Carb overload

Well I have been feeling ****ty for the past day or so.  I think it is from having too many carbs.  I feel very tired and like I am walking through sand all the time.  Yesterday when I was working out I felt exausted.  Then to top it off (because it takes me a while to learn) I had more carbs for dinner.  I made homemade pizza for the kiddos and was so tired that rather than cook some protein I had a slice of pizza.  SOOOOO  Today I am trying to do high protein and no more carbs for the rest of the day.  I had a waffle with high protein peanut butter for breakfast and it just about killed me.  SO no more.  I have shrimp for lunch and will do straigh protein for dinner to see if that helps.  I know , I don't do well with carbs so why do I do this to myself.  I guess just to remind myself just how ****ty I can make myself feel. 

Good luck!  I've been draggy the last few days so maybe this weather has something to do iwth it...we're growing roots from so much rain LOL.

Hang in there!

"Insanity:  doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."

That would also describe me and my incessant need to not weigh my food and over eat until I am miserable for hours. Like today, and last night, and last week.  WHEN will I learn??? 

I too am going back on protein shakes for a few days to get back on track and give my pour pouch a break.

I am sitting at my desk now with a pouch full of 1/2 a cheeseburger and 3 onion rings... hmmm.... does that explain why my pants are unbuttoned?  Yes, I believe it does.

And I had shrimp for lunch but Tracy you are going to have to teach me how to cook it, mushy again.

LOL.  OK here is what I do for the shrimp.  I boil water with a little salt in it then add the shrimp to the boiling water.  Stir a few times then take one out and cut it to see if it is done. (white all the way thru.)  then I drain them and run cold water over them or put in and ice bath (this stops carryover cooking).  Then I spread them out on a dish towel to finish cooling and pat dry before I put them in the fridge.  I weigh them into portions then refrigerate.  I think that maybe they are too hot when you put them in the fridge and they may be still cooking as they cool.  Hope this helps.

Thank you!  I will try that. I really like shrimp, but not when it's paste.
