This last Thursday (7/25/2013) ....

.. my sister and I went to a very famous sandwich shop and each had a 6"ssandwich that had meatballs, marinara sauce and topped it off with lots of veggies. I ended up getting really sick, bloating up, gaining most (if not all) of my weight back that I most recently lost, with my muscles cramping up. I was super tired, achy, and felt, generally, cheese-poisoned.

So, I looked up the ingredients for that sandwich and I found out it has Romano cheese in the meatballs, as well as a lot of soy and high fructose corn syrup in both the meatballs and sauce. Gross!  Well, you know ... I thought that the sandwich shop was about eating fresh, getting what you saw and not a bunch of hidden stuff that you don't want. So, I am extremely disappointed. I won't be going there, again, without looking up the sandwich ingredients first.

Disclaimer, lest I get sued: When I said gross, what I meant was that soy is very bad for me, personally, as is cheese, and I am not particularly keen on high fructose corn syrup. The sandwich was very tasty; but, not something I would have ordered, had I been better informed as to what I was going to get. It was not hard to find the ingredients list by Googling for information on what they put in that sandwich. It took me by surprise, though, as I expected something closer to just simple meatballs and marinara sauce.

I also meant the results were gross. I spent a lot of time in the bathroom, having diarrhea and feeling like my stomach was being clawed apart. So, yeah - gross. Tasty, but, on a personal level, the entire experience is not one I would care to repeat.

Anyway, as a result, I did little (or no) exercise on Friday - Sunday, nor did I drink the salt water. On Monday, I did one session of 10 minute of exercise. Today, I did two, but, I also did some other work that involved carrying around heavy bags filled with laundry and walking around the yard a bit, plus, yesterday (Monday) I did walk down to the local quick stop sort of place, so, there was a little extra exercise.

Today, I remembered to drink my salt water, once. My gut was in such turmoil that I did not do it twice. Instead, I ate a big helping of grits, plus two eggs, that was both breakfast and lunch.

Right now, I am mainly worried, again, about getting things done in the house and in the yard. So, while I shall do some more formal exercise, if there is time and energy to do so, I think I'll be getting plenty moving furniture about and such, for at least the next few days. I am still recovering from the cheese, too.
