You may have seen the New Year’s post I wrote about my goal to eat better for my upcoming IVF cycle.
I did awesome for about 10 days and then I had a MAJOR FAIL.
I caught the virus that everyone in the country seems to have. I can’t remember the last time I was that sick. I coughed non-stop for about 2 weeks and could hardly speak. I missed 5 days of work!
The problem was that all the coughing made it impossible to eat anything except soft, moist food. So my options were basically soup and mashed potatoes. I managed to keep up my daily glass of V8, but the apples and cruciferous veggies were out of the question.
Once I stopped coughing, I could eat more foods, but I was still feverish and couldn’t make it to the grocery store. Thank goodness for frozen pizza, but so much for my limited gluten-intake!
Thanks to codeine cough syrup I got when I finally went to the doctor, I’ve had a few nights of good sleep and I feel like a normal human being again. My husband said I deserved a glass of wine and potato chips, and I agreed. Unfortunately, it turned into a whole bag of potato chips, but oh well….
Now it’s a new week, and I’m determined to get back on track.I’m looking forward to get back on track this week. I already passed up free donuts at work today, so I’m feeling confident!
