Morning Check In: yesterday went to absolute hell in a handbasket. It was a hard day, with a lot of stress. In a weak moment I said “yes” to an invite to go out to mexican food for a very late lunch. I paid absolutely no attention at all to my best health and let my body down in every way possible. Taco salad with a fried shell. Yup, ate that. rice. Beans. Chips and salsa. HUGE margarita. And this is the consequence: a CRAZY blood sugar roller coaster that lasted until the wee hours of the morning. The meal was my only meal of the day, nothing after that. I felt unwell all evening, and have a food hangover this morning. It amazes me that even after all this time I can still sometimes do this kind of thing to myself! I want to say something like “luckily today is a new day.” But the fact is, my body was highly affected, cells were glycosilated, and while yes today is a new day, damage was done and I regret it. We leave for our trip south today for a funeral. We will be gone until Saturday and I have absolutely no idea what our food situation will be. Lucky for me, I am an experienced intermittent faster, and if worst comes to worst I can simply skip the meal. I guess the only silver lining of yesterday is it is fresh in my mind how bad I feel when I eat that way. Maybe if it’s fresh in my mind I’ll not do it again on this trip!
