Daily Check-In, Tuesday, May 5

You know what? After having Chinese food for lunch Saturday, then cookies as a snack Saturday night, Mexican for dinner Sunday, and then a slice of watermelon last night...I'm not feeling so hot. I know, I know...you don't switch up your eating plan like I did and expect rainbows and roses to come flowing out, but I didn't think I'd feel quite this yucky.

Maybe I need to reconsider lifting my dietary restrictions. Or maybe I should have stuck with what I planned to do instead of being so "flexible". In other words, maybe the sugar really does set me back. I said I'd remain animal-based and add in vegetables - but I did so much more.

If it's going to be a treat, it should be rare - not a day after day practice. I do NOT want to jump off the wagon of success I've had this year. So, I'm refocusing my energy to eating better, effective right now.

I'm also thinking I'm going to quit my Durham Bulls job after this weeks homestand. I have so many other things I need to be focused on, and I've not made a whole lot of space for quality time with my partner, family or friends lately. The extra cash each month was nice, but I think other things are more important.
