This has been the week from you know where and the bloat proves it!
Everything was, is, going ok. Kinda.
As I knew, this past week was going to be killer. I worked 78 hours in 5 days, and had thanksgiving on top of it all. I did really well leading into thanksgiving, where my plan fell all apart.
My family had been planning the menu for weeks, so I had already planned what I was going to eat. Only problem was that when we got there, several of the healthy things had not been made, and basically the whole thing was redone. I had been awake for almost 36 hours by then, and I just didn't care. I ate what I wanted. Immediately I regretted it. The moderate heartburn I had flared up very badly and my stomach hurt. We left my family's house and went to my boyfriend's family's place, where I ate 2 Hawaiian rolls to try to quell some of the acid in my stomach, which did not work. After that, I took a nap and went back into work.
That morning I got a full 8 hours of sleep, but woke up late. Then I had my butt kicked at job #3. The bar was packed! No breakfast, no lunch, no time for dinner til I got off at 8pm, and you guessed it totally unhealthy. This time, my stomach just couldn't handle it and I ended up vomiting a scary amount of red-streaked stomach acid. So I'm positive that the ulcers are back and I need to get serious about going back on my meds for them.
Today was a tad better. I ate better, but my throat is sore from all the acid, I'm incredibly bloated and my stomach is burning. I feel like I've gained the measly 4lbs I lost back ad then some.
I'm just frustrated. How the heck can I do this when my schedule is jam packed and always changing? I'm always either working, sleeping, spending time with the kids or being so tired I can barely drive home safely.
Frustrated!!!
