Day #229 - Friday
I was outta town. One of my co-workers scheduled herself to sit at a booth at an expo 80 miles from here and then she had to go to Massachusetts because her dad went into the hospital - so of course on very short notice, I filled in for her.
The expo opened this morning at 7:30 am so I drove up there last night and stayed in a hotel nearby. I got in way too late to even bother worrying about whether the hotel had a gym, and then had to get up and out of the hotel way too early this morning to even think about it.
I managed to get up and showered, dressed, and packed early enough so I could visit the free breakfast in the lobby - just wanted to see if there was anything there I could eat. Amazingly, they had eggs and sausage patties, woohoo. The cinnamon rolls, waffles, pancakes, cereal, oatmeal, danish, donuts, toast, and bagels all looked really good, but I had no trouble walking right past ‘em all.
For lunch I drove down the street to Sonny’s Barbeque and got the salad bar and sliced pork. I used miniscule amounts of barbeque sauce and filled up my plate with lettuce and broccoli, so I did real well as far as calories and carbs. But. About a half hour after I finished eating, I was in major pain.
For the next seven hours, I was doubled over in pain! When I left the expo I drove home but was in misery, the cramps were so bad. When I got home I laid down on the couch but that didn’t help. I finally felt better around 8pm.
I will not describe the digestive results that went with this prolonged pain. Definitely would be TMI.
I did finally feel hungry and had some dinner around 9pm. I feel okay now, too. Still have no idea what brought on the agony I was in earlier but I hope to never experience it again!
—————————
I watched the Biggest Loser finally. Caught it on YouTube - a horrible recording but better than waiting for NBC to post it next week! That show always somehow manages to get a tear outta me and this episode was no exception. I get so caught up in the drama of it all, ha!
BTW, I have regular/cheap/basic cable so I don’t have Tivo or DVR or whatever it is where you can tape your shows. I still have a VCR hooked up so I suppose I could tape shows with that - but I would rather watch a show online than on TV anyway.

Yikes! Glad you made it through that. You made some really good choices. Choices are what it is all about, after all! Yea for you and the return of the knees! Delita
Broccoli will do that…
Good for you making good choices esp at the free hotel breakfast!
OUCH! Sorry you were so ill and in so much pain. I am glad it passed and you are feeling better.
Good for you staying on track like that on the road.
You have a wonderful weekend.

Ouch! Glad you belly is feeling mucho better! I had a strange thing like that a few days ago and it was NO fun!
And I loved The Biggest Loser, too. This season is much better than last.
Okay don’t laugh at me but when I have that terrible pain it’s cuz I have to fart really bad lol. Stick your butt up in the air and let them rip if you can! (haha I swear this works I’m not crazy).
Yeah biggest loser always has me in tears and my hubby thinks I’m crazy- and I’m like you be quiet you skinny twig! I think he just doesn’t understand how it is to be overweight.
I just saw something in the paper that said 1/4 people get food poisoning every year and most don’t realize that’s what it was. Just an idea, glad you’re feeling better.
Food poisoning? Sounds like the free breakfast may have had a dear price. Poor you booboo!
