Forever since I posted...

Well, the holidays came and I feel off the wagon big time with my eating and life. I have not written in forever and have just been pretty lazy. So, I ate bread over the holidays and not just on my cheat day. I feel better to have confessed it. I have tried to detox but I keep eating the wrong things. I have spent most of the month of January feeling sick and sluggish from my eating patterns and some wonderful Texas allergy issue called Cedar Fever.
It is a lot of fun not to breathe through your nose. I was even so desperate I tried a holistic remedy called a Neti Pot. For those of you who have not had the pleasure a Neti Pot is a teapot looking item that you fill with warm saline water, insert in to your nostril and tip to flush out your sinuses. It is not a fun experience because it is a delicate balance to keep it from running down the back of your throat and also to not feel like you are drowning. When you finish one side, you have to flush your sinuses from the other side. So fun!!! Also, this wonderful allergy has made me feel like I can not breathe quite regularly. I have to use an inhaler, I don't have asthma. I tried to run the other day and found that there are 70 year old, asthmatic, smokers who can probably breathe better than me. I was wheezing so bad after about a half a mile that I had to walk. Talk about embarrassing, here I am with a bright red face, wheezing, and sweating profusely and anyone who passed me on the road only saw me strolling slowly along. I must have looked like I was so out of shape that mere walking was a huge effort. Oh well. I will go see the doctor to see if there is anything to be done or if I just am that out of shape.
Now back to the bread. Well, I ate it and it tasted sooo good that I kept on eating it and now I feel icky and sluggish and fat. So, guess I will have to successfully detox all the way. I just have to survive about two weeks and then I can go back to having a cheat day only. Wish me luck.
