Ok, now I TOTALLY understand why Deb felt crappy after she had a simple Costco sausage after she'd been going Vegan for awhile! Because I felt like that last night, and a bit this morning!
Yesterday was good intentions gone awry! On my way to the party, I got myself some sparkling water (still no pop for 2012! YAY!), tortilla chips, salsa & veggies. When I got there, I had a sample of most things: tiny weenies, chili/cream cheese dip, olives, chips & salsa, meatballs and taquitos. Oi. Where are the Tums? Just listing it makes my gut roll again!
I took a lot of Tums yesterday, didn't sleep well last night, and I'm doing "ok" this morning (day 36). I'm sipping on Ginger Tea, had toast for breakfast, and trying to remind my stomach what "normal" is supposed to be like!
What did I learn?
Oh my gosh, I don't want to ever feel like that again! That is truly a wake-up call for my lifestyle! Those foods are just NO GOOD for the body! YUCK! And honestly, they didn't even taste that great going down. Isn't that a bummer?
I'm also still in the stage of my journey where although I arm myself with good "tools" (ie the veggies, salsa), I'm still no stranger to succumbing to temptation. I truly hate that. I know I'm not strong enough, and I need to pray through it. Although if I were honest, I DIDN'T want to pray through it, I COULD have said "no" to those things, I know that. But with another lesson under my belt, I have yet another tool to help me in the future part of my journey.
Although I will say, I didn't have anything the rest of the night (how could I?), so I'm hoping those calories didn't put me over the edge too much. I'm not even going to try and track it!
