High Carb Day

Wow, yesterday was an insane and stressful day.  It was a combo of back to back meetings at work and dealing with some personal things.

If alcohol didn't make me so tired the next day, I would have slugged a shot of something or grabbed a beer at some point in the day, to suck down.  Drinking is a nice method to lean on when you want to calm down.  Unfortunately, I've learned that drinking and Tamoxifen are not buddies.   I drag big time the day after having any drinks.  It became more and more apparent, that combo created so much fatigue the next day that I'm thinking it's not even worth the blow.  Unless, I have several days where I have nothing going on and can lay in bed....okay we all know you can only do that during vacations.

Anyway, I stuck to my macros and didn't give into the many things that I wanted to comfort myself with.  Yes, I am human and lean on food sometimes when the shit hits the fan.  

By the end of the workday, I needed an outlet, so my son and I went to see The Fault in Our Stars.   It was the perfect movie to see.  It took me away from all that happened during the day, it cracked open my heart and brought me back to the time when I was diagnosed with Cancer.  It's a love story about two young adults who are both fighting cancer.   I cried and laughed and cried and laughed.  It was an incredibly moving story and being able to cry, let out the anger I had felt throughout the day!   It hit the spot and so did the high carb intake of Popcorn.  We opted not to have the butter.  It's one thing to have a high-carb day, but to have a high fat day...hmmm makes no sense when you are trying to cut the fat off your body.  

I'm allowed one high carb meal per week.   This is not a blow out meal or time to eat as much junk food as possible.  You don't want to gain any weight from your high carb meal.  I'm not saying pop corn is healthy, but it's not like eating a cheeseburger and fries.   You have to calculate the numbers before you eat a high carb meal.  

The angst of yesterday is gone, I'm not tired because I got a decent nites sleep and I'm happy to say my weight is stable at 129.5   I didn't gain a pound after eating my high carb meal ;-)   My abs are flat and look much harder today from the increase in carbs.  

Until next time,
