Hi Dodi,

Traveling sure can test us, can't it! For me, travel requires a bit of extra preparation, but I really enjoy feeling good, and so bringing extra stuff to help me feel good while I'm away is really worth it.

Have you thought about how you could do things differently next time? Maybe today is not the time to think about it, but after you feel a bit better?

: 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.
