I lied

I kmow in my last post I said that I was back on board. Well, I was. Then I took a walk to the edge of that board and dived off. For one, I've been doing more travelling than usual. Of course the point of traveling is to eat. Duh. So, that was an easy justification. I'm usually too busy for vacations, so when the opportunity arises, gotta seize the day. Secondly, I felt s tad bit burnt out on the dieting. Not so much that it was hard or I felt like I couldnt do it, but I truthfully felt as though a diet vacation wouldn't be a bad thing. Sure, I'd miss the progress I've been making, but I needed to stretch my legs.

I've been in Washington DC for the last week. Enjoying the east coast, the colors, the oysters and the crabcakes. Definitely too many carbs. Snacks just for the sake of snacking also made their presence known. While I can't say I didn't enjoy the break, it also helped me realize thst I absolutely need to get back to my OptiFast when I get home.

I have hypoglycemia, mostly the reactive kind. Too much sugar, too much fat, refined carbs, or the combination of them will lead me to a blood sugar crash. They can be pretty severe. I've yet to wind up in the ER or anything, but feeling such an intnse physical reaction makes you realize that things need to be better. Surpsingly, when I was doing my 800 calorie per day Optifast, I never had a crash. Not once. Eating healthy is the only solution.

Right now I'm in the air en route to LA, somewhere above Mizzurah or Tennessee, but come Tuesday I plan to be back at my weight loss clinic. I know I'm going to see some poundage register on the scale that had previously been lost. I'm ready for that. No big deal. A new start is rarely a bad thing.

Until then, I will be enjoying this plane ride full of screaming children and my seatmste who obviously believes her perfume should be tssted by everyone within 50 feet. It's just me, my iPad, airplane WiFi, and plans to update as soon as things are where they should be.
