Lost 2.2lb. Yay! But not all is as it seems & a cautionary tale for you, dear reader, and I. Likely because of being stuck for days at 225.2, I decided my first treat in almost 2 months was in order so I intended to get a burrito, then thought a burrito salad would be a healthier option. Turns out cause of COVID neither place was open, but a new custom salad place was so I thought, lets try that & decided to have the bangkok salad. Looked pretty healthy & yummy to me!
bangkok
romaine, red & yellow peppers, edamame, red onions, chow mein noodles, peanuts, cilantro with evil peanut dressing
It did strike me as I dumped it into a bowl that maybe I should have got the starter vs the full salad size but I've never had an issue with a large salad, I had 2 slices of bacon, 2 cups of coffee 8 hours earlier and thoroughly enjoyed the feed. 2 hours after I went to bed, 11 hours after the salad I woke up with a pretty cramped stomach thinking crap, must have been too much of the salad. And it got worse & worse to the point I lay on the floor with 2 pillows & a blanket in terrible pain, feeling like I needed a BM in a big way to relieve the pain mixed with nausea. I ended up, sonewhat successfully, giving myself 2 warm water enemas but really didn't find the beginning of relief until after I finally threw up (a very rare occurrence for me). So this journey through stomach distress hell went on from 1030pm until about 2-230am. How do I feel today? Bit of a headache, dehydrated for sure even though I drank a bit of water before I went to bed, happy I lost some weight especially because I didn't have diahrrea at any point and had eaten pretty well yesterday, moderate walking exercise. My stomach feels like its been beaten up & I have zero appetite so aside from my 2 cups of coffee I'm going to skip eating today and just rest. A few thoughts & maybe lessons learned here;
-portion control, even with a salad. I could have eaten some and if still hungry had more instead of eating it all.
-food poisoning- I'm thinking its very possible I had a bout of it. In these days with restaurants trying to slowly reopen it has now occurred to me who knows what license is being taken by some places to keep their supplies as long as possible, rehiring of staff who may not be as experienced. You hate to assume the restaurant food you eat could be marginal in some way but I've decided the only food I'm going to trust at this point is that I've prepped myself.
I MUST get back to waiting until at least 5am to weigh. Maybe thats my path to finally weighing less often than daily too. If there's one thing I know I get the most consistent results weighing in after 7 hours sleep, even if I get up for a few hrs & go back to bed. I've been trying to convince myself that because my last feed of the day is around noon I SHOULD be able to weigh in at 1am and see the results, but I never do. So the weighing in addiction is a big thing to break.
Have a good wknd!
