Fasting today Monday 6th May
05 May 2013, 20:34
Nothing to eat until 6pm and then I can have my 500 cals. This is my 4 th fast. It's not really so bad but I still feel apprehensive about hunger.
I'm fasting today too. Woke up with drumming sinuses though, so if that doesn't improve I might bump it to tomorrow.
Also fasting today, I'm just enjoying my morning green tea before setting off for the day. Haven't yet decided what I will be having to eat later oh well maybe inspiration will hit me at work.
Yes I am in too - after 3 days of wine, cakes & song! Had a cup of 'souper' and a piccolo coffee this morning - have a flask of black coffee to get me thru the day, then curried veg & lentils tonight
Same here about the apprehension regarding hunger, but I am noticing its easier than the first day. Its more a mind thing than a stomach thing. Fast number 4 come on.
Fast number 3 for both myself and hubby. Hubby has been most impressed by the week 1 results, he was initially just doing it to support me however now I think that may be changing. Split my calories between breakfast and dinner and during the day so busy at work that I don't really notice the hunger.
This will be my 3rd day, did two last week. Black tea, green tea, plenty of water today for me, and a 165 cal veggie soup for dinner tonight. Will be my husband's first day, so I'll be expecting a couple of phone calls / texts from him, he was really worried about the hunger. I'll also be doing my first rigorous exercise this morning while fasting so that should shake things up! Have a great Fast Day everyone!
Morning all, I'm fasting today and generally find Monday easier than Thursday. Will save my calories for lemon haloumi chicken and asparagus this evening. Lots of tea, black, white and green to get me through the day. Happy Monday fasting.
GMH I had the same 3 days as you although yesterday was more of a recovery day after songs cake and wine wine wine!!! So a coffee then off to work as soon as my husband gets the NRMA to jump start his car and move it out of my way.
I'm fasting today, too. It's the last day of the Golden Week holiday in Japan. I've worked the whole time, though, so it hasn't felt like a holiday at all. I'm doing a lot of writing just now, and I find it doesn't mix well with fasting. looks like a gorgeous day here so I can fit in some walks when the hunger distracts me too much.
Monday in Phoenix tomorrow - my 6th fast day. I get hungry so I split my food between 2 meals, plus an extra bowl of salad w/lime if needed. The stomach growling has been less as time goes on. I actually feel good on fast days just wish my results were better but will continue since I know eventually it will kick in.
Fast number 3 for me today too, was dreading the thought last night but am feeling very positive today and am actually looking forward to fasting! Have a great day all!
Fast 23 for me. It's weird but I look forward to Mondays! The cat and I have had my porridge for breakfast. She very kindly saves me from myself by cleaning up the last bit in the bowl.
Good morning from a cooler Brisbane
My 4th fast. I don't put much thought into it anymore because I know it is just water and a black coffee till 6pm.
I woke up with an acidic taste in my mouth..too much sugar yesterday! It was good at the time, and I don't regret it, but this tired feeling I have this morning will make me think twice next time!
Pilchards your dinner sounds so nice and tasty! if it's not too much trouble can you share the recipe and weights of the ingredients? I'll go get the ingredients later. I was very pleased on Friday, I did my weekly grocery shopping on my fast day and did not buy or eat anything! I had my list, got everything and didn't feel the urge to eat.

I am still trying to get my husband on board.I know he will shed the kg easy, but he is worried about focusing at work.He was impressed with my weight loss last week, so fingers crossed!

I had my first black coffee with coconut oil in this morning. I really struggle with black coffee. But it's 2 a week, so nothing to complain about hey?
Have you all read the article about coconut oil?

First weights workout for me too on a fast day.

All the best for you all may we all have the willpower today!
UN2NET tell your husband mine fasts on work days. His job is full on but he has no problem focusing. He fasts all day until dinner time no problem.
