americas sounds really tough, so good luck with your fast, but don't stress too much if it goes by the wayside, insufficient sleep, packing and childcare of littlies, maybe a good for the soul nourishing soup of chicken, veg and noodles (with some thai spice?) would help?
do they go to any childcare to give you a break to pack? I know what DC's 'help packing' can look like, and have resolved to only do it when they are not there!
i'm fasting, and so far have already managed to consume 330 cals, so it's going to be a very light broth for supper later to get me back on track.
I managed to allow myself to sabotage Mondays fast, got home, after doing well all day, made soup for supper, but cheese crackers and cold veg snacks for kids, and had half of my soup and just thought sod it, I want cheese and crackers, and then the neighbours phoned (my dd had climbed out her bedroom window and disappeared round there without telling me) to say she had informed them I was having a bad day, had given up on healthy and did I want to come round for wine? well obviously the answer was yes (2 small glasses, followed by a slice of toast later)!
my excuse is I'm dealing with more delays from the people buying my place, so under loads of stress now having to postpone move while we wait for more searches to come back that they applied for late...aagghhh meanwhile the rest of the chain ready and keen to go, as am I.
anyway, i have to practice this quality called patience, that I don;t have much of......I will keep trying. and will attempt to get to the end of todays fast.
ellen i'm with you, I think I need to try and skip first 2 meals on non fast days too, to minimise the damage!
breadandwine thanks so much for teh offer, once the stress has subsided I would love to pick your brains, lets just get me moved first.
laska hope you find your necklace. and thanks for asking, I didn't get my money back from rotten lodger, just hoping karma gets her in the end!
