I always live by the rule of fasting when you don't feel 100%. This was one of those days for me. Something is definitely going around and i want to avoid it to the best of my ability so fasting is one of my big secrets. Since I'm still nursing Baby T now, i don;t fast on water because it doesn't feel right, so instead i fasted on fruit and tea today. It feels good to do this anyways...to give the body a chance to slow down, digest something simple and conserve energy to fight off all of the nasty little viruses and germs that invade our bodies each and every day. When my kids get sick, they naturally have lessened appetites and eat very meekly. J, who is my biggest eater presently, eats a ton of fruit....all the time. he can polish off a huge container of raspberries (think the large ones from Costco) in a matter of a few minutes.....or he can sit there with those little orange cuties and eat about 8 at a time. He just loves fruit and I just love watching him eat it. Hopefully it will take just a few days to feel back to normal, but for dinner tonight, it was oranges for me. They were delicious too :)
