An ugly note to self...

Saturday, I slept in..10:20, then me and my family quickly got dressed and rushed to watch Rio (super cute BTW).  So needless to say,  I didn't get any protein or h2o until 1 ish and then it wasn't impressive since we ran the whole rest of the day.  We didn't get home for good until about 5, and then I felt like I needed to make up for lost time .  I ate too much food at one time, and within minutes of finishing...felt sooooo sick.  I ended up in bed at 7 and slept it off.  However, the last 2 days since then, my pouch area has been SOOO sore, I can only imagine that I irritated it with the lack of h2o and over abundance of protein.  I am only 5 weeks out and most certainly do not have things figured out yet.  From now on I need to be prepared for when things like this come up.  I have been taking it very easy on my pouch since then though, lots of fluids, and softer foods to make it happy .  Another lesson learned!!

When I go to the movies I got one of their big waters and add a stick of sugar free drink mix or a squirt of MIO to it. You can also keep an emergency stash of protein bars for when you have to miss a meal.

Thanks for the info....why on earth didn't I think of that ??  I have been meaning to go and get some protein bars, just haven't worked myself up to it yet....feels like a HUGE task, there are so many to choose from.  Also needing to get more vitamins too and that is another one of those HUGE tasks ...gonna put on my big girl panties here soon , and just go do it!!!!

Don't think if it as a huge task! Think of it as an adventure! head to GNC and pick up a few single bars to try. See? Single bars are fun, aren't they? lol

Hehehehehe...thanks Amber!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't care where i go, I always take my shoulder cooler with me.. It is my supply of cheese sticks, water, protein powder, yogurt. It looks like a shoulder purse but it is a cooler. I put my ice pack in there and off I go always with a supply of goodies I can have.. take care
