Yesterday I went out to dinner with friends and when the bread basket was delivered to the table, I dove right in. And when I found one last York Peppermint Patty in our kitchen cupboard, I ate it. So I fell off the wagon yesterday. I am hoping to pick myself up, dust myself off, and continue where I left off.
I can tell that I set myself up for this because over the last day and a half, my initial meal-planning ran out and I was sort of eating whatever I could scrounge or walk into that fit the diet. I really wasn’t eating enough, and I wasn’t eating a good variety of foods–and my fruit intake drastically lowered. To be successful in this, I have to continue to plan out my meals and keep the fridge stocked. I was really having a terrible carbohydrate craving and didn’t have suitable alternatives available in the fridge.
Interestingly, I could really feel the sugar rush in the York Peppermint Patty and found myself with a splitting headache just afterwards. I felt awful.
Time to hit the grocery store shelves and stockpile some healthy foods.
