Setbacks and Recovery

Ok, so I have been sort of waylaid for this weekend.  The aforementioned remodel has overtaken my entire house, and I currently have the entire contents of my kitchen, including the refrigerator, sitting in the middle of my living room.  I can barely walk around, let alone work out. They were supposed to come back today and at least make the place livable, however they did not.  And this is the only room that is even remotely big enough to work out in. Therefore, Insanity is on pause.  Blah!

Its frustrating, but I'm dealing. I'm trying to not let it completely immobilize me to stalemate, but I'm enjoying the recovery at the same time.  My diet is still on track - except for yesterday. Yesterday I woke up with my body SCREAMING for carbs.  I tried just some fruit with my usual breakfast of a a protein shake and some eggs, but that did not cut it, so I had some raisin bran. Then that wasn't good enough, so it ended up being a carb indulgent day with a sandwich on wheat for lunch and a burger for dinner, along with my usual veggies. Definitely think it boiled down to just not eating enough to compensate for all of the activity the day before. Today has been much better carb-wise.  At least I'm still staying active and moving around.  Hopefully by Monday night I will be able to get back into it.  Wondering if I should start over though, or pick up where I left off, since I was only 3 days into it and am now missing three days?  I know its supposed to be 10x harder on your body to jump into the middle of it.  Frustrated!

That said, my body is definitely thanking me for the recovery time! Not nearly as sore as I have been.  Could basically walk normally today, and that was with only one day "off".  Just disappointing that I can't really do what I want to do though when I was so on track, but I guess the payoff is a brand new kitchen and bathrooms! Patience.  And by Monday the majority of this stuff will be out of here and back where it belongs, and I will be be able to pick it back up.

Anyway, short post but wanted to remain accountable and let you know where everything stands. Even if it stands still.
