The FastDay Forum

Huh?! Toffees?!! You naughty Oatesy!!
My mum sometimes gets problems with her salivery glands. Her doctor advised her to suck a lemon (no, really!) which seem to help. Can you see any little white spots in your mouth or anything? Has it caused you any problems?
Now Candy? Are you joining me today? I'm all geared up and ready to go! Well I say that...I couldn't put my Brideshead Revisited down this morning and I've now got about 6 or 7 items that need packing...hoorah!! Just need to get going really. Thought I'd pop in here first and say good morning to you all.
Good day to you all!

Yes I'm fine thanks girls.
Allowing myself some cold tuna pasta salad again. Now the I know more about resistant starch. Some things are coming back into my diet. Sometimes.
No spots bean. and no lemons being sucked here. I have some sugar free sweets and some chewing gum.

How's it going for our fasting bean?

No sucking lemons?! Thats crazy!
The fast is coming along brilliantly! I haven't eaten a single, solitary crumb! Tonight I'm having some sort of Steak pie (basically steak, potato and veg). Haven't felt too hungry today really. Managed to walk Minnie (Poppy had rumbly tums today so went on a shorter walk with granny) but it felt as though I was walking through treacle. Tough going...but I managed to do it! Minnie didn't seem to enjoy it very much without Pops!
Had a few sales this morning which kept me busy and I also managed to finish Brideshead Revisited...so all in all feeling pretty pleased with myself
How's life with Oatesy and Candy Cane?
Bean

I' m afraid its fish n chips tonight Bean...only half a portion of chips tho and a small piece off a fish
DD will have the rest..
She has a nice chippy right by her house,plus FIVE restaurants and a lovely cafe,so theres always gonna be times when only eating out will do! x

Great news all round. I'm loving your updates Bean. Let's hope you can keep it up til Xmas. Did you weigh in on Monday morning?

Ooooh fish and chips. Haven't had tea yet been to have my nails done, then popped into in laws to give MIL her birthday pressie. Got DD a Burger King on the way back. Yuk!

Perhaps I should be sucking lemons. I've now got such a dry mouth it's horrible. I was asked of o had a dry mouth,......well the answer now is YES. bleughhhh

So tomorrow I'm fatsing again and meeting my mate @madcatlady, she's done very well losing 3st.

Right I'm off to find some tea. The fridge is bare as its sains delivery tomorrow.

Hey, hey HEEEEEYYYYY!!! Enough of the fish n chips and burgers already some of us haven't eaten much ALL DAY!!!
Ahem, well I'm back and I've eaten. I'm afraid I'm being a bit naughty today and I've just added a splash of milk to my coffee. I know, I'm crazy but there you go.
Today I have literally eaten a 391 calorie M&S meal (who else?) and some peas. It was delish, although to be honest I think anything would have been delish after all those hours of not eating
Oatesy I did weigh myself on Monday but I don't want to weigh until I feel lighter. There was a time when I would weigh every day and I think that becomes a bit depressing at times, although it does help to keep you on track on those feast days.
Cor Madcatlady HAS done well...3 stone?! I hope you two are popping out to celebrate...with some miso maybe
What are your nails like? Have you had a special colour applied? Any photos?
Well I'd better go and enjoy my coffee. I must say I'm looking forward to lunch time tomorrow...already

Sparkly nail

Well done for yesterday. Fasting today. Here's my nails.
I've not gone bonkers as have another session before Xmas when I will be going very xmasy.
Been to class, might have a cuppa soup later.
I'd weigh bean, every day so you can see the fluctuations.

Oh wow! Look at those sparkly nails! You're so lucky having such great nails. When I was small I caught my fingers in the door. I was just taking my wellington boots off and was leaning on the door frame, just at that moment my mum answered the front door. This sent an enormous draft through the house which slammed the door...where my fingers were...ouch!! Anyway, I have shall we say rather unique fingers on my right hand now. I still wear nail varnish sometimes though...but I just CAN'T have my nails very long at all, they feel all spongy and horrible!
Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing the Christmas nails
Hope your fast is going well Oatsey! Is that another Ainsley Harriot Cuppa soup you'll be having (or have had)? What are they like by the way? Whats on the main menu tonight? Let me guess...salmon?!
Well its getting close to 12 o'clock and I STILL haven't eaten, and thats after a fast day so I'm pretty pleased with my self-control at the moment.
I'm currently reading an Agatha Raisin. Has anyone else read these? They're very entertaining. I call them my sorbet books. I read a tome and then enjoy an Agatha afterwards! I recommend them for a bit of light reading
Anyway, I hope you and Candy are having a great day. In fact, its all quiet on the Candy Cane front. Have you got your tablets yet Candy? @Candicemarie? I do hope so
Have a great day guys
Bean

Hi Bean! @nursebeanWell its 12:12 so it's - da da dadah! -officially lunchtime!
Owwwwwww re yr poor fingers getting trapped....
No, most disappointed that Posty didnt have my pills this morning
I rang the pharmacist yesterday and they had been posted,so maybe tomorrow..
3 months worth,but will last me longer as can only take a very small dose and build up very slowly according to Doc.( us unfortunates with M. E. / CFS start on just 0.5 mg in liquid form)
If my dodgy math is correct,works out about £6 a week..well worth it if i get some improvement. X
Carie @Carieoatesthose nails are great! Isnt nail art fabulous! X

Sounds as though they should arrive tomorrow then Candy. I sure do hope so xx
What a grey day! I've only sold one thing today. Its probably because everyone is grabbing a Black Friday bargain...doh! Maybe tomorrow will pick up
Bean

[carieoates]

Looking forward to my venison steak, garlic mushrooms, asparagus and buttery courgette for dinner.
Three hours and counting.

Mmmmmmm

Not long now Carie!
Bean,yes its coz its Black Friday your sales are down
(Cannot believe yet another " thing" has taken hold in the uk..!meh!)

It's bean a crazy day really hasn't it! Not good for Funkos that's for sure
So? How was that delicious meal Oatsey? Any good?
Just watched a couple of episodes of Breaking Bad. This is now the THIRD time I've watched it...still good, but not sure my dad is overly impressed!
