    Had pasta for the first time in a while.......and I feel so BLOATED! Also PMS time too. Think tomorrow will be my second fast day this week because hubby wants to do pizza on Friday. It's the first day of school tomorrow for one of the kids and hubby so I think I will take the rest of the kids to a movie since it is supposed to be raining.....interested to see how being up earlier will effect my fast day.

    11.30pm on my second FD this week and it's turning into a toughie. I'm in that mood where you're drumming your fingers on the arm of the chair, but too unfocused to do anything useful or sustained. Too wide awake to go to sleep as I'll just lie in bed staring at the ceiling. Bleh.

    Hope you can get some sleep

    ......my 2nd fast day of the week too. It was going fine till about an hour ago. It's not even that I actually feel hungry, just can't seem to stop thinking of food. I complete fast on my fast Days but today I thought doing 500 cal. But I know myself....feeling the way I do 500 would definitely turn into more. Bedtime needs to hurry up and get here so I can just crawl into bed.

    Right there with you. I was salivating as I planned tomorrow's meals >.<

    Made it through yesterday. Was expecting to wake up really hungry, but right food just doesn't sound good at all......it's crazy how different you feel when you know you can eat. It's a family pizza night tonight. Looking forward to that. Kids have all joked that since hubby and I are on a "diet" that they are too......so they will be surprised. We have a huge potluck on Sunday for JROTC so I am debating another fast day tomorrow. I will see if can eat enough today to get through one, and go from there.

    I started out having a fd yesterday, got my exercise in and ate a yogurt around 2pm then the husband said lets go see a movie! So, after devouring about 5 cups worth of popcorn during a so/so movie we decided to stop for hot dogs & a beer at this little beach place on the way home! So figuring I did 5:2 in the way of 5 cups of popcorn and 2 bottles of beer... Does this count? Sigh..... :#B)
    It's Friday!!! Have a great weekend everyone!

    Came out of my summer vacation and work trip at 65kg....way too high for little old me and 8kg over my low of 57kg, which I was quite happy with.

    That scared and motivated me and I had a easy and perfect fast yesterday and was around maintenance today. Weighed in at 64 today. Thus the water is gone. Now I need to chip on the fat :p I have decided to log again on most days as I want to get back to my low and into my clothes....some of my pants are just too tight. Not an option!

    Life should be a little more normal now and make it easier to fast more regularly.

    Oh and I vow to open a new thread on Sunday. Life's been a bit crazy as of late....

    So I guess I'm fasting again today. This will actually be my 3rd fast day this week but since we are having a huge potluck for Booster Boot Camp for JROTC tomorrow I feel it's necessary. Otherwise I won't feel like I can enjoy it. I have to do a lot of cooking today for it so that could be interesting.

    Well turns out no fast day today. Hubby decided we were doing steaks on the grill......oh well. I wasn't really feeling a 3rd fast day anyway

    I actually pulled off a decent fast day yesterday - 520 cals! I felt a little toxic after all the salted & buttered popcorn the day before! Today I will be smart and so far so good. Looking forward to cooler temps soon! Pretty sure I have more willpower in cooler weather! Next week I'd like to have 2 fasts instead of one! Hope everyone is doing well B)

    Ignore this if I'm talking out of turn, but if you've done two fast days where you ate nothing at all ... you can seriously just enjoy the rest of the week as if you were eating normally - even if there is a potluck to attend. I'm a bit worried, really, when you say that you feel you won't be able to enjoy it unless you fast for a third day.
