This morning I woke up with a terribly upset tummy :( Still, I thought, let me cook first so that the body will get warmed up and then may be I can go for the walk. But after I was done cooking I was still not feeling good. I had an uneasy feeling and my legs felt like jelly ! So at 6:30 a.m. I decided to lie down for 'just 15 minutes'...and I'm sure we all know what happens after that ! I woke up straight at 9:00 a.m. ! I was still not feeling good. But there were important tasks in office and so, very reluctantly, I got ready and went. So no exercise today. In office I tried to have a normal lunch. But after that the stomach ache started and I had to make some visits to the rest room :( I was very drained out in the evening when I returned home. I just didn't feel like eating anything either.
Then TH told me a recipe to stop all the 'trouble'. Take two slices of bread and toast them crisp. Take a boiled potato, make slices and put them on one toast, sprinkle some salt and cover with the other toast. Eat this sandwich and you'll quickly be perfectly fine. To tell you the truth I absolutely didn't believe that bread and potato could help. Yet, I wanted to feel better. So I did as told and, wonder of wonders, I got better !

There's something I must admit. It felt soooooo good to eat bread after so many days ! Previously I'd have bread for breakfast almost 4 times a week. Since I started the exercise and mindful eating, I stopped all maida products. Although, yesterday's bread was whole wheat bread, I always think that it still contains some maida. I realised I actually missed bread ! :)))
There's something I'm a little angry about. Its been almost a month since I started this journey. I started it because I want to be healthy and fit. I don't like it that I fell ill. I'm not supposed to fall ill when I have actually begun taking care of my health ! I shared this with TH and he said, don't link unrelated things. You ate something that didn't agree with you and so you are ill. That's all there is to it. It would have happened even if you weren't taking care of your health. I do agree with him of course. But I am somebody who absolutely cannot tolerate being ill. I'm sure nobody else does, but I'm a little more irritable about being ill and not fully functional. It is like an interference in my life. So I've decided that tomorrow will be absolutely the last day when I'm ill.
I want to go for the walk tomorrow. But if my legs are still feeling weak, I may not. I want to be perfectly fine before I launch myself back into the full-fledged exercise routine. Let's see what happens.

It happens with me too and specially when my motivation is at an all time high! I feel so bummed. But I think its the body's way of readjusting to what you are suddenly doing to it!
