The FastDay Forum

I went and got the Aldi version of fitbit today. Will need to charge it up and sort it out.
Did quite a bit of walking in the end too. Now tell me to stay out of the sweetie tin.

Hmmm didnt intend it but today seems to be turning into a fasting day..c'est la vie! X
@brand-ie how much is Aldi fitbit?
Is it easy to ' sort it our' coz i' m not very technical ? X
Mmm sweetie tin sounds nice!

I spotted the Aldi "fitbit" it is £39.99. Let us know how you get on

Help! Apologies for submitting my previous post twice. Is there anyone out there who can remove one of them? Please!

Sorted @StowgateResident.

Oh my I've just blown my fast day. I'm going to blame my thryoid, because it's too fast right now and it makes me so insanely hungry Oh well, I would try again tomorrow, but I have a big fundraiser lunch with a group I volunteer for. I guess I had better get more steps in on my fitbit

@tracieknits who wdnt blow it if their thyroid was making them so hungry
Hope it settles for you soon ...thats more important right now than fasting x
Enjoy the fundraising x

Thanks so much, @CandiceMarie! It was irradiated in January, so I'm off meds hoping it will calm down soon. The doctor is giving it until May 1, or I'll probably have to go back on meds.

This is my 2nd fast of the week and I'm struggling. I was off work yesterday and after I went for a run/walk, all I did was eat, eat, and eat some more. Then I had beer and a chicken sandwich to top it off. Ugh. It's playoff season for my favorite hockey team so there will be many nights of beer and bad food to come. Anyway, you'd think I wouldn't possibly be starving today considering all I ate yesterday but I've been so hungry all day. I had a protein bar for lunch but I'm still hungry. This is definitely my worst fast day since my very first one. 2 more hours until dinner. I'm going to eat and go right to bed!

@CandiceMarie well done on your 31st fast! did I read that right? It's coming up to midnight here in the UK, as I have been absent most of the day I thought I'd do a security check. @Brand-ie lock away your sweetie tin please. Kitchens closed?
Good luck to those still fasting today

@SammyIam so sorry to hear you are struggling. Yes, go to bed and sleep it off. If you feel up for it try fasting tomorrow or if not leave it till another day. It sounds like you have got out of your normal routine? Let us know how you feel tomorrow. x

Yep @lizbean two fasts a week for 16 weeks..32nd fast tomoz x
Hope you sleep well x

@SammyIAm, I think many of us have noticed we often get more hungry the day after overindulging--maybe it stretches out your stomach or something? Or just sets expectations of more food to come...

I'm in today, just now having my first "food" (cuppa vegie broth). I've found it's like eating pizza: I'm tempted to drink when it's too hot; have burned my mouth a few times now (I usually wait till I'm pretty desperate, so...). Amazing how great it tastes!

Thanks for the concern, @lizbean . I'll survive. It's just hard. My biggest problem is being at home all day on my days off. Even though I was preoccupied with cleaning for several hours, I still found time to stuff my face with cookies and potato chips. I really need to learn how to preoccupy myself better. Also, I have vowed to only buy healthy snacks so I'm not tempted to overindulge in bad things on my days off. We'll see how that goes. @ferretgal I do believe you are right. I think my tummy is thinking, "You gave me SO much yesterday, how DARE you not feed me today! I'll show you!" hehe. I've been using myfitnesspal but I've been half-assing it. Time to get serious about logging my calories! I wish soup kept me as satisfied as it makes you! I, unfortunately, need something that I can actually chew.

Well, @SammyIAm, if you like chewing, a spinach salad (I like it with hardboiled egg) is a LOT more filling than protein bars. I find that any bar low cal enough for a light day just isn't as satisfying as the same number of calories of real food. heh, liquids are just me trying to trick my belly into delaying food for as late as possible.
