fast note

This probably isn't of interest to anyone else; it's just a reminder for myself, because it's taken me a few years to figure this out.

The following worked well for pre-Yom-Kippur meals:

Lunch: large meal, protein -- big piece of fish, veggies, bread, some rice (Mallorca).

Dinner: normal-sized meal, protein -- spinach quiche, herring, carrots, soy milk.

Gradually reduced the caffeine over the week; Friday I had tea with lunch and one can of Diet Coke mid-afternoon. Headache started around 5pm Yom Kippur; don't know if it was caffeine, eyestrain (lighting sub-optimal in parts of synagogue), or something else.

I had to walk to shul because I was out of town and didn't have access to a car. The shul was only a 15-minute walk away so I didn't figure it'd be a problem. However, the walk was all uphill and the A/C in the building was dodgy. (Plus it was pretty humid.) So when I got there, I found myself panting and sweating, and my head (and arms and hands) felt like all the skin was too tight. Luckily, the walk back was downhill, but -- yucky.
