The FastDay Forum

I didn't fast yesterday, I ate lots of carbs instead so I really need today's fast. Woken up hungry though so I'm hoping that's not a bad sign. I will be at work with no food so that helps.
anyone joining me today?

Hiya x yeh i think i' ll join you in the morning
Decided to jumble my days up weekly,getting bored with Monday/ Thurs week in,week out.
Hope your day goes well Wineo xx

@wineoclock@CandiceMarie tip toeing off to bed
Happy thrilling Tuesday fast day to all. Miss Candice, have you jumped ship? Hah gotcha! Let us know how jumbling it up goes.

I had planned to fast yesterday, but my friend kept taking me for meals (I was in Tokyo). So here I am.

I haven't weighed since I got back from my trip to California, so it's been awhile since I've been on the scales. I managed two proper fasts and a half fast while away (a small miracle for me), and one fast between the California and Tokyo trips. I've had three days of insanity coming into this fast, though, so I'm a bit worried…

I'm here today as well, looking forward to feeling refreshed afterwards. Starting out with lemon teas. Dinner will be spring greens with either a grilled spiced up chicken breast or meatballs (which I cooked for the freezer) using the 5:2 recipe book. Meanwhile I'm off to the early morning gym group for 7am- it's just an hour and a half spent on myself, and then I have some teaching. I will be busy at home anyway. Have a successful day everyone!

I'm in

I'm in today!

Mum's finally doing better--they took her trach out and moved her out of the ICU yesterday. It was very emotional to hear her voice for the first time in weeks. I think the whole process was a nightmare for her based on what she said to me yesterday. They did warn us that patients in long term ICU care can have trouble with memory and hallucinations, probably due to the trauma and the many medicines they're being given. So some of this is probably hard fact, and other elements may be her perception of what was happening. Plus for my mum not being able to speak is particularly trying. But overall, it's wonderful news... so I feel like I can shamelessly focus on...

The wedding! It's in 3 weeks, 5 days.. ACK! I've got so many things to do.. still don't even have my shoes. Barefoot bride? Without a beach? Hmm. Mum was going to help with a few last minute details so now I need to start begging friends to do a few things for me. Trying not to stress out, though!

I'm in today. After a ruinous last week I need a miracle to bring me back on track for the Equinox Challenge - so here's hoping for a miracle!
Good luck all.

Yep - I'm in. I switched my days this week from Monday as I did an extra fast on Sunday, so thought I needed a break in between. Must admit, I never feel refreshed after a fast day - maybe I am doing something wrong! Mind you I did have a heavy weekend of celebrations and then will have again this weekend so I needed the extra day! Keep strong LadenTrying and good luck with those last minute wedding plans

Good to see so many fasting today. Hope its a good one for us all. Its funny how we seem to look forward to our fasts isn't it...especially when we've bean naughty beans

Howz it going for everyone?!
@rigi i' m sorry you don't feel refreshed after yr fasting days - thats probably the most rewarding part of fasting for me - aside from losing weight!
Maybe that will change for you,i hope so
@ladanTrying great news about yr mum..it must have been heartwarming to hear her speak again!
How exciting about the wedding! Nerve racking too i know! Are you having a hen party?
@wineoclock are you all done and dusted now? Think the rest of us are Ukers? Keep strong thru the afternoon!

I'm holding on tightly. I've taken the girlies for their walkies and now feel totally shattered. a bit dazed in fact
Just off to kill time by watching the last episode of Broadchurch (with a lovely mug of coffee).
Hope the tumultuous Tuesday fast is running smoothly...as smoothly as it can

Struggling today and the thought of going off to a spin class is not inspiring me! Maybe once I get there I shall feel better. Tell me what you think of the final episode of Broadchurch , Nursebean

@maryAnn where are you timewise compared to UK? X

@LadanTrying, I'm glad to hear your Mom is doing better. That sounds scary!

@CandiceMarie, it's 4am now. I think we're +8 or 9
