    Well today is my 2nd fd. Fingers & toes crossed this one goes as easily as the 1st one...

    Keep a secret: Unofficially hubs may have gotten the job! **wink** **nods head** **smile** Officially I'm super excited!!!
  • Good for you (and your H)!
    I did my second FD yesterday. I felt hungrier than I did the first time, probably because my last meal before the second FD (dinner the night before) was a little light. But I made it through pretty well. This morning the scale showed 5+ lbs less than it did before I started on 5:2 (5 days ago). it won't last, I'm sure, but it's definitely encouraging! Good luck and determination to everyone today and through the weekend.

    Ty. It's a relief and Christmas early.

    Same boat, this time I'm hungrier. I had a large dinner last night. 5.67oz Steak, large side salad, asparagus, also had my hflc cheesecake.

  • Mmmm hflc cheesecake .... ;-)

    Just finishing my second FD for this week. Feeling kind of cranky and tired, but I just realized I forgot to eat an orange that I had already logged for today's lunch. oops. I guess I got busy. I am a little over the 500 for today, but I'm ok with it. Like 50. I do like the peace I feel on FD. Now, not to over eat on NFD.

    Been a bit MIA this week.

    Good fast day on Monday and a nice date to boot. Then the week turned.... Was out and about alot and had a low day on Friday, but it definitely didn't count as a fast. And again on an emotional roller coaster. Da****it, how come they don't realize, they are not ready for something new, before they start something new, arggghhh. Shed some tears, because he is not ready for someone like me and because again I am attracted to a man, that is not available. A bit at a loss as what that is trying to tell me, as I have resolved so many issues concerning this. I need some time and will find out.

    It's beautiful weather and spring flowers are blooming and they lift my spirits. So got my balcony ready for spring, went for a ride and a long walk to my fruit farmer and enjoyed the sun and my balcony today. I won't be down for long, but at the moment, I'm allowing myself to feel the sorrow. Pushing it away is not a solution for me.

    Weebles wobble my friends, but they don't fall down. Wobbling a bit today.

    Have a wonderful weekend!

    @flumi_f Maybe God is telling you to stop trying so hard, He will find you the right guy at the right time. That is how it worked for me. (hug)

    Understand you point, Kate and my subscription runs out in April. Will not renew. I have not been looking actively myself...they find me. My heart is open (which is new, so I give some of them a chance.) And each one has their positive traits until they get scared (usually some old baggage catches up with them and they start avoiding communication. Running seems easier to them than confronting their fears. I don't work that way anymore, so I guess, I'm scary to them :p Many become dishonest. Anyway, still figuring out, why I still attract this type of men but I am not drowning in sorrow ;-) As quickly as I let them in, I let them out, when they start running (that's new too) It's all part of my learning process...just hard sometimes.

    None the less I enjoyed my weekend with a ride, 2 walks and several sunshine aperos on my balcony. I walked to the wild garlic field today in memory of my horse. I had to put him down two years ago tomorrow due to blindness (he couldn't cope). We used to ride there together and he would wait patiently for me to gather the leaves. In his honor I am making mashed potatos with fresh wild garlic leaves for dinner and enjoying a glass of red wine to boot. God bless his soul and letting me spend 20yrs with such a wonderful creature and friend.
