Weary
Woke at 4:19 a.m. and couldn't go back to sleep. Fun, fun! I got a lot done on the party skirt, though. I'm modifying the lining of the flounce so it puffs out at the bottom, like those mid-to-late 50s cocktail party skirts. I thought about going all sleek and streamlined with this outfit, since the blouse is severe and dramatic. But it's a holiday party! Hot pink poofy skirt, it is.
4:30 was over six hours ago. I am really tired.
My energy levels aren't helped by the fact that every time I eat, I get a slight stomachache. The horrible hunger-ish cramping and incessant peckishness is gone, but my system still hasn't recuperated from the extra fruit and booze over Thanksgiving weekend. The Whole9 folks recently ran a two-part series on Eating Dirty. In closing the second article, they say:
"There are off-diet foods you can eat with little perceived negative effect, and there are others that will absolutely wreck you if you eat even the tiniest amount. The catch is, these things are different for everyone. Use our Whole30 program to figure out what foods are okay, and what are not. You will eventually figure out that the not okay foods are simply never, ever going to be worth it."
I'm finding that even on-diet foods*, when eaten to excess**, cause me troubles. Which is good to know, but kind of a drag. I'm finding some comfort in the knowledge that, so far, wine (white and red) has given me absolutely zero problems after being re-introduced post Whole30.
Man oh man, do I need a nap.
* Fruit and high-sugar vegetables like butternut squash or carrots
** In my case, more than three times a week
