Well, the first month is almost over. How did I do?
Oh, man! I feel like a new person! Life is great and food tastes better. Ripe fruits taste like candy! I never knew how sweet tomatoes and carrots could be! Unsweetened sun tea is my new indulgence! Yes, life is sweet!
Last weekend, I had a glass of wine and dinner with friends where they cooked so I ate what they made. I didn't want to be "Oh, thanks for cooking but I'm not going to eat it." We had summer rolls, good conversation, and homemade brownies for dessert. They offered (and I accepted) tequila and juice. The next day my tummy was a little upset. But, it went away and I still felt good.
Yesterday I did Happy Hour with my friends. I started out with a diet soda and said no to the chips for about 45 min. But then, I ended up having 2 beers and about 2 cups of nachos/chips/salsa. Later on that evening I felt completely annoyed, angry, and frustrated. Fortunately, a part of me realized I was being irrational so it kept me from picking an argument with Froody. I felt so bad I just wanted the day to end. So, I went to bed early. In the middle of the night, I was awakened by a tummy ache. This morning I'm feeling a little better tummy-wise, but my mood is altered. I'm not as positive as before. :( What happened? Was it the nachos? Too many beers? Hormones?
However, I'm fairly certain that I'll be all perky again after another few days of eating right. Will I do Happy Hour again? *scoff* Of course! But I'll be sure to avoid the chips and stick with a glass of red wine and water.
