Asinine Decisions

For the most part, I can hold my own. I can read what my body says; I know the warning signs; and I adjust my activity to accommodate what my body “needs”. Like I said … “for the most part”.

Recently however, things have been fairly brutal. My afternoons are pretty much pain free, my evenings are pretty much pain filled, and my mornings are pretty much spent in a drug stupor trying to recover from stronger meds. On top of that, I missed a morning dose of daily meds which hasn’t help matters in the least.

Looking back over the past two weeks, I’ve tried to see what I possibly could have done to mess myself up. Understand that I know one doesn’t necessarily need to have done anything; however, I think this may be the case for my current dilemma.

Over the past two years, I significantly changed my diet. I have never been an unhealthy eater; I generally don’t care for chips, cookies, cake, candy, or ice cream. My nemeses are cheeses and batter fried meats. But to better accommodate a fitness regime I have going; I completely weaned myself off caffeine, severely cut down on processed carbs, and all but cut out meat entirely.

Then, the other night, while out to eat with some friends, for some asinine reason, I ordered prime rib … oh man it was so incredibly good; and so began my demise. I couldn’t be happy with just the prime rib. The next day, while feeling like garbage, I had my husband grill rib eyes. That was 3 days ago, and I still feel like I have the energy of a turnip, but at least I don’t still feel like I have the flu.

I suppose that idea I’ve been toying with to become a vegetarian just became clearer.
