miss_lucy21I got a really graphic reminder of why I don't fast on fasting days, of which today was one, although I was not intentionally trying to fast.
I had my usual bowl of cereal for breakfast, and then a banana when I got to work (the cereal is pretty much all I can manage when I first wake up, but it's not enough to get me to lunch, hence second breakfast when I get to work). But I was out of trail mix bars, which I usually eat mid-morning, so I didn't really have a morning snack. I did have an orange, but yeah, no protein. Well, then I wound up needing to wait to eat lunch until I'd made sure that the people in the quarterly manager meeting had gotten their catering okay, which didn't happen until 12:30. And then I had to go get lunch, so I didn't actually eat until 1. Yeah. I was shaking by then. Not good. Better than the Ash Wednesday when I nearly passed out during church (which was the year I discovered that um, no, I should not be fasting), but not a really good plan.
However, vegetarian chili with brown rice for dinner was definitely a good plan. Mmm. Chili belly.
