friends last night and didn't want to have to restrict what I could have.
I am struggling with hunger pangs today, so am having another black coffee and telling myself it is only a couple of hours until I start preparing dinner.
Best wishes and good luck to anyone else fasting today.

I'm with you @Sassy1 on this fast day. Have a good one everybody!
It's my usual and always important day (Fridays too), particularly after my Sunday birthday and the weekend spent with our whole immediate family. I really am 75 now feeling totally fine, but it's just a number, like the accompanying weighing scales blip. Wonderful company as well as delicious wines and food.......hey ho! It was lovely at the time though I don't like what the weighing scales say today. It could depress me, but I know I can repair it soon. Off to the early gym session to shake out. This is a great WOL and forum to confide in.

Belated birthday greetings, @Katharina, sounds like you had very enjoyable celebrations!
Totally agree re your comment re age - age is just a way to measure the passing of time and the gaining of experience and (hopefully) wisdom! You certainly sound 75 years young, heading for an early session at the gym - hope you found it envigorating. Best wishes.
I have just finished preparing the veggie curry for dinner - smelling good!!

Hello Tuesday fasters, black coffee to start the day off then keeping busy living the high life!!!
Belated Happy Birthday wishes @Katharina
@Sassy1 hope the curry was good.......mmmmmmm.....curry

Hi everyone, I'm in today. Looking forward to a spicy fish stew for dinner tonight.

Hope everyone is having a good day xox

Hi folks, I'm in today too. I'm working at home - or would be if I hadn't overslept till 9.20am! Great news that though - shortens the fast day. My weigh-in this morning was surprisingly good, which bodes well (I hope!) for tomorrow's post-fastday weight.

Onward & downward!

Im in today. Good luck everyone

Hello @philxjr long time no see

I'm in today switched my days this week due to my birthday.

I'm doing today as well...I am going to try hard as I have slightly slipped my good routine......it seems to take ages for my weight to shift...very frustrating as I'm sure I'm doing right......how many fasters don't have carbs on their fasting day? Are some vegs carbs?I might need to go back to the beginning..

.how many fasters don't have carbs on their fasting day? Are some vegs carbs?I might need to go back to the beginning

I have a lowish carb FD but the carbs that I do have come from appropriate vegetables (e.g., green leafy, high water salad vegetables rather than obviously starchy ones). The carb count always has to take appropriate portion size into account. E.g., it would be difficult to eat many carbs when consuming celery, spinach, cabbage, sprouted greens, cauliflower, capsicum/bell peppers, aubergines, artichokes etc. It would be very easy for me to eat a higher carb count that I'd prefer if I ate large quantities of potato, beetroot, carrot, sweetcorn, peas etc.

@Carieoates 21 again? When is the big day?x

Fasting again today. So far its been ok but I'm finding it rather hard due to not being at work and not really having anything to do. Oh well. Am going to have grilled turkey and veggies for Lunch soon.
Good luck everyone :D

A little birdie told me that @CarieOates's birthday is tomorrow

I'm in for a fast day as well. I have a four hour training in fundraising today for two places where I volunteer, so that might keep my mind off my tummy. There's half a pot of a lovely soup in the fridge for dinner, so I won't have to cook this afternoon. My only conundrum is that I really need to get some grocery shopping done this morning. I hate shopping on a fast day, but we've been snowed in and need a few things.
