After a week of stomach flu (misery) I am now trying to figure out HOW to get back on plan. I am not really "off plan" as in, eating a bunch of junk... but I am just trying to figure out what direction to take next, especially with Easter weekend looming.
Basically I was doing South Beach phase 1 for 2 weeks. I dropped 9 pounds. Then I got sick, threw up for 2 days, and spent 4 more days trying to get ANYTHING to stay down (I basically ate toast, saltines, cream of wheat, chicken broth and sips of 7up for 2 days, then a day where I ate the same but cheese pizza for dinner, and then added back yogurt, bananas, and a turkey sandwich. And 3 chocolate mini eggs).
So today I feel pretty much all better. I am feeling good, and I was thining about going back to the South Beach thing but with Easter weekend, I dunno if I want to do that. I mean, I don't plan to eat a ton of carbs but maybe *some.* I mean, I seem to do better when I have structure: either "I can have 1600 calories per day," or "I will eat from this list," or "I will eat only whole, natural foods and not processed stuff." I am just not sure what direction to head right now.
So this morning I just made myself a no-sugar protein shake with a half banana and a half T of peanut butter blended into it. But when I think of lunch and dinner and this weekend... I am just not sure what to do. Except I know I want to walk a mile each day and be sure to get in plenty of water, and not eat a bunch of crap.
Suggestions? Encouragement?
