Bump

I always see that on the msg boards on the sites I frequent. It means that you've tagged yourself in the convo so you can continue to see the responses to the thread because it's something you want to keep up with.

Today I'm using a bump on my eating and exercise.

Today was a big day for our family. Todd's grandmother turned 80! Yeah kinda a big deal in a world where people are living shorter lives than ever it seems.

We celebrated. Told stories, looked at pictures, and ate cake and all kinds of things that are bad for you. It was great. We had so much fun and celebrated life.

When I got home though I had a terrible headache from eating too much sugar (yum...cake!) and because of the headache I've been sick to my stomach. Upset stomach means no working out. I can't really expect to do P90x plyometrics when I feel like my head is pounding and I want to throw up can I?

No..so I called my father in law who is a diabetic and talked to him about my sugar induced headache and what I can do about it. His recommendation was to eat as much protein as I did sugar to try and level me out. I ate some cottage cheese and some sliced turkey meat and my headache is slowing down....not gone...but slowed down and less painful.

Something I'll have to keep in check is the amount of sugar I'm consuming. I know that because I've been more selective of my foods (until today) that my body is not use to the amount of sugar I had and know that's the reason for the headache.

Tomorrow I'll pick back up with P90x on Day 9 plyometrics and I might try to squeeze in some elliptical time but I'm not going to get upset with a day of no workouts or a bad day of eating. I did something fun today. I celebrated a life. I enjoyed time with family and I lived in the moment.

It's not bad to do any of those things and in fact reminds me that I'm human. I'm going to over indulge at times. I'm going to make bad choices and that's part of the learning curve. Tomorrow is a new day and a new chance to get things right and to try again.

Besides that my body is already punishing me with a headache so there isn't a need for me to feel guilty or upset. I'm going to bed early and I'm going to start tomorrow with a fresh perspective and try again.
