Last night was tough. My head started aching a few hours before we could break our fast, but I managed to cope with it. We did make it till 9.36pm and broke our fast with water, dates and milk. As usual, I felt full after having just these three things. We should have waited a bit more before having our full meal after that but we were concerned that it was getting late and we would need to go to bed so soon after the meal.
We had grilled chicken leg, mashed potatoes with corn and peas and some leftover lasagne. I was really full halfway through the meal but some how I convinced myself to finish the whole plate. At the end of the meal, my tummy was so full and tight that it felt very uncomfortable. Pete felt the same and we had to wait as long as possible before we could go to bed.
I felt very uncomfortable and had trouble sleeping. And when the alarm went off at 2.30am, we couldn't eat anything since our tummies are still so full. We only managed to drink a glass of water before falling back to sleep.
This morning, I felt much better. It turned out to be a very sunny and bright day and we spent the whole day indoors. We even managed to take a nap. The nap was great and I felt much better after that. It's already 7.30pm now and yet the sun is still shining very brightly. Soon, I would have to get supper started. It's going to be Pete's favourite fried rice. He's done very well and I try to cook his favourite dishes as a sort of reward, not just for him but also for me. Fasting during summer is not easy at all so I guess a good meal will make our day. But we have to remember to not over eat. No more bloated tummies please.
