Hi all,
I'm so very frustrated, at myself more than anything. Last Monday, before I left for an out-of-town work trip, I was seriously considering planning my Step 6 soon. I was feeling on top of the world and really strong and steady on all 5 steps. 5 days out of town, however, has really done a number on me, and I still haven't recuperated. I had no potato for 5 nights because we ate dinner so late. My timings were all off, I actually had one day that I had zero browns (even their stupid breakfast potatoes had been peeled!), and I got very little sleep. It's very possible I've been glutenized, too.

I tried my best to get back to normal starting Sunday, but I still feel exhausted, depressed and even angry. An irritated anger than I haven't felt in a long time. I know these are biochemical feelings, that will pass as I keep doing the food. But I don't know how long it's going to take to undo the damage that I did in those 5 days.
