Why you might ask?
Well, I threw out my back this morning carrying my 5 year old in and out of the car as I carpooled my older two sons to school. As I lie here, I can't help but think, "God is tryin' to tell me something." So I started today really good on The Body Ecology Diet. I wasn't hungry, drank 96 oz before sundown, and felt... well, deprived.
I don't know what it is about this diet. My body feels great on it but my psyche does a number on me. I watched my husband have a cup of coffee this morning and, before you know it, my inner child was throwing a temper tantrum about why I can't have coffee and sugar. On top of that, I was craving a piece of toast... so I had one... and I felt great about it... for about 2 hours... and then came the sugar crash followed by the bloating feeling followed by the lower back pain and muscle spasms.
My "new" plan of allowing myself to follow some of "The Body Ecology" rules but not all of them while also exercising more totally backfired because now that my back's gone out on me (first time in all of my 33 years of life this has ever happened), I can't exercise and, without further ado, I realize that here I am repeating the spiritual 6th grade again.
So what's the lesson? I'm supposed to be on The Body Ecology Diet and I better get with the program before the Universe sends me a larger message. Needless to say, I am getting the message.
As Scarlett O'Hara would say, "Tomorrow is another day..."
Back at square one tomorrow. Oy vey!
