Some Days…
Last night (Jan 12, 2025), I overdid it. Sure, I stayed with low-carb foods—no big carb blowout—but I went way overboard on calories and broke my intermittent fasting window. And let me tell you, I’m feeling it this morning.
My fasting blood sugar jumped from yesterday’s 82 to 113, and my stomach? Ugh. Instead of that light, ready-to-go empty feeling I love, I’m stuck with this icky fullness that’s anything but pleasant. It’s a harsh reminder of how even “on plan” foods, when overdone, can throw everything off—how I feel, how I start the day, even how my body processes things.
I’m documenting this not to wallow in it but to use it. To remind myself—and maybe you—that these moments are powerful teachers. I want to sit with this unpleasant feeling, really focus on it, and let it help me stay on track moving forward. Because as much as I enjoy the freedom of a flexible, sustainable lifestyle, moments like this highlight the boundaries that help me thrive.
