Uh oh! I thought I slacked off two weeks ago… last week was truly a disappointment for me. I fell hard for this years Halloween goodies. I just could not resist. This is the one time in the year when eating a sufficient amount of candy is acceptable and I could not stop myself.
I took probiotics about 4 times out of the week which is more than half. I did not completely forget to take them but the three other days, I just did not want to take it and risk more stomach pains. I know that in order for my stomach to be at ease I need to stay consistent with it, but this past week was a bit difficult.
Since I did miss drinking 64 oz. a day everyday two weeks ago, it was hard to get back into it. I was definitely drinking a lot less last week and it completely shows from my skin. Before when I was drinking roughly 64 oz or more a day, my skin was glowing, whereas now, I am getting minor breakouts. I did not realize how impactful water was not only internally but physically as well.
The intermittent fasting has been gradually getting better up till Halloween day. Once I made the difficult decision to allow myself to indulge in a few pieces of candy past 6 pm. It was definitely a choice I did not regret. I realized that intermittent fasting is a good foundation for any individual trying to stay disciplined, but I am also allowed to treat myself from time to time. If there is no reward for your accomplishments then there is no drive to further the mission.
I’m not going to freak out about my slight mishaps within the past two weeks. I am human and the temptation is such a real thing, but this coming up week is a new week! If I can do it then we can all do it!
