First, I wasn’t going to tell this on myself here, but at the same time, I need to because I at least need to learn from it. Maybe someone else will.
I went too low tonight. Probably spent 5 minutes too many at the gym.
I knew when I hit the kitchen I’d gone too low, I was starving, though I’d eaten at 4:30, and I was just starting the shakes. I grabbed food that I knew would fill the empty but be low on carbs … french onion soup, microwave pork rinds (instead of crackers), and started my evening carb sandwich.
All a good plan but not fast enough. Put mayo on the sandwich – but big mistake, mayo is in glass jar. Shakes caused me to drop it — almost on big dog’s head. Big dog acts brave but isn’t. She immediately pelted up the stairs and dived under my bed (according to husband). Smart move.
Little dog decided to grab mayo — off glass. All I could do was scream at her. Coudn’t move. Too much glass, even though I did have shoes. Oh, I forgot to say, that car accident that started all of this. Went through windshield. I am DEATHLY afraid of glass. Used to, I couldn’t even bare to look at any. I’ve gotten better.
Fortunately she left the glass along, figured mom had lost her mind and didn’t know what else to do. Husband came pelting down to see what was wrong, shooed little dog away. He had no shoes so had to go up.
I felt so bad, I was shaking so hard, couldn’t help. Knew I had to have food, didn’t want to roller coaster so was staying away from sugar. Finally just said, sorry, have to eat. (At this point, little dog has been locked out of house and is in the back yard).
Husband ended up cleaning it all up — it really could have sat until I felt better but I sure couldn’t say anything.
— man the crashes come fast.
I have no idea what I should have done to make it better — but that’s the last glass mayo jar we own. And I was fine once I ate. I think I ended up with an extra couple of hundred calories than planned.
And the good news? Beagle girls are used to me acting weird…they slowly came out of hiding. Little dog first.
