LOL...okay....maybe someday I'll have just a little...but anyway...
Some of you may have read what I wrote about planning to have some birthday cake for my dd's birthday. I've been on Atkins and completely sugar free for a month.
Well, today's the day and after a very good low carb day (omlette for breakfast, japanese for dinner, no time to snack in between) I had my piece of ice cream cake. Let me tell you....I feel awful. My stomach started feeling weird before I finished...and now I just feel all yucky and have a headache! It seems as if I have very little tolerance for carbs like that now....and I'm pretty happy about it. I did think that ice cream cake would be a better choice carb/fat/protein wise than a regular cake.....but its still causing me to feel really yucky.
My next planned "treat" was to be for my own birthday (4/23)....I think perhaps I'll just be splitting a dessert with someone (or two or three others...like dh and kids) and I'm going to be very careful about when my body starts to say "when".
Okay, so now for the extended aftermath.....I'm drinking tons of water to try to flush this out of my system. Perhaps I should try to counteract with plenty of protein too? I'll try to update tomorrow....I'm just amazed at how bad I feel and its hitting me that I used to always feel like this. I'm really going to have to kick my butt in gear tomorrow if my previous lethargy tries to catch hold...good time to start working out, I think! And I'm definitely going to stick to an induction menu tomorrow...beyond that I'll see how I feel!
And, WOW....my baby is 3 today! I can't believe it!
