Let me catch up for the weekend.
I am just now figuring out what was going on with my body... As my last blog said, I continued to have very little appetite. I hardly wanted breakfast and I had to make myself have something... By lunch I was a little too hungry and nothing really sounded good. Saturday I ran around going to party after party... having a lot of fun with friends and enjoying my family. We did it very low key and low stress... BUT, since food was not appealing to me I did very little prep.. I did bring some nuts and a lara bar and that saved me... At party one, they had lots of raw option (thanks God for lovely healthy friends). At party 2 - late luch time I had 2 corn tortillas with lettuce and tomato and salsa... Snacks in between of nuts and the bar... Water all day... Pretty good for dinner I just wanted a green smoothie. Sunday, was so interesting... I hope to never have another Sunday like this one... It was stressful. I ended up (with my family, which makes it worse) being at the church from 8:30- about 7:30 maybe even 8... With just a walk around Montrose to get some fresh air in between it all. I brought a great Salad for lunch but not much else and by the time I got home I was so tired and so hungry I had to choose between the two and since I also had to get Astrid to bed... I choose sleep.

Which brings me to Monday... Woke up having not eaten anything since the day prior feeling weird and thirsty and hungry and I did have low blood sugar. First time in a while for this. BUT, still nothing sounded good. I was actually a little depressed and feeling just run down (GOSH I WONDER WHY) and I just lacked that umph and that energy I had been having. I finally grabbed the honeydew and late in the morning made a slush with honey dew and Satsuma which is my new favorite! This really hit the spot, and I drank a lot of it. By lunch I made a salad... But Vyk made Pizza and it just looked so good.. I ate a slice, I ate two slices and then I ate my salad. I would be lying if I said it did not taste good to me. But, it made my stomach upset all the way until today...

I ran the Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes the church had collected lat night (thinking it would be a very fast trip to a close church) with Astrid. When the 1st church was closed,and the second church had just closed up 10 minutes after I got there, I ended up having to drive to South Houston. This treck (in rush hour) took Astrid and I from 3 til about 7!!!! It ended up being worth it because the nice lady at the church took Astrid on a tour and Astrid was so excited and we will report back to the kids.. BUT, still! 4 hours of unprepared WAY past dinner drive!
Thankfully Astrid had some left overs from Lunch and I have this incredible even blood sugar! I would have had a headache and been so sick before. I was really fine and had another honey dew and orange slush when I got home.

This morning , I feel more like I am back on track... Honey dew slush again for breakfast. And upon reflection in the long hot bath this AM. I think that my body was wanting a fast. I think after all the toxins came up during my period my body wanted to focus on repairing and I did not recognize it and just kept not eating and then being too hungry. I also had little energy and just wanted to rest while I had to go go go...
Lesson learned. When I feel like that next I will start an official fast. ALTHOUGH... really I ended up doing pretty close to one for a few days there.

Right now I am off to Astrid's schools thanksgiving feast. My plan is to say "no thank you" a lot. And eat the fresh corn I am making now and maybe some mashed potatoes and that is it. I do not know these people very well, so it is kind of hard for me. I will have to just not worry. It is actually silly to worry. I was talking with Kelly just now and I realized at the rate I am loosing weight I am going to have people pretty soon begging me to tell them what I am doing. It will take a little of the embarrassment away won't it. To be half the size I was :) HA HA!
