Day 180: Fell Off The Paleo Wagon!

Yes, I fell off my Paleo diet and I'm not very proud of myself, but I'm working real hard at trying to climb back up in that wagon and stay there! I did stay gluten free, but not sugar free! We went on a vacation to Florida and during the long drive there, and back I think I ate my weight in Peanut M&M's, plain M&M'S, potato chips, I even drank two 16oz bottles of Roll Back Pepsi! (real sugar, not corn syrup) over eating, not controlling my portions, and no exercise was NOT a good thing! To top this all off, just before we left I had to start back on a very high dose of Prednisone which makes very hunger so I really tend to over eat. My body is now starting to not only show the effects of this over eating but I feel tired, bloated, etc. This past Sunday I woke up real sick with a very high temperature,(103.7), vomiting, diarrhea and very achy! I felt like I was going to die! It's now Thursday and I'm still not back to normal. I haven't been able to workout, I come home from work exhausted and my colitis is not getting much better because of the virus. This is a huge wake up call! I know that Paleo works because I was doing so well and once I stopped it was straight down hill from there. I'm trying to get back up on that wagon, and I know that it's not going to be easy, but I'm very determined to do it! Until tomorrow, goodnight and God Bless!
