OOOH PAYING THE PRICE NOW

Well after the euphoria of my long run wore off and all the feel good endorphins didnt feel so good any more, I ended up feeling really crappy today. The message was loud and clear:

DO NOT OVEREAT NO MATTER HOW GOOD THE FOOD TASTES.
WINE IS BETTER IN MODERATION - LESS IS MORE.
AND FINALLY, HONOUR YOUR BODY SO IT HONOURS YOU BACK.

I'm sure that the combination of too much food, too much wine and then not enough sleep made for my crappy physical state today. Oh and because I was so tired, I really felt the cold. I couldnt wait to finish work as I just wasnt overly productive in this pathetic state.

So on the walk to my car I thought about this all and realised yet again how important it is to eat well. I hardly ever feel like this anymore because I've been taking much better care of myself. So yesterday was a timely reminder of whats important and how I want to live my life.

Tonight's goal is to get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow morning I'm training upper body and abs and following it up with one of my superb blueberry pancakes. Miss J and I are going to lunch but it'll be low key affair me thinks. Fingers crossed that i wake up feeling as great as I do every other day.

I agree, I am the same my body rarely feels yuck now, but today it does from all the carbs and stuff I ate yesterday... I'm not getting emotional about it, but mater of fact that I need to cut out bread and start eating more like I was before, to get the bloating down and feel more energetic again

Yep it doesnt take much does it to slip back into bad old habits Kristy?? I have some quiet alarm bells sounding as I've written in tonight's post.
