In connection to the "Only Human..." post: I have been feeling more like my hyper, energetic self lately; I am stronger in the gym and my runs are steady and consistent; and my closet has changed from things-that-have gotten-snug-on-me to things that hang well on me again. And because of all of this, I am happy, happy, happy! I likey.
BUT it all comes to a screeching halt because we had some people over for football yesterday (it's so hard to be an Eagles fan~ugh!). Normally this wouldn't be an obstacle for me at all, but nutrition-wise, it was a very bad day for Dee Kelly. When people bring side dishes, I feel obligated to try some partly because that look yummy and partly out of courtesy. Anyway, so brace yourself and listen to what I consumed: I ate a delicious berry/fruit tart thing, some buffalo chicken dip with Fritos, a brownie and another chocolate-peanut dessert square. I also had a few Bud Light Limes, which are so delish and go perfectly with football, and then two glasses of a fabulous red wine that my friend Kate brought over. Now, this did run the course of about seven hours, but still! It's all junk.
When we went to bed last night, I slept soundly until about 2:30 when woke up with the worst stomach ache/weird dizzy-stomach feeling. I couldn't fall back to sleep without out the help of my old friend Pepto Bismal, who we have renamed Pepto Dismal.
I feel okay today, mostly because we slept until 8:30! Also it is comforting that I have no plans to hit the gym today. Sometimes I think it is best not to exercise after a rough day like yesterday. I know I would be dragging @ss through my entire workout. Mentally that would do more harm than good; it would be more like a punishment instead of the exhilerating challenge that I like it to be. Instead, I will be productive in another way~at home organizing, catching up on laundry and making Christmas travel plans. Also today, I will clear the sludge out of my blood by getting plenty of clean food and cold water to prepare for tomorrow's workout. So, I certainly didn't keep the balance yesterday, but I am not going to dwell on it. I'm looking forward and moving on; I've got too much to do this week to worry about what I did yesterday...
