So this weekend was a total bust. Complete 180 from last weekend. To say that I got slammed at work all weekend long would be a severe understatement, so literally my chain of survival became work, sleep, take care of the dog, shower, repeat. I think I had an average of about one meal per day this entire weekend, starting on Friday. I tried to stay faithful as far as the meals go - not eating too much and not straying from the no carbs. That part went ok, not perfect, but it wasn't awful. But when it came to snack time I was a bad bad little girl. The chips and Smartfood at base finally got to me. I know, there's no excuse. Ever since I had that sick day on Wednesday night/Thursday I've just been struggling with getting back on track. Well, as of tomorrow morning, I will be. I'll have 3 days off from work to recuperate and reset myself and I'm going to do it like a champ. I finally got the cold that I've been fighting off so there will be plenty of orange juice in this house but otherwise I'm staying away from the "I feel sorry for myself" soup and garbage. My digestive system really took a beating - and I mean a beating. I was kind of struggling this past week with getting to the bathroom regularly, which I chalked up to the doubling of my normal amount of protein. But let me tell you, putting junk back in my system really turned that one around quickly. It was an unfortunate beneficial side effect.
I have about 10 days left to really turn this around. I don't expect to see like HUGE results with the small amount of time but it would be nice to be that much closer to my goal. That's really all I'm asking for here. I truly need to get back on track, sickness be damned.
I know I promised to stop being cliche and start things on Mondays, but I'm not waiting another day!
glad you had the same reaction to eating junk - after my choc chip pancakes and hash browns on sunday, i had to IMMEDIATELY rush to the bathroom. it's really amazing how quickly the body learns to give up tolerance to certain junk. i think it was the gluten that did it for me...! it sucks, but it's good that the body punishes for those kinds of things!
ReplyDeleteYeah it was awful. It took my body a few hours to realize what I did and when it finally got the gist I paid for it big time. I don't know what did me in but it certainly wasn't happy. I really miss pancakes though...I'll have to go grab some almond flour.
