The FastDay Forum

You will be right back on track Monday,Carie..yr coming hol gives you every incentive
Its natural to relax a bit at half term,and any relaxation can make us feel down/ overwhelmed/ defeated...
But we also know,get a few fast n repair days under our belts and we're back in the swing of things,on our horsies,clippety clop! X
You more than anyone are soooo positive about yr food and yr exercise, so you WILL get sorted! X

Yes don't worry Oatesy! Its surprising how quickly you get back into the swing of things. I've just looked at my diary and realise that, because of my back pain, I ended up having 2 weeks off really, rather than 1 and in that time I had breakfast every day. The familiar swollen look plagued me for most of my holiday. However, a week after fasting...
...I can now wear my new pyjamas without feeling hideous! Yes, Bean is back...and you will be too Oatesy. Trust me!
Hey, I've woken up pretty ache-free this morning...hoorah! Perhaps today is going to be a good one after all
How's you Candy?

You are both right and I know that I will be determined. Now I have an absolute goal to work towards.
It's a crisp bright morning here, went out with my camera yesterday with DD and got a few nice shots, have Holiday clothes shopping to complete today with my trusty marks and spencer 20% off voucher code. Haven't had a hols this long without the use of a washing machine for years so a bit anxious about underwear, need to buy more for all three of us.

Yes Oatesy's 30-Day challenge begins here...well tomorrow! Any weight you think you've put on over this half-term...will disappear in no time. Mark my words!
I can't believe it but Candy is actually fasting today too. We're actually in sync. Hoorah! (thats frothy water of course! )

Phooey! That was a looooooooooooong fast yesterday! Mind you, I managed to go without eating my Cheerios which was a minor miracle I'd say.
Getting a bit worried about my shop. Nothing seems to sell at the moment.
Hope you guys have a great day. Back on the saddle today, eh Oatesy? I'm sure you're ready for it now aren't you

I agree Bean,yesterday was one big old fight!
And the day seemed to go on forever! X
Good luck today Mrs Oatsey xx! Hope its one of those lovely smooth easy fasts xx

Hiya girls
Im back to work and back to MWF fasting. Soon be Oxo time.

Well done you Mrs Oatesy! Thats what I like to hear!
I was so hungry just now I quickly ate some cheese and then some marshmallows. Now I feel really guilty

[carieoates]

I've a confession.... I went over by a bit yesterday, about 650 cals and today i am much less hungry.
Just had lunch. Prawns, lettuce, little bit of cold pasta and prawn cocktail sauce. Now having a chicken noodle cup soup. Nothing now till dinner think it may include sausages, beans and celeriac chips

Oh I shouldn't worry about it. Sounds as though you're making up for it today anyway!
I've got chicken thighs, gravy, mash, carrots and peas...all for a wonderfully low 308 calories! I've had a hot chocolate out today (doesn't contain any calories ) and also I'm just supping my ginger cordial (also surprisingly free of calories )
Managed to walk the girls today. The sun came out and despite the wind chill it was rather pleasant. I think I've worked off the hot chocolate, so thats a relief!
Managed to sell my first Alfred Hitchcock today...hoorah!

How's the Candy Cane fast going?

Doing ok thanks Bean...tum is quietly objecting to the lack of food but i' m simply ignoring it!
Mmm Carie...snosages..ive deffo got to have snosage n mash or toad in hole sometime soon! X

[carieoates]

Bean is that you being pulled along by your dawgies?

Just been to tesco and got DD some double choc hot cross buns. She doesn't like them toasted with real butter on. I promise that I will not eat them. Hopefully the DS will or his girlfriend.
Snosages,

OMG! Did you just say...didyou just say...double choc hot cross buns!

[carieoates]

Ok Candy,,...
I will hold the forte whilst you go and investigate. I know you'll, need support and strength. Shall I call the coast guard, marines or the Air Force. It's a tough job but yes I think you're up to it.

But they're choc with White choc Chios. A bit bitter for the DD as proper choc flavour, yuk.
Right my celeriac chips are nearly ready so will out the beans on.

I have to pick my prescription up tomorrow Carie ..and put a cheque in the bank..and guess what lies smack bang in the middle of the chemists and the Bank?
Yessir a Tesco superstore..i think they' ll be stocked up with the little beauties..going to get a pack but keep them in the freezer and just eat one at a time....
Hope you enjoyed dindins..i' m trying to hold out for a while longer,having steak and veg,no chips today coz fasting. Must look up celeriac chips,they sound tasty! XX
