I busted 2 days ago. I had 4 glasses of red -and went on a carb binge. Back on track today. I must say, I do feel so much better now that my muscle glycogen stores are no longer empty! For 4 days previously, I had been struggling thru my training, feeling like a zombie, pumping myself up on caffeine so much that I couldn't sleep when I wanted to. I am not starving myself, far from it, I average 2000 cals/day.
I am determined to stay off the booze. I have talked to my partner again about not having grog in the house. He has no drinking problem and enjoys a glass or 2 with dinner and 1 before bed. After the scare I gave him last weekend (thanks to my drinking) I felt I was not in a position to make demands. I declined an invite to a Melbourne Cup luncheon, because I am definitely not ready for a social situation that involves others drinking.
Tell me it's not always gonna be so hard!!!
