gassy jack goes to detox

Yes, it's Wednesday, and I must face the scales tomorrow... I feel betrayed by my own self, but before me had been laid a cornucopia of temptations... I don't care if you are Superman himself, there is no saying no to Lorena's brownie and her chocolate soufflé with gingerbread sauce. But no one to blame but myself. I can joke that it was her fault, or that it was Christmas, or .... or .... Bottom line: it was me. Plain and simple. Everyone around me caught the stomach flu. Is is sad and pathetic that I envied them a little? Had I have caught the flu, I a) wouldn't have been tempted to eat, as I wouldn't have been able to keep anything down and b) lost 4-5 lbs from throwing up anything I did eat! Yup. Sad and pathetic. Luckily, I am back on track (still two parties to go for the 'Season' but at least I FEEL confident in my ability to withstand (too many) temptations.) The funny thing I've found as well with this RVL is that when I eat bad foods, or heavy foods, I guess I should say, I get those little cleaner guys in my tummy. (See previous blogs). I've only had an issue with (major) gas after the Chinese food on Christmas Eve... I had to run to the bathroom at my M-I-L's, thinking that I was going to explode. "Food Escape!" Still no painful cramps, just low lying, insistent grumbles... Luckily, there was no explosion, although I think I may have shook the house with the noise! We won't go into any more details such as the smell! LOL. Kinda funny, actually. Note to self: RVL does not like greasy chinese food! LOL When I am focused on good eating. Nice big salad with cut up meat and a few cucumber and tomato slices, I still get the grumbles, but nothing major. Again, I just think of them as those little scrubber guys in my tummy, detoxing all that food and turning my fat into lean. I dunno. Maybe RVL is a hallucinogenic as well! Ha ha ha! Whatever works! I am off to one of those parties mentioned tonight. I will do my beat to remember that Christmas is about the PEOPLE, not the FOOD. I will let you know how it goes tomorrow.
