Feeling Like A Betrayal

So, it's been a few days since I've been here.  So sorry about that.  I'm feeling, right now, like my body is betraying me.  I went on a trip and was felled by a massive, horrendous, pukefest of a migraine.  I flew back and went to Muay Thai class, and right in the middle, I felt my calf muscle cramp.  And cramp, and cramp some more.  I limped off the mat and sat to the side, where I stretched.  And stretched and stretched some more. 

It's the next day now, and I can STILL feel the damned thing.  It's a gigantic lump in my leg and I've been rolling it out for an hour.  DEPART, CRAMP OF THE DEVIL.  DEPART, I SAY!

I attribute both the migraine and the cramp to a few errors in my diet.

• Not drinking enough water. I am usually VERY hydrated, but I had a ton of stress the day of my flight, and then the flight was delayed five hours and I didn't drink because I didn't want to have to pee on the flight. 
• Not eating well.  I flew with very little money - my debit card had been frozen that day (details over at Mom to the Screaming Masses) and I was afraid to spend all my money on one meal.
• Eating the wrong (i.e. no protein, high carb and fat) foods because they were cheaper
• Not traveling with my usual stash of oatmeal, protein powder, peanut butter and nuts.
• Not eating breakfast the next day.

Of course, if could just be that I'm getting old, and my body is betraying me. 

I hope I've learned my lesson and no one up there feels like I need another struggle!

Thanks for posting your struggles... when you do that, we all learn and plan better. Like this morning at my meeting, I packed some trail mix so I wouldn't get tempted by the meeting muffins. And that came in handy when the meeting went long.

I've been there. I have also struggled with my weight and it came to a point where I want to give up. But, there is hope. I am now 57 pounds lighter. I took the natural colon cleansing therapy and combined it with the Acai Berry Supplement. And it worked.

sometimes you just have to take a step back breath and move onto the next thing.

Don't you dearly love spam, especially with acai berry sauce? Ugh.

Please, if the pain continues, get it checked out. I'd hate for it to be DVT (deep vein thrombosis...)

Feel better soon!

Thanks for the honesty with your struggles. Traveling is one of my biggest weight loss set backs. Even when I plan everything out, it ends up much like your day. But we just have to start the next day anew and get back to the plan.
