Did not want to input the weight but enough of procrastinating. 2 weeks of not watching what I ate etc is telling on my body and mind. First part of the 1st week while on vacation I was doing good. But being around other people who think being on vacation means non stop eating of whatever they want took its toll. Second week is all on me as was the first. There were some foods that I wanted while I was off any eating plan.
We went to Dollywood on vacay. I left my comfort zone and rode 4 roller coasters. Never have I done that. The last one was The Lightening Rod. The fastest in the world. Now the bad part. I either cracked a rib or bruised it on the wooden roller coaster. It was the second one I rode. It hurt when it happened then eased. Which is why I rode 2 more😆. Didn't feel it until later that night and of course next day. Had a very bad night of ragged breathing to the point of not knowing whether to tell hubby to get me to e.r. Toughed it out.
That week was a learning experience. One,by eating right my mental/emotional state is soooo much better. Two; by eating wrong I could feel it more and more every day. My body hurts more and thing that should not get me emotional does. I hate that more than my body hurting. Another is; I am tougher than what I thought or is stronger another way to put it.
I am now committed again, hence this post. I can do this.
