Sunday, after I weighed myself, took my numbers down, and had my usual shake for breakfast, I went on a bit of a bender over the following hours and ended up ingesting, shall we say, a few thousand calories. And I didn't exercise to counteract any of that. This could fuck me up when I'm this close to the end of the Newcastle Diet, but I'm reaching the point where it's getting hard to care. I'm buckling down the rest of this week, so we'll see whether that results in my losing any weight.
Funny thing is, cutting loose didn't mean downing bad-for-you foods. I went bonkers eating keto-friendly stuff: nuts, seeds, a bit of almond butter, some berries. I gobbled a bowl of sugarless Jell-O as well, and before that, some beef jerky. So ultimately, I don't think I wrecked my blood sugar so much as I went way off pasture with the calories. And sure enough, hours passed, and I ended up on the pot. Well, it was nice to have something for my bowels to move, I guess, instead of my pooping every other day.
Anyway, I'm back in penitent mode, and lunch today was a cup of broth. That's going to have to hold me until tomorrow.
More later.
Forgive us our trespasses.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably a good sign that you went bonkers on healthy foods instead of doing something really crazy, like eating a half-gallon of ice cream in one sitting, like some people I know.
Intentionally starving yourself might be one of the hardest activities a human being can attempt. You are doing great, so cut yourself some slack and keep it up!
