The FastDay Forum

I'm surprised to hear you say that Carie @Carieoates only you always prepare fresh food yourself and you're always on the go with exercise classes too. I'm sure you'll be fine tomorrow.
I haven't bean able to do yoga for a couple of days but I have just come back from an invigorating walk with the girls. Its freezing out there. Don't let the sunshine fool you!
Just going to have a coffee now to warm up (and I'm adding a dash of milk. Crazy I know!)

You may have overdone it earlier on with the yoga, but you always feel better after don't you.
I think I may have been a little nibbler this week due to hormones. I've had risotto, Xmas cake and cheese and crackers. You never know it may be alright on the night, also need to be more mindful over the weekend. No Chinese gateway, chicken kebab instead. Less salt and carbs you see.

I get the feeling somebody loves Chinese food

Oh boy...had my weigh-in this morning. I've lost 1 pound! Its not supposed to slow down this quickly, I'm only in week 2. I am absolutely gutted. Thats it. I'm not going to weigh again for at least 2 weeks.

[carieoates]

Well done for losing a pound Bean.
I'm a pound up so 12.4.
Need to shake myself down and get sorted otherwise I will not get to goal before my hols.
See it's not so bad after all is it.

Hmmm still disappointed. Never mind. I'm not going to weigh myself again until 6th February...when I'm off to sunny Padstow...more like snowy Padstow. Hey ho!
When are you off to Florida Oatesy? @Carieoates
I'm fasting tomorrow and I have to say I'm actually looking forward to it. I just haven't enjoyed today's 'feast' as much as I thought I was going to. I certainly can't eat as much as I used to eat and don't enjoy sweet things so much. This is all good, though, isn't it. Tomorrow I'm going to copy my buddy and have salmon. Not sure what to have with it. We shall see...
...tomorrow here I come

Beano @nursebean i didnt know you were going so soon! Something nice to look forward to! X

I must say, I really am looking forward to it now. It'll be nice to get away from the shop and be able to relax and read and walk the girls (if its not too cold) and most of all to be able to look out over the Camel Estuary. I love it there!

[carieoates]

We go 25th March. I'm a wee bit excited as we spend Easter weekend in Florida keys.!
Birthday in padstow bean ? know it's a week or so before mine!
Half term is 16th get around here.
Weigh when you want to. But I bet you'll get to 11.11 before me.

Ooh I'm not so sure. You know what holidays are like...and by the sea?!! We're both in for trouble aren't we.
My birthday is 8 Feb. If I remember rightly yours is 4 days later isn't it? We're sort of twins aren't we!

Ohh 8th Feb hey @nursebean? And @carieoates is the 12th? Aquarius folk same as my beau! X

[carieoates]

Nearly bean mines the 11th. Well done though you were close.
Well candy that's just me to a tee.

Hmm Candy...some of that relates to me.
Oh come on Oatesy! I wasn't FAR out! Just 3 days older than you eh?
I'm fasting again today. Not sure what to do nearer my holiday as I won't be fasting then. I may do a back to back the week before just to get an extra day in and I won't be eating breakfast on holiday...and will just play it safe...won't go mad...but WILL eat fish n chips!

[carieoates]

Fish and chips.........yummy.
Seaside fish and chips are the bestest.
I've kicked myself up the bum and next week I will do better bean. Don't want go let my buddy down.

Rick Stein fish n chips no less!! (oh boy, how I could eat them now )
I can't understand what went wrong with you last week buddy. It must have bean the Chinese. You're off alcohol this month aren't you?
Don't worry, though. I'm sure this week will be a good one for you!
