Joy dot* going into work an hour later to enjoy the morning.

Hi Dodi, traveling can be a challenge. As I healed I learned to work those things out. it will take you a few days to get your "groove" back but you will. When we heal our bodies remember and want to return to that.

Just get right back on track with food and sleep. Don't think of it as a backslide but a learning experience that next time you will be better prepared and make it through fine.

Idea, before you travel next time come and ask what others do for preparation and you will get some great hints and help. Chloe

: 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.
