Hello fellow 5:2'ers. I've survived my first fast! So many people mentioned saving some precious cals for a mug of hot chocolate before retiring on a fast day. That's what I'm enjoying now.
The day went pretty well, I think. Lots of tea. I brought some homemade veg broth into work, just in case, and went through about a cup of it and dumped the rest. Just had my tea and water, then the dinner I had already prepared, weighed, and tracked the eve before.
I'm usually a "never-miss-a-meal" type, plus snacks. Plus wine. So I was pretty surprised to basically not die
or pass out on the subway tracks or other horror scenarios I'd imagined. I was at work, working. I don't think anyone in the office could have told you I hadn't eaten breakfast or lunch. I like that I had a nice din, so won't have that inability to fall asleep due to growling tum.
One down, many to go!

I think for a lot of us the fast days have been quite a revelation, that you can actually survive a whole day without food! 
I like how much clearer and more energetic I feel when I'm fasting.
