Spring Break and such

So the last few weeks have been pretty crazy. I went to Zions and St George for spring break and had a blast. We hiked for three days and it was great. I decided to not do the diet that week based on the fact that my roommates didn't want me to be grouchy and that I needed some carb and more calories to hike my heart out. It was great to eat real foods but I still didn't have a huge appetite and I didn't gain any weight! yay!

So since returning I have been back on the diet. However, before leaving Dr. Barker and I talked about me switching to the modified diet because I had been getting low blood sugars everyday causing me to be "an angry ravenous badger" and to get blurry vision. So, I am now eating a spoonful of peanut butter every day with lunch and it was helped immensely. I have been feeling so much better and I think I have been a little less snappy. On Saturday I may have over done it however. I went to a 2-hour Zumba class with Tylynn. If you have not tried Zumba I recommend it, it is absolutely fabulous. The funnest workout I have ever had. It was my decision to go on a 2- hour, 10 mile bike ride with Morgan after this that messed me up. I obviously did not have enough carbohydrates to actually do this, I got super low blood sugars and Morgan was genuinely concerned for my safety. I need to remember that just because I feel like I can does not mean my body can handle it. It was just too beautiful of a day to stay inside. The great news is I have lost a total of 16 lbs now with another weigh in on Thursday. The diet is going well though and the foods still taste pretty great. I will try to post more often. :)
