On the road...

So, a few days ago, I posted about getting back on the road to dieting and knowing that my weight was going up and I needed to do it or else.  I felt REALLY good about that... and then I got sick.  UGH.  Stupid stomach virus!  Needless to say, I haven't been on any kind of plan.  I've been on the, please let me keep it in without it killing me plan!  Egg drop soup was my friend.  Why, of all things, THAT helped my stomach I don't know.  But it sure hit the spot.  It's 10AM and that sounds SO good right now.... I love egg drop soup.  I guess since it's low carb, that's good, huh?  LOL  Can't be too bad on cals either since it's basically just broth and eggs!  Maybe some ginger and green onions, too.  Either way, it was my safe food.  Made me feel SO much better and stopped the cramping.  Yay!

So, now I'm going on day 3 and yesterday and the day before were the worst.  Yesterday I was just crazy tired and my tummy was tender so eating was sporadic.  I mostly picked at my food and sipped water all day.  I didn't feel horrid, just exhausted.  Today I feel ok!  I had an LC pita with PB and some honey and of course my coffee.  Later I plan to have an omelet, fruit for snack, and then steak and salad for dinner.  YUM.  Tomorrow, I won't be having the pita.  I will either have the omelet then or a protein shake.  I'm flushin' the carbs out!  Although, the pita itself probably isn't all that bad coming in at 7g of carbs and full of fiber.  The bad would be the honey that I mix with the PB.  LOL  So, I will for sure be nixing the honey.  I love the stuff, but it's like crack for me.  I LOVE it.  On everything.  Many times that will be my snack when I'm having a moderate day.  Low sugar vanilla ice cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon and a drizzle of honey.  OY.  I just love honey!  So, I try to stay away from it when doing really low since it's really just sugar... but better for you than the other if you buy locally.

Anyways, that's really my big news.  LOL  That I've been sick and not on track but not due to falling off.  I am hoping that I feel even better tomorrow and can keep moving forward instead of feeling like poo.  I do feel ok today, so surely by tomorrow I will feel really good and really get to moving on my diet/exercise.  I will attempt to catch up with everyone soon!

***UPDATE***

Today has not gone as planned.  Instead of an omelet, I had a green protein smoothie.  Then I had some ham and cheese, and vanilla wafers.  The wafers weren't the best choice.... I should've just said NO.  But I ate those since I was having a horrible craving for a cheeseburger.  I don't even know why.  LOL  Anyways, with the ham and cheese and wafers, the craving has passed.  Hopefully that is the last for today.  I still plan on having steak for dinner and some sort of salad or spinach and maybe some mixed veggies.  Depends on how hungry I am.

I signed up for fitday.com.  I am going to give it a go and see how I like it and then sparkpeople and a couple of others.  Hopefully I will find one that fits.  I just wish I wasn't so tired so I FELT like doing things.  Youngest went to bed late, got up during the night and then up at 6AM.  I've had around 4hrs. of sleep so I'm feeling groggy and can't seem to get over it.  Drinking some more coffee and water now in hopes to get perked back up to get a couple of chores done around the house.  AKA, dusting and some laundry.  If I am not dead out tired later, I may go ahead and give myself a pedi and a mani.  My hands and feet are looking ROUGH.  I'm not sure why I'm worried... This weekend (starting tomorrow) we are going to be cleaning out the garage and getting rid of some things.  So, I need to do some laundry and get that stuff out of the way tonight and tomorrow since it's in the garage!  I've kept up on it pretty well, but I need to do a few loads to keep it that way.  Maybe I will go down here in a min and throw in a load since the kiddos seem happy.  :D

I PLAN on checking in over the next couple of days, but it may get busy here and I am thinking I will be tired flushing these carbs out.  My carbs are fairly high today with the wafers... but I believe I am still going to come out lower than yesterday!  So, either way, it's going down.  And I am going to also going to do more of my protein/green shakes.  I watched a Documentary on a guy who did a 60 day juice fast and how in the end, he felt SO good.  He used it to detox due to an autoimmune disorder.  Now, for me personally, I don't want to do a full fast like that, but I did protein shakes heavily last time and had great results.  Not only physically, but medically and emotionally.  I am really leaning more towards that again.  I KNOW I can do it.  I KNOW I get great results.  But I also KNOW it can be hard at times.  But something has got to give... I'm sick of fighting so hard to get nowhere when it comes to diet.

I've been doing some more looking around for exercise.  And the hubby and I are working on a schedule.  I think that I will be able to do it again soon!  I just have to get up and do it.
