Booze=uugghh
Good (?) Morning, All,
I just thought I'd post to share what happened to me last night/this morning.
I've been on induction for about a month and a half..(i have a lot of weight to lose and was fine with the food choices)...feelin' good. I'm ready to move on OWL......but I have NO idea what I was thinking last night. My BF had some people over, and I left our house to go shopping. One of my co-workers called and I met her at an Irish Pub in our area. I haven't had a drink since probably January, because I had terrible acid reflux and alcohol made it unbearable.
But, I had decided since my acid reflux was all under control (another benefit of atkins!), I figured I'd try a lowcarb/no carb drink, even though I've read that it makes people stall.....I ordered a bacardi and diet coke.
and then a second one.
I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO SICK IN MY ENTIRE LIFE! I don't know if it was the booze, or if they put regular coke in by mistake (it tasted like diet). I felt like I was 21, sneaking in the house after a big party! I didn't even finish my second drink! And I was completely inebriated. And I felt so gross......soooooo queasy. I'm not sure if it's because it had been so long since I drank, or if the booze didn't like my healthier atkins system....
But I didn't cheat food-wise. I didn't pick at any of the pretzels, popcorn,etc. I came home and made myself a nice snack to try to soak up my crummy feeling.
Anyway, I'm still down a pound today, probably because my heart has been racing all night trying to metabolize that crap. I'm worried I'll be up in the next few days because of water-retention, etc.
Lesson learned, my friends. With the holiday weekend coming up (cookouts! parties! barbecues! beach!), i'm pledging a dry weekend. No booze for this chick. ANyone else with me? You're not alone!
Any newbies or otherwise reading the post, I just wanted to tell you first hand that IT WAS NOT worth it.
Off to get more water.
And some Tylenol..
...this is crazy!
Have a great weekend everyone. Be safe!
