The FastDay Forum

Good morning everybody

I am fasting today instead of tomorrow as we will be having our delightful granddaughter come and stay for the school holidays.

My return to fasting on Monday was very successful and I am looking forward to completing it again today, the scales are already kind.

cheers Maggie.

Following your fasting footsteps @Maggiee already have my salad prepped for much later today. Off to the dentist so that will while away some hours

Happy fast day everyone.

Lovely day in my neck go the woods and have also just observed a wallaby (small kangaroo) by at my fence and a family of 4 yellow tailed black cocotoos flew over head squarking their distinctive call while I was in the garden inspecting my newly planted veggie garden beds. It makes me happy to see those birds, beautiful large wild creatures that they are.

No-one appears to have started a thread for today, so I'll kick it off.

Fasting Wednesday for me. Looking forward to it to as I'm feeling a bit bloated at the moment

I'm in - got to do flu clinics all day today which are likely to be bedlam so hopefully no time to think about food and eating till I get home (shattered) at 8pm. Eek.

Oh @loversghost? Are you a practice nurse? I remember flu clinics. Quite good fun really!

I'm sort of in today. Basically I'm going out for a meal with friends tonight so I won't eat anything all day and then I'll try and make a healthy choice tonight, although I suspect it won't be as healthy a choice as perhaps it should be! Obviously I'll go over my 500 cals, but I've bean so good this week I don't think it matters. I mean, I'm doing 16:8 all the time when not fasting, so that must be ok...mustn't it?!

Good luck everyone. Hope your fast is good. And its great to see you so fired up with your fasting @Cheekychicken

I'm in for one of my usual MFW 4:3 fasts.

Hey ho, Hey Ho, it's off to fast we go
With 'No, Thanks', here and
an 'I, Don't' there
Hey ho, Hey Ho, Hey Ho, Hey Ho.

Well done @Maggiee on a successful fastday Monday and heading up today's and I will keep you company for a while today as I'm doing a 20:4 today.

Hey buddie @gillymary Your garden sounds divine,
Hope today's fastday went well for you I must pop over to our little corner later today as I've been awol this week.

bit thin on the ground with fasters today.

Oohh here comes @ssure

Yes @loversghost keeping busy is def a good thing on a fast day.
Like Nursebean I'm in till this eve have been invited out to dinner but will ensure I make a healthy choice and no carbs.

Trouble is, its difficult avoiding carbs...when you're in an Italian restaurant! Bad choice huh?

I'm fasting today too. Making it a day of shopping and that will keep me busy. Of course it might make me spend more money as I shop rather than stop for lunch. Good luck, fasters!

I'm here today. My normal day is Thursday but I work on that day and we are having a catered lunch and I know I wouldn't stick to low calories with that.

I am in too, as usual for Wednesday. I managed to do a 36 hr, liquids only fast on Sunday but it was challenging. Perhaps again today... ...will see .
Good luck everyone

I'm in again today, wasn't sure if I would add am still sick with a cold but it's been surprisingly easy today, tandoori chicken is in the oven, I'm having a small portion on a big salad, the rest of the family are having rice and naan with theirs. Had a great weekly weigh in after Mondays fast another 0.9 kg off, even with curry out and nandos the week before, finding it easier to make sensible choices and when I don't, I eat much less anyway. Had to bring most of the curry home with me#

Im fasting today, though im not sure why as I reached goal on Monday. I suppose I have been on a plateau for a while so I think I need 2 fasts just to hold my weight. I will have to work on the 5 feast days really.

I have been really hungry today. I even stole the toddlers left over toast mid morning. Now, I dont have enough cals for dinner. So, its just a little pack of smoked salmon for me.

Wee bit achey but about to have my substantial snack before this evening's paddle as this will possibly be the last evening paddle on the lake of the season unless we can snatch one next week. (And possibly my last night-time paddle for quite some time before my knee/shoulder surgeries.)

Beautiful clear skies so it should be lovely on the lake tho' the air temperatures may drop rapidly later.
