So, last night I had Pizza. Cheesy, greasy Pizza. It’s hard living paleo all the time and sometimes it really is easier to just say Ahh, the hell with it — I want Pizza! So I did and I didn’t just have one slice — I think I had 3. I took off half the cheese like I am used to doing and it really was like a drug to me. Then i had a bowl of Mint Chip Ice Cream. I was like an addict having their drug. Something really did take over my mind as I mindlessly grab the Ice Cream container. I knew I shouldn’t be sitting there doing that — but I wanted it so badly. So – I made it right in my head. “Oh, it’s one night — everyone can have a cheat day. It’s fine –It’s not going to kill me.”
I went to bed later than usual — couldn’t sleep and woke up quite a few times last nite. Tossed, turned, had some odd dreams. I woke up this morning, later than usual and felt like shit. I am all congested, sluggish. I feel like I have a hangover, seriously. I have a slight headache and I have that feeling of ‘man, I shouldnt’ have done that”. A Junk Food Hangover.
I am going to head to Crossfit Impavidus this morning for a WOD — will be interesting to see how this hangover affects my workout.
So the moral of the story — as yummy as it was — it’s totally not worth the after effects that I get. I like feeling up and rarin to go — this sluggish-ness bites.

That happens to me EVERY time I eat something I don’t usually eat or when I eat more than usual. I wake up sweating…I don’t feel well…I don’t sleep well…I feel sluggish the next day…I’ve adopted the 3 bites and done rule. If there is something out there I really want to try or have I’ll take just 3 bites. They say that after 3 bites we really aren’t tasting it anymore anyway..
