Good afternoon to you all on another glorious day! This is what summer should have been like – a warm breeze, brilliant blue sky and shimmering sea.
I’m fasting today and rather than use the exercise bike in the shed this morning before breakfast, as has been my wont, I decided I would use the road bike again this afternoon. I cycled the same route as I have done the past two afternoons but goodness me! was there a difference in my strength! My legs were burning and I had to drop gears. I can only assume that all my glycogen (?) had already dissipated and I notice that the hunger pangs have increased 🙁 Normally by this time on a fast day I have forgotten about food. Not sure if this has been a good idea. Well, by Monday (my next fast I think) the rain is supposed to be here so there will be no chance of me being out on the road anyway. Have any of you noticed a difference in your exercise capabilities later on in a fast day?
Audrey – “I usually have an oxo at lunch” I have never drunk an oxo cube! does it have any calories? What does it taste of? I’m curious because I get a bit tired of fruit teas on fast days. I really want to last out till 7.00pm – 12 hours no food – but right now I could scoff a three course meal and go back for seconds!!
