Cheat Day

Well, I got frustrated from trying real hard and gaining a lb anyway.  Then, as you all may remember, I haven't been feeling myself for 2 weeks.  (bloated, gas pains, feeling fat & yucky.)  Dr put me on Vitamin D and calcium.  And also, started going Activia yogurt and papaya enzyme for digestion.  Well.......  Not to be gross.  But yesterday, I went to the Y at 6:30am.  Was on the treadmill, feeling ok.  About 20 mins into my work out, WOW!  Severe pains and severe intestinal cramps!  Felt all of a sudden like I was going to pass out.  Really scary.  Worse than menstrual cramps.  Knew it was too early for TOM, but that is how bad it felt!  Quick got off the treadmill as I could not stand it anymore.  Wiped off the machine and dashed off to the ladies room.  Wow!  I guess it all hit me at once.  I had been constipated and irregular.  OMG.  It was awful.  But then I felt better.  It was like a relief.  But I did not want to take a chance and go finish my work out so I went home.  Was fine the rest of the day.  So I will try to do Activia in the AM after my morning oatmeal.   Last night we had to go to a funeral.  Paul's cousin's dad.  Died of liver cancer.  It was in NJ and 1 hr 20 min drive each way.  We did not get there until about 7:20pm.  It was over around 8pm and then we went back to his cousin's house after.  We left there after 10pm and got home at 11:30pm.   I could not go to sleep right away and stayed up a little and then could not sleep well last night.  Worked from home today.  Basically no exercise.  But I am taking the day off today from all of it:  exercise and diet.  Ate a bunch of Cheetos earlier, just because.  And, I am going to eat a big bowl of Penn State Creamery chocolate ice cream.   Tomorrow, will get back on the wagon.  Will get to bed on time tonight.  (have been exhausted ALL day.)  Worked from home today and also tomorrow.  Yeah!  Getting some work done.  Will try to get up and go to the Y tomorrow AM. I also watche the Doctors show this afternoon and one of the things they talked about was good carbs and bad carbs.  Good carbs:  fruits, veggies, whole grains.  Bad carbs, pastas, white bread.  It is not about the calories.  So I will try to get my calories around 1400 the rest of the week, get back to exercise and focus on more good carbs, less bad carbs.  The Dr was saying that bad carbs are converted to sugar and tell your body to store fat.   Anyway, on to some very bad carb chocolate ice cream.  I am going to sit and enjoy it and relax tonight and then go to bed.  Hope everyone is having a good week!
