The FastDay Forum

[carieoates]

Hi there girls. I'm here everyday.
Now that's a thought, crisps and wine. Actually, haven't had neither, in retrospect I could say I've not had crisps or wine all month.
Ouch, my cat just decided that my foot is a little toy mouse or something.

My weds fast was better than mondays, I have to say that I'm going to have to stay IFing forever as im not sure if I can eat mindfully without it.
Who's in today. NOT ME.

Where are you @nursebean and @CandiceMarie

My news is that I've got into a great xmas challenge groove. Not overeating on feast days. Hapoy Oatie. The forum TDEE has been a bit too high in all honesty and seeing as it's just a guideline ive messed about with the figures and got apnea cal goals.
In reality I've been having 1500 and 500-600 and keeping carbs below 80g. That's worked for me and if you check out my tracker you'll see what's happend during the past three weeks. 4lb loss.
What with no alcohol its made me complete all. My Friday fasts properly. I tried low cal ginger beer and wasn't keen like you bean.
So what's going on with you. Not too cream crackered I hope.

Hiiiiiiiii Caro! And Beano!
Well done on being right in the groove @carieoatesX
Will join you there,now DD & SIL are in their new home rather than here...
No real excuse i know,spesh as DD was great staying at mine..she did 19:5 every day for almost 12 weeks...just black coffee til evening meal - looking great for it..
As for me,I saw having them here as reason to celebrate with treats n booze nearly all the time.
Now clambering back on my horse..he's shaking his head muttering on,off,on,off..make ya mind up! :0)

Progress

It's half term for me and daughter....she's still sleeping, that's what teenagers like to do ISNT it.
We are currently re decorating her bedroom, to be more grown up. Will post a pic when done, she's been painting, sanding, clearing up. I'm really pleased with the progress and colours so far.
Today inhave packed my two boys off to their new jobs. Both nervously excited. Hubs starting the biggest career move of his life. Got his best suit on so that's how important it is.

Ohh wowCarie @carieoates what a big day for the fambly!
Like those cool colours
Enjoy yr halfterm break x

Hello (she says humbly!)
Wow! Oatsey! I'm SO impressed with how you're doing at the moment. You're really in the "zone" aren't you. Wish I could say the same. I seem to have gone right off the boil (bit like my buddy Candy ) Hey ho! I'm sure I'll get back into the swing of it.
Sorry I was so "aloof" but I've bean working really hard on my shop trying to get everything listed. Well its all on now so I can breathe a little bit.
How's the decorating going?
Oh I don't think I told you but a couple of weeks ago I wrote a letter to Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo for their 5 Live film show...and they read it out! I was SO excited I can't tell you. I'm still buzzing now and have it on podcast so I can listen to it whenever I like. Sad but true!! I would say its definitely on a par with meeting Harrison Ford. What an eventful time I'm having lately.
Candy? How are you getting on? You ok? Hows the fasting?
Look forward to hearing all your news girlies...

Bean

Well hello stranger.
Glad you've been away because you're busy rather than anything else.
I seem to have turned a corner I admit. No booze, avid calorie logging has helped me no end. I have debs, Madcatlady and wendydarling watching my every move as we are friends on MFP. so I get to spy on them too.
So it seems that you are now a celebrity. Can you say what the letter was about ?
I've been a tad busy this week getting bits and bibs done over half term. This is Lauren's bedroom all finished re-decorating now. Just adding the finishing touches.
Hope you will soon be fasting again. You did so well this time last year, we hardly knew each other, can you believe it.
So there's some pics of my daughters hard work with a bit of help from mum of course.

Oooh a lovely job on DDs bedroom! X
Beano,not doing bad,fasted mon and will tomorrow( tho tues/ wed have been disastrous )
Podcast,how do i listen? Is it same as listen again? X x
