Well, I’ve REALLY felt bad for the last couple of weeks… roller coaster, yoyo, whatever you want to call it, my emotions have been in turmoil. And my BODY!! – oh, my GOSH!! I NEVER thought I could hurt so bad just from getting out of bed and walking around. My joints hurt – my muscles ache – torment just to get around and do the stuff I need to do every day. I was thinking I need to go to the dr to see if I have lyme disease or fibromyalgia or something like that.
I was afraid I would be too tempted with all the sugary stuff here yesterday, but I did not have anything with sugar… except the mayo in my tunafish salad has a little added sugar. Even the tea I had yesterday I didn’t add any stevia. This morning I’m actually able to get around without every muscle in my body aching – and I kept the back deck swept off yesterday and last night. Didn’t do a lot of physical because I’m sitting at the computer working, but did do some normal housekeeping stuff. I am telling myself I was so full of sugar that it was making my joints and muscles hurt. If I can keep that in mind when I reach for a sugary snack, I won’t have a lot of trouble passing. And I LIKE sugar – a LOT!!
Thinking about it, back when I was riding my bicycle all the time, I didn’t even hurt like I have the past month or so. Muscles sore, yeah, but not stiff and aching. And NEVER the up and down roller coaster emotions that I have had since Christmas. I am going to see if I can make a calendar and keep up with my sugar intake and how I feel as well as my diet and exercise. Might help me focus. Or not. As long as I don’t feel as rotten as I have this month, it will be worth it. Today is day 2 of no sugar, and at the moment I’m not really tempted- or missing it.
