Not been an enjoyable week so far, all told.
After the unpleasantness of Monday’s ‘acid bowel’ scenario, I decided to eat as little as possible yesterday, hoping I could flush out whatever toxins, additives or viruses might be causing my abdominal discomfort. So I had a dish of ‘melon medley’ for breakfast (a pre-packed side order of chunks of four different types of melon, available from our ‘Deli To Go’ aisle in the supermarket), nothing for lunch, then a simple chicken salad for tea. I also drank roughly 14 litres of water throughout the course of the day.
I slept well last night, but today I feel as if I’m at the tail-end of a three-day sickness and diarrhoea bug. I have no energy, I’m exhausted and I’m more washed-out than a sock that’s been lodged in a washing machine drum and has been through 64 spin cycles. That’s my way of saying I feel empty and eviscerated.
I don’t know what to do for the best now. Keep it going to try and give my system a reboot, or go straight back onto the carbs and protein intake I usually get through and see how my body responds? I feel simultaneously nauseous and hungry and my underfed mind is confusing me. I might just go for some simple eggs on toast and wait for some kind of reaction.
