The FastDay Forum

[carieoates]

So today I have the chicken thighs in my salad, with bagged leaves, coldslaw and beetroot, plus a treat. A bounce energy bar, which is gorgeous and on special in sainsburys. Wouldn't pay £2 for it. Am decarbonating this week need to catch up with my buddy

A bounce energy bar?! Wow! I think I could do with one of those. Actually, having said that, yesterday was a pretty good day for me. I felt almost normal. No aches, some energy to walk the girls. I think maybe the fasting is actually helping me now. Its always a bit of a gamble with ME because you don't know whether you should be fasting or not...but now I think I should!! I must say, I feel pretty good this morning too...and it is, of course, my fast day!
Your lunch sounds so healthy Oatesy. Anyone would think you were on a fast day. I'm not too sure what to have tonight. I'm leaning towards a cheesey, bacony, mushroomy omelettey type thing. Don't know yet. Maybe fish n chips would be better!!
I'm currently reading a book called "Stoner". Has anyone read it. Its so well written. Wonderful book! Talking of books, we really must start a Book Club again. I miss that!
Anyway, have a great day buddies. Candy? You're very quiet today. I hope those green things haven't abducted you

Well done bean. I'm really pleased for you, feeling good is all we want really isn't it. The rest just follows then.

@nursebean yoohoo i' m here
Just bean reading youre feeling well today x soooo pleased for you,i know how much that means. As @carieoates said,its all any of us really want isnt it. Feeling good makes life worthwhile...x
our health probs make us oh so grateful for the good days
Well,today Bean i am going to see a film called Whiplash,which is about a drummer. Not sure i fancy it,but Beau always comes with me to see what i fancy so...
Then we're going for something to eat afterwards..yum yum..xx


Ps no havent read that book tho ive heard the title..wots it about Beano?

Oh Candy! You've beaten me by one day! I was planning on seeing Whiplash tomorrow. It had great reviews from Dr Kermode and Monsieur Mayo! It has one of my favourite actors who is normally in smaller parts, but always stands out in films. For example, he was in Spiderman and was in charge of the newspaper!
Anyway, it was Kermode's film of the week and its sounds brilliant...hope you enjoy it!!!
As for yesterday. It was so wonderful to feel "normal". No aches and more energy. Today the aches have returned but I've just taken the girls for a beautiful walk over the golf course!
Think I'm going to have cheese omelette with bacon tonight. Just about to work out the calories

Just looked at the trailer. Wow! This looks like an exciting film..

Oh Candy, there's me imagining you at the cinema. Oh what a shame! Still, at least you have Friday to look forward to now. D'you want me to let you know what I thought about it? We're going to see it tomorrow lunch time (groan...tummy may be a bit on the rumbly by then!) Bet you're excited now you've seen the trailer!
Those green things are addictive aren't they. Just right you us two!!

Got decarbonation headache.
Drinking like a mad woman but not a drop of booze still. I can wait till the end of the month

Carie,whats a decarbonation headache? Hope it goes soon x
Bean,yes be our film critic please
The trailer i saw at the cinema and the trailer you sent...it seemed verrrry noisy ( will drown out yr tummy grumbles!)and that teacher guy was a bit violent and scary but yes i think it will be a fascinating and absorbing film
Are you going with yr aunty? X
40 cal hotchoc for Candy now x

[carieoates]

I'm low carbing candy. So the dreaded peeing non stop and headache, that's all a good sign but still a pain in the ...

Ohh i see what you mean now Carie! I was thinking carbon rather than carbo!
Is this what ive heard called Carb flu?
Looks like ive got something delightful to look forward to when i eventually start low carbing then!
All in a goodcause tho isnt it! X hope it passes soon Caro x

Well done Oatsey! You are doing so well this month by going alcohol-free...and now,low carbs
Mmm my Cheerios are delish!

[carieoates]

It's not so bad. Got a salad with crab sticks. It's 113 cals for a fast day lunch. Not bad and the chewing will make me feel full up more that the cuppa soup I recon. Plus I have an oxo for a salty warming Drink.

What will you be munching on tonight? Thats the question!
I've just come back from my cinema trip to see "Whiplash". Without giving anything away, Candy...it is just brilliant! Be prepared for a whirlwind of emotions!
