Before After

Cheesecake Factory + Friendly's = Heartburn

I didn't sleep well at all last night. I ordered some orange chicken at the TCF and yes, those chicken are deep-fried. I think what the heck, it's my birthday, I'm in the mood for chinese food. I only ate 5 pieces of chicken out of 15 and alittle bit of rice. I couldn't finish it. I was soo full and it's like my stomach couldn't handle it anymore. So I stopped and box the food to bring home. It's going in the garbage today. I had heartburn from that chicken all night and I had to sit up a few times to get the acid to go down. Lesson learned! No more fried food!

I had a 3 scoops Reese Peanut Butter Cup sundae and ate it all. I only have this once a year on my birthday and it was really good but I think with the peanut butter and chocolate plus the chicken made the heartburn worse. I only gained a lb from yesterday, so not so terrible. It will be gone by Friday when I go to the Y and burn it off by running on the treadmill.

I actually appericate my body more. I appericate it for telling me that this stuff is no good for me and lets me know what it wants or what it doesn't want. I've learned to listen to my body now and recognize the signs that could be affecting my health. Heartburn is not a good sign at all and I rarely ever get them.

So today is water, water, water, water, all day!  Back to healthy eating and put away all the birthday junkies. Chicken and cookie cake are going in the garbage today. 2 days of unhealthy eating is enough for me. No more!

Now I gotta go and change my daughter's diaper since she is stinking up a storm here.

Later Epers!

Me too

I was thinking last night how I'm paying more attention to my body after I eat certain foods.  I like to see how I feel.  And I know that very occasionally, I'm okay with that feeling, but I'm feeling too good to do it all the time.  We are making progress, girl!  Hope you feel better today!  Glad you enjoyed your birthday!

You know you're doing well when you can pick up on what your body is telling you.  Enjoy your water today!

Heartburn...

Sorry about the heartburn!  That sucks!  Good job on being able to turn away the food.  It's hard to do but when your body actually kicks in and says "no" then it makes it much easier than before.
