So my boyfriend got me tickets to see my favorite band in Philadelphia so we got a hotel and stayed the weekend and I decided to make those two days cheat days. Now I am on a low carb diet and allow myself one cheat day a month roughly, but i really went overboard this time..... I usually feel very afraid of bread and starch when I have my cheat days but then it turns into over doing it pretty fast.
I started on the trip down with some crackers and cheese as a snack, ok no big deal...then when we got there I went out to some fun restaurant and I LOVE trying new places to eat. So I got two apps, coconut curry muscles with thai basil and home made BREAD! also some pork belly and sweet potato empanadas with some veggie cilantro slaw....oh my god I felt so bloated and horrible after that....then I drank lots of beer. Next day I carbed up again with biscuits and gravy for breakfast and a half of a fried shrimp po boy at a new orleans style restaurant with more beer and duck fat pop corn for dinner...then went to the Franklin Fountain and had a big ice cream sunday. I FELT LIKE SUCH GARBAGE. It honestly crippled me for the entire rest of the night....I still have not eaten today because I feel like a brick is living inside my belly So glad to get back on plan.
Just wanted to rant, I feel like it's bitter sweet. I look forward to my carb days but in reality I never end up enjoying them. The sweets seem too sweet and the bread seems too heavy for my stomach to handle. Maybe next time i'll take it easy. I realized that I haven't felt this way since i started low carb back in mid October and I don't miss it.
