New Diet - New G.I.?

I lasted from January 30th, to February 10 on my new diet. On Feb. 10th I had a friend visiting from Miami and he wanted some good food from the area, so we ate Mexican at Joe T. Garcia's. The food is amazing there and temptation won as I thoroughly enjoyed their homemade tortilla chips, flour and corn tortillas. I knew we were going to eat there so throughout the day I "cheated" and had little things here and there that I knew I shouldn't.

Well then, since I killed my diet with that I figured I would give myself a break for Friday and start over today. Yesterday on my "break" I ate icecream, a sandwich with a variety of cured meat in it from Central Market, a rootbeer, and way too much dark chocolate. OH MY GOODNESS!!! I am dying today. I woke up early to go running with my running group as I do every Saturday and am I running? No I am writing this blog entry as I run back and forth to the bathroom. My stomach is cramping so bad. I had a little bit of an issue yesterday but not so bad or painful. My question is: Are my stomach issues related to throwing my system for a loop with the "bad" food or did I really eat something that had gone bad. I really doubt the former because everything I at was from really reputable places and the people I was with ate the same things. Except for the rootbeer. I was on my own on that one.

I am starting over again today. Should I reward myself? Of course! I am driving over to Hurst to the closest Hancock Fabrics store and I am going to indulge myself with patterns and fabric. Who loves to sew?! I do! However I do not have the time to sew, with my current adventures in Graduates School, therefore I consider myself more of a collector of supplies.

Wish me luck on round two! Enjoy your beautiful day!
