One more day down

Well after a disastrous day yesterday today has been awesome.  If only they were all like this – or even 50% of them!!  It wasn’t total disaster, perhaps torturous may be a better description!  I had 8 meals.  4 in succession.  It was insane.  My hunger/need to eat was so great, it comes on so suddenly, along with the foggy head and sleepiness.  I was exhausted.  I know it’s my adrenals.  I am loading sea salt like crazy, I actually dip my food into it.  It’s like a drug, I almost feel a surge of…something…when I have my salt hit.  I slept after I ate, and woke up so groggy and just like a washed out rag for the rest of the day.  I wanted to cry I felt so awful.  Just so over it!!!  Then today, I feel great!  I have been TOTALLY in control the entire time, no cravings, a little hunger yes, but it’s controllable.  Today I walked for cardio, I can’t do anything of any more effort at the moment or it will send me into another downhill spiral.  I thought I would then have breaky and go train and get all my exercise out of the way because afternoons are a disaster for me energy wise.  It seemed to work for me – or something did anyway.  So I will do the same tomorow.  Last day of exercise tomorrow!!  Yippee!!

I am all bloated and yukky because I’m so waterlogged and full of salt.  This is what we want though.  Tomorrow no salt :( (  I will probably feel worse tomorrow because I am starting a slight carb load.  That combined with the water won’t be nice.  By Friday I should start looking and feeling a little better.

I started to pack my bag.  I bought a few supplies today.  Peanut Butter and fig jam.  Rice cakes.  I actually discovered Cadbury Tiramisu chocolate (yeah I don’t get down the chocolate aisle much) and put that in my trolley but then as I was walking to the check out decided to ditch it.  Too risky :)   I will buy my chocolate on Saturday.  Anyone know where I can buy milk choc coated coffee beans in Adelaide?  Haigh’s only have dark choc apparently.  I have found my backstage grog – decided against scotch this time, I don’t even like it.  Port is the go apparently, so I found a bottle of opened De Bortoli Black Noble dessert wine – how good will this go with my choc coated coffee beans.  Ok, making myself hungry.  I’ve been food fantasizing the last couple of nights.

So, tomorrow I am looking forward to some carbs for sure but not the no salt!  Can’t have it all – until Sunday evening!

Time to go relax, and cook my salmon for dinner.

  • Hi Sue,

    Good luck for Sunday. I hope to be there its just not stitched down yet.

  • It all sounds so exciting now Sue. I’d try a Gloria Jeans’s Coffee for the choc coated coffee beans – or even just another coffee shop (Starbucks etc).

  • Hey go the fig jam and peanut butter :)

    Hey I hope I didn’t wear you out while I spent an hour talking to you on the phone while you were doing your cardio :)

    Is you comp on Sunday or Saturday?? I am guessing Sunday?

  • Hi Sue

    Your photo is awesome you look terrific! Glad you got the email re Haighs bit of a bummer actually. Gloria Jeans is one minute from me so I can pick up the milk choc coated beans for you. I’ll get you the Cadbury Tiramisu choc too and give it to you after the comp, ok? (Then there will be no temptations.)

    Glad you had a great day today and I wish a great one for you tomorrow too.

    Cheers Kath
