Mama said there'd be days like this...

Nov 25, 2014

Yesterday, I faced my first real slip up. I ate a roll and a slice of cake. I didn't have anything else for the rest of the day since I was exhausted. So, I'm pretty sure I stayed under calories but certain that I threw myself out of ketosis. I don't even want to look at the scale until I have a few days of on-plan eating under my belt again. 

Today I am contemplating whether I want to go to work. I left early yesterday feeling exhausted and like I was coming down with something. So, I took some Nyquil and was in bed before 6pm. The nyquil did not fix my symptoms so I'm wondering if this is also dehydration.

Truth be told, I have been exactly on-plan. I've been skipping vitamins, missing protein and not getting enough water. It's just tough with my work schedule and everything going on. I worked straight through the weekend, went clubbing on Saturday night and drove back home on Sunday. I think I hit a wall. Add all that to the fact that my finances are way out of wack and I had to report my colleagues for the shenanigans over the weekend. I'm stressed and tired and looking forward to a couple days of sleep and solitude. I thought I could make it to Thursday, but clearly I hit my limit yesterday. 

I'm not kicking myself for the carbs. I was in a bad place yesterday. Emotions raw and I didn't know how to handle them. I think I was hoping the bread would make me sick and teach me to behave. But it didn't so I have to do this on my own. And I know that I can since I've spent the last 2 months doing it.

I'm going to be ok.
