fasting
Fasting, yes tomorrow is the 17th of Tammuz, and it's a fast day.
I can't remember what the trick is, eat lots of protein or eat lots of carbohydrates.
Oops, then I'm in trouble. I had more than usual caffeine yesterday. But I did have some oatmeal, made parve in the microwave, after the pool. I added some jam to "cool" it.
I tried to drink water, but it has been tasting "funny."
We're of the "carbo-loading" camp. We figure, it works for the marathon runners, so there must be something to it.
ReplyDeleteI usually make pasta before a fast. Also, drink plenty on the day(s) before, and try to go off caffeine.
My husband quits caffeine a few days before 17 Tamuz, and doesn't go back on it until after Yom Kippur. He has done this for at least 15 years.
Have a meaningful fast, and an otherwise pleasant week!
