Turns out, it was just sinuses. I felt like a world-class schmuck for overreacting. I got myself so stressed out and paranoid that I gave into a bit of temptation. I had some crackers and dark chocolate. Wednesday night I was still feeling kind of poopy so I didn't prepare any food for Thursday, so I had a rough day yesterday. I tried to make the most of it when I got to work. I had a salad and soup for lunch and a protein bar (as natural as I could find) for a snacky.
I'm BACK today. I didn't like how I felt yesterday - I felt lethargic, tired, lack of focus. It could have been the sinuses (which are still bothering me), but it also was probably my diet. I gained a little back, but not too much (thank GOD!). I'll re-group this weekend and will make sure this doesn't happen again.
I'm going on a cooking/baking binge this weekend, since I have Monday off. So far, the plans are to make:
- Slow Cooker Short Ribs (I'm making these for dinner tonight)
- Chicken Bacon Alfredo
- A couple loaves of Paleo Bread
- Kale Chips
- Assorted other goodies I haven't identified yet. I'd love to do some Apple Pumpkin Butter and Pumpkin Butter Cups
For workouts, I want to get in 1.5 hour a day of 'stuff'. I'm not using Training Peaks to track my workouts anymore because I realized it was making me crazy. Too many numbers, too many red, green or yellow workouts. Instead (since this is the year of weight control), I'm keeping track on Strava and on a Google Doc. I'll start adding my workouts to my daily-ish summaries starting tomorrow.
