The FastDay Forum

Well, that is the aim... I have had a few days away and prior to that had friends staying, and managing my eating went out of the window. And there certainly wasn't any fasting.

So I am trying again to get into a routine of Wednesday and Saturday fast days, and attempting to get the evening snacking under control. But I can't think of any strategies that I am willing to do - and that I haven't yet tried - to help me stick to the plan. Novelty does help. I can't recall my first foray into 5:2 being difficult, and the weight came off easily and steadily. And I think I must have kept the evening snacking under better control. But over time the bad habits returned and now seem much harder to get rid of.

Anyway....

I have had a boiled egg this morning as I did some intensive exercise and I have read that it is important to have protein after such exercise and for the next 24 hours. Not sure if one boiled egg counts though.... I am also hoping it helps reduce the hunger pangs which I find I have great trouble handling now.

A lovely day in Melbourne. I am going to do a bit of weeding then off to the cinema to see "Breathe" - last chance today.

Best wishes to all!

I am fasting today, too. weight this morning 61.9 kg. Unlike the Melbourne weather, we have constant snow fall here now. It looks pretty but is cold outside.

Hope your day went well @Margotsylvia!

I managed to not eat til 7pm, apart from that boiled egg, but after that... It was still a light day, that is something.

I think I would rather have our heat than your cold. Occasional snow in winter would be special here, but we haven't had a "decent" snow fall in over 20 years.

Best wishes.
