This will be brief, largely because I just took some medicine and I hope to be back to sleep ASAP.
I mentioned in my last post that I was planning on doing some nutritional off-roading… Well, I went a little beyond that and went completely off the rails. I figured a day or two before getting back on track wouldn’t be that big of a deal.
I was wrong.
Here I am on the computer instead of asleep in bed with my husband. I went to bed at 2 last night (not unusual on weekends – my husband works late and I am his ride most nights) but I didn’t go to sleep until almost 4. Then I woke up at 6:45 feeling like I’d been hit by a train.
I had. The Paleo Train jumped the track and ran my ass over for not staying on board. And, I’ll admit, I deserved it especially after last night.
Because I went to McDonalds.
Yep, I went to the grocery store last night which was packed and had NOTHING I needed and then somehow I decided to go to McDonalds after. The silver lining in this story is that I drank about 3 sips of Coke and almost puked so I poured it out and I ate about 5 fries and couldn’t eat any more because they tasted so greasy and disgusting. However, I did manage to wolf down a double Quarter Pounder with cheese along with 2 bites of a s’mores pie and a whole apple pie.
Forgive me Paleo gods, for I have sinned. I have ingested gluten and sugar and… ingredients I cannot pronounce… And for that I endure the wrath thou has put upon me.
I couldn’t get to sleep last night, I couldn’t stay asleep, and now I can’t get BACK to sleep even though I’m totally exhausted. My stomach hurts, I feel vaguely sick, I have a minor headache, and my TMJ is acting up like whoa.
In a way, I’m glad this happened – it validates all that I’ve done and learned during the Whole30. I’m also pissed at myself because I hate feeling this way but whatever – live and learn.
The plan for the rest of the day is to go back to sleep for a few hours, then to eat a healthy Paleo breakfast of eggs, bacon, and avocado (along with my usual coffee and coconut milk!) and then to go back to the store to get the few things I need to make dinner for the next few days. My husband is supposed to be off today and tomorrow so maybe I can con him into going with me, haha. We shall see…
