The FastDay Forum

Anyone out there today?

Yep! I am on as always. Going to be hard on ANZAC Day. Up really early for the dawn service so I'm hungry already.

Yeah, I'm here. Didn't do the dawn service but I've sung 3 Anzac gigs for those in nursing homes so don't feel guilty. Still getting the urge to do housework on fast days so my house is going to be gleaming to match my improved body!

I was supposed to fast yesterday, but I wasn't feeling so well, so I'm fasting today. So far, so good. I have a day taken up by meetings, which are a good distraction.

Yes I am in again too. Nice late rise and my usual 'souper' around 9.30am...coffee and just now an 8 cal hot choc. Only a few hours to go and those will be easy - a nonna nap, followed by another beach walk with the dogs. Might slip over to Pearl Beach as it is usually quiet and that soft sand is good for my *rse muscles ;>) Enjoy your fast everyone

Hi All,
I'm fasting today as well- really enjoying this WoE but feel a bit despondant as I got a bit to much into the "Eat whatever you like" on the non fast days and pigged out yesterday- feel like I have undone good work. Anyway,chin up.Off for a walk on the Nepean River with my daughter on this gorgeous Anzac Day.
Cheers, julianna

MOOOOOOOORNIIIIIIIIIIING! I'm in today, loads to keep me distracted so I'm feeling positive about getting through the day.

Have a great day everyone! x

Yes, I'm here too!
I still did my laps this morning, then watched Quentin Bryce's speech when I came back. I really admire the lady, (and how does she keep so trim! he he )
Sipping some Chai and starting to look fwd to my 460 or so cals around 6.30.
I must say a walk on the sand sounds nice! Also the singing Chook- was it with a choir?
Have a good fast day wherever you are.

Day just starting here, lots of water on the menu!

No beaches here, guess I'll just have to make do with the forest, and go spend some quality time with our youngster (horse)

Happy fasting everyone

Morning all I'm in today, Monday was a good one, hope today goes the same. Have a nice day everyone.

Yes I am, this is my 2nd fast day.....and am looking forward to dinner!!!!

Yes, fast 21 for me, but strangely had a terrible fast 20 and for the first time had to abandon. So feeling slightly nervous today even though by now it's part of my life. Roll on dinner!

I'm sort of in. Usually fast on Thursdays but going out tonight - so going to fast till then. Couldn't move my days round this week to accommodate as other things on.

Hello everyone, I'm here. Week 4 fast number 8 and going well, enjoying eating this way.
Green tea and fizzy water all day, a cup or two of bovril at lunchtime and mid afternoon. Fish and spinach for dinner and a 10 cal jelly, cup of chai during the evening and 40 cal hot chocolate before bed. I have to admit I don't count any calories, but that's got to be under 500.
Have a good day all.

Yes, we are onto our fast#6.It's already 4.15pm, so I'm nearly at the end of my hungry hours. I tend to do ok until about 3pm. It's not a very nice day here, cold and drizzly, so I am inside. OH is watching the ANZAC day Essendon/Collingwood match and is yelling at the telly. I have resorted to a cup of hot water mixed with half a teaspoon of vegimite. I don't know how many caloried that would be but I couldn't face yet another cup of tea. This morning, before I hit the 'hungry hours' I made a batch of ANZAC biscuits. It is the first time I've done anything like that on a fast day, so that's another hurdle. I was scrupulously good and didn't even lick my fingers. They will be there tomorrow. Dinner tonight is a salad made with porterhouse steak, with green beans, tomatoes and potatoes. I subscribe to Delicious magazine, so it's in the March 06 edition: best beef salad and I counted up the calories for a serve and it came out at 250. It looks ok. Roll on 6 oclock!
