Good fasting to all.....where are you? I'll be smiling anyway!

Back today for me after 2 weeks of the indulge and bulge tour!
Non diving daughter on her way home and diving daughter goes tomorrow.
We've had a blast and had an eating tour of the region.
And it was gooooooood.
Now needing to get back to it and today's the day.
good luck fellow fasters

Good luck everyone. I officially fasted yesterday but had a couple of satsumas and a grapefruit in the afternoon and then ate too much in the evening coming closer to 750cals which is just over half my TDEE. Now I am trying to add another half fast today to make up. I am still hovering at the top end of my maintenance range but want to lose a pounds or two to give myself a bit of room. Unlike other people, I don't fluctuate too much from day to day, normally there aren't too many surprises. Even the day after a fast I never drop by more than a pound.

Had a fast day sort of, in as much as I didn't eat until evening, but allowed myself more than usual fast day cals as today was just to compensate for all the French pastries and chocolate that I had yesterday!
Hope everyone is going ok.
Btw, I wish I could send you some of our heat and you send me some of your ice, to even things up a bit! We have 3 days of 40C forecast in the next 5, and the other two are 36C...

I'm in for my regular 4:3 Friday fast. I was looking for a Friday thread last night - I should have started one. Recently, I realised that even my non-fast days have fasting periods (until breakfast, after dinner - plus, no snacks ever unless I'm following hypothermia protocols for kayaking) so it's altered my view of FDs and when I declare them.

I'm in, bit of a late check in though. Just got in from work and am feeling rather whizzy headed, not sure if thats getting up at 5 or fasting that's done that to me. Anyways I'm cold, mmm fasting or general outside temp? Who knows, so many Minsmums fast day mysteries!!!.... I need a sofa , a throw and a quick power nap before the school run, party run begins

Oh, poached eggs , how I have missed thee!
Successful day's fast and the kitchen is now closed.
Hope everyone else has had a good one.

I'm in today as well. I'm not long home from work and doing my messages and haven't eaten a thing yet. Need to do some housework, make my own dinner (the other three can make their own) then I'm off to the sailing club committee meeting, home for a bath then in bed a decent time, up at 5.45am to start work at 7am and then start another day but not fasting.

Fasting today. Had lots of tea and fizzy drink so far. I ate too much sugar last night at my friend's house, which usually makes fasting harder, but it's going okay. I'm reading more and more about how sugar and refined carbs are not helpful for dieting and healthy living, but they are what I crave. I no longer eat them on fast days, but on non-fast days... well, I'm not doing so well!

The icy temps and piles of snow here in Boston are really getting me down... Why did I move from Miami ten years ago?

Tomorrow I'm going on a date to a travel show; perhaps seeing ads for some warm places will cheer me up...

Tonight I plan to work on my taxes. Won't that be exciting!
