Today was really hard. I struggled to concentrate at work and just felt generally grumpy all day. But then I got home and ate my well deserved 170kCal dinner and actually felt fantastic. I got a massive burst of energy and have been scurrying around doing chores and tidying up and generally feeling very content. I'm comparing this with yesterday evening when I felt lethargic and sleepy with no inclination to do anything other than go to bed, following the enormous work lunch earlier in the day.
So what I have learned?
1. Even really rubbish fast days can be survived. Next time I am having a difficult day I can look back on this one and remember that it all turned out fine in the end.
2. Eating a huge lunch and a very small dinner the day before a fast day is not great planning. It's not something I will always have control over but at least I can recognise it and be prepared for the consequences.
3. Eating a huge lunch may not be a great idea at the best of times. Hmm, I'll reserve judgement on that one...
