The FastDay Forum

I'm a bit confused because I think I might have seen another Fasting today thread already - or was that for Tuesday? Any way it's Wednesday and my Wednesday is some other people's Tuesday. I'm doing my 2nd fast for the week and it's the first time since the week before Christmas that I've done 2 fasts in a week. I have had 3 fresh apricots and I am about to have a coffee. Lately I've found it easier to eat a bite of breakfast and lunch through the day, so I hope I'm not going over calories. Perhaps I should count them today, just to check. Sleeping badly and missed my morning walk with the neighbours, dogs and baby. Oh well. Have a good Wednesday fast!

G'day @Sallyo
Thanks for starting today's thread. I am doing my second fast for the week too. Small bowl of berries with a dollop of cottage cheese for breakfast, and a serve of cauliflower and baked beetroot for lunch (again with a dollop of cottage cheese)
Cool day here in Melbourne - I just wish we had just some of the rain that Sydney is getting (but not as much as northern UK!!)
cheers!
ps - maybe @Carorees can help fix up the duplicate fasting today threads.

HI @MerryMelb, nice to know you are with me. After looking again at that other thread, I see it was started yesterday but some people have posted on it today - which is our yesterday. So all is good.
I have just done a calorie count. 3 small fresh apricots - 30 calories, and I've had lunch - a boiled egg - 70 calories, grated beetroot and cabbage salad - about 15 calories. So it's baked snapper for tea with baked tomatoes, olives and capers. Should all be fine. IT all depends on how big the snapper is. It's 110 calories for 100 gm of fish. Yes, I wish it would rain. I had to laugh as someone on another thread, in the UK, wishing they were in Australia where the weather is always good! As if! I understand it is going to rain in Sydney for days. Meanwhile down where we are, drought pervades.

It's after 8pm here on Wednesday so:

My fast day dinner was small piece of lean pork, with mushrooms and tomatoes. A couple of slices of pear, with cottage cheese and sprinkled with ground ginger.
Well done Sallyo on completing your 2 fasts! I hope the fish was delish.
Over to all of you in the Northern Hemisphere .......
cheers

From the northern hemisphere and it is cold and wet and on my second fast day of the week, decided this year to try and eat one meal a day as counting all the time was not good for me, now nearing what is suppose to be lunch and intend not to eat until 5pm and just drink water and tea all day. Not tried this way before but will let you know.

I find it difficult to go all day when it's cold. Do have an oxo cube, low cal cuppa soup or boulion at the ready.

Hello World! It is midday Wed. in Nevada, US, and I am smelling the "bone broth" with veg cuttings boiling away on the stove. I guess that means it is veg soup for lunch for me, and I am starting to feel hungry. This is my second fast of the week and so far, so good. I had about 2T of oatmeal with about 1/4 c. of Greek Yogurt, 20 pistachios, 1/4 c. raspberries and a lot of black coffee. Tasted great. The aforementioned soup will be for lunch, and a supper of salmon and power green salad with balsamic and a touch of cauliflower. Then nada mas. It actually sounds really good! Tells you how hunger makes food taste really good, doesn't it? I was thrilled to post an extremely minor weight loss to my tracker, just enough to make for a tiny downturn!
We had a fair amount of rain (for us) last night, and this morning's sunshine is getting a little cloudie., So we shall see--but my little dog will be wanting a walk no matter what!. Plus, today I promised myself I would do some strength stuff. Fun!
Have a wonderful rest of the day (or night or tomorrow)!
