I hope this is happening because I'm going through such an intense transition phase in my life.
Happening #1: I messed up my back doing deadlifts yesterday. I did the exact same workout I did last week and what felt pretty good last week totally messed up my lower back yesterday. Today I'm walking like an old lady and being EXTREMELY careful about what I do and how I move lest my back muscles seize up. Not fun and not fair!! I'll be sleeping on a heating pad tonight to hopefully relax the muscles. No workout tomorrow.
Happening #2: The diet saga. Doing this total 180 on my eating has proven challenging. Sunday I had a pot roast in the crockpot all day but had it turned to warm rather than low. So by dinner time that sucker was nowhere near done. Chris and I looked at each other, I said pizza, he said ok and so sausage pizza it was. However, it occurred to me that if I had a backup meal always waiting in the wings I wouldn't have this struggle in the same circumstances in future. After talking it over with Chris we agreed that eggs would be a good Plan B meal that I could always have on hand in an emergency. So out of adversity comes good.
On Monday I discovered just how quickly I get hungry after eating. Like super hungry 60-90 minutes after eating. This is the consequences of being a sugar burner. Once I started paying attention, it was so apparent what I've been fighting every day and how much of a struggle it's been to get from one meal to the next. So my goal for now is to learn to eat enough fats at each meal to go 6 hours between meals and eat only 3 meals a day. I'll still take snacks (emphasizing protein, healthy fats and veggies) in case I do get ravenous in between meals but my goal is to eventually eliminate the snacks because my body will be tuned to dipping into the fat stores instead of yelling at me to eat.
One of these days this adventure will become fun. I can hardly wait.
