The FastDay Forum

Thank you caoimh

I only drink water on my fast days and eat all my 500 in the evening so tonight I will have

shredded carrot and sprouts, spring onion, cheddar and cheery toms with some mayo and sriratcha to make coleslaw with tuna added.

Then 2 petit swiss yogurts.

All adds up to 500 or just under.

Went to the canteen for a black coffee very late this morning. I showed a lot of inner strength by just walking past the bacon, sausages, black pudding, hash browns etc etc

The weather here is glorious, very spring like, so just had a nice 30 minute walk and picked up a diet coke and some Airwaves gum for lunch.

I'm going hardcore today! Fasted yesterday and decided that as I managed to while away then entire morning reading the Forum and the FB page, I might as well try a consecutive fast. It's half term so I'm at home this week and going away for the night with OH on Thursday so if I can get two fast days in, I'll enjoy my meal out on Thu & hotel cooked breakfast on Friday!

Will then throw in a fast day on Saturday to make up for it!

Wish me luck!

Good luck Jeniben, decent tea bags and plenty of water helps

i'm in today as well

So far so good, but it's only 9:13 in the morning. I'm planning on a big black bean stew tonight for dinner as my only meal.

I'm fasting today, and my tummy is protesting very loudly! I hope it quietens down a bit when I'm out this afternoon...

I'm supposed to be fasting today but due to lack of preparation for lunch, I ended up eating a full bagel, (honestly) forgetting the calories I had listed were for half. So I reckon my chicken, chorizo, potatoes and peppers for tea (even though the portions were teeny) have probably pushed me over the edge (with a few nuts and a miso soup earlier)

I've been very good up until now at not cheating but I feel off my game this week - I'm blaming it on a combination of PMT and having a cold! (excuses, I know!) Tonight is my last few hours for the week but honestly I could kill for chocolate or sweets, so I'll have to see if I manage it or cave in.

Suppose I could try another fast day on Thursday but in the "feeling sorry for myself" mood I'm in, I don't feel inclined!!! Hopefully be back on track next week because it does seem to be working for me and isn't usually hard to stick to. Preparation is definitely the key to success

Anyway, off to have a cup of tea and see how I feel later.

hi again all
well first day almost done
i had an options choc drink and a nectarine at lunch - just couldnt have nothing - too many people eating soup etc around me at work

tonight i had 200g prawns and 350g veg stirfry and beansprouts a blue dragon chow mein sauce and if i've worked it out right i am just a teeny bit over the 500

lunch and tea this morning about 140 cal, 200g prawn 130 cal, stir fry veg, 140 cal and sauce 100 cal
my normal weigh in day is a wednesday so hoping to see some nice news in the morning

next repair day planned for thursday

good luck to everyone else

I started off well missing out breakfast. At lunch had a cottage cheese salad made in the shop at work but they were generous with the cottage cheese. Felt ok as working took my mind off food.

However I have had the second half of a skinny soup - low cal so ok - but also a low cal graze box so hope it hasn't all totted up a bit too much.

Also was trying to stick to one meal a day on down days - tea time when at home or at lunchtime when at work. So failed on that particular front!

Never mind - can try again on Thursday.

170 cal salad and 344 cal ready meal. Plus ?3 cups of tea with milk. That should do it.

Annoyed that calorie values cannot be trusted - the salad was egg, tuna and lettuce, so I expect it's a little down due to all the protein, and the ready meal is probably a little up. The milk will be a little down too, given the protein content. Anyway, tis close enough.

It's around 6:15 here, I've mistakenly ate a very light bagel that came up to 280 or so at lunch.

I have about 220 in calories left for the night. Looking forward to dinner although not quite hungry as I've kept myself busy with a cup of ginger water.

So far days going well, managed to turn down pizza. But I do feel tired, despite not having exercised today as planned. I really fancy a nap to be honest haha.
