Valentine's cheat turned sour

Remember how I mentioned those chocolate covered strawberries? Well I also had wine and more scallops than any person should. Not to mention at lunch on Thursday I ingested some bread....whoops. In my defense I was bored. I'm bored of chicken and salad. I know I've mentioned my boredom 100 times but it's a fact. I just thought, oh half of a cheeseburger and a 1 quarter of the bun won't hurt me. NOT TRUE. I was hurting. I was hurting bad. Totally thought I had food poisoning yesterday. I even came home from work but it turns out or at least we think it was just gluten. I keep doing this but I keep learning, gluten is my enemy and I feel awful when I eat it. Period. So why do I keep doing it? Why do I keep choosing to ingest something that I know makes my insides feel like they are going to die? I don't know. Human nature I guess. It sucks though.

Yesterday, I tried to work but ended up coming home and going back to bed. Then my amazing wife got me my cure-all, Pho Ga from Pho Mai in Upland. Again, worst mistake ever. I felt like I was drugged. I passed out at 8pm. In fact, we both passed out. We both felt like we were drugged and just couldn't stay awake. It was awful. We got up this morning and took Stella for a walk and got back on the horse. It wasn't a super brisk walk but we walked for 45 minutes and then I went to the gym to do some legs and arms, to see if I can force all the toxins out. 

We decided no more cheating. It just isn't good for us. Neither of us feel good when we cheat on Paleo. It's amazing that I feel so different when I eat gluten. I wish I had known years ago. Whats interesting is Eboni has no side effects from food, she doesn't feel weird or off or sick but I have the opposite reaction. I immediately feel awful and like my insides are being crushed. I am much more in tuned with my body now than before and before I was very in tuned with my ailments. But now I feel it all. I know how chicken and salad make me feel. I know how bacon makes me feel and I know how gluten wreaks havoc on my system.
