This week my family had the stomach bug that lasted for days. Myself included. I am now over two months with the hypnosis and have been doing great...up to this point. I tried just eating chicken broth and staying hydrated with water. I just found that I was not getting my energy back. The thought of eating protein made me nauseous. I finally broke down and started to eat some saltines and drank Pedialyte. I quickly got my energy back but sure enough that made those darn Army men come running out. 3 days off (and I would love to say I just ate saltines but I would be lying) and today I am back on and feeling better.
What is done is done and I hope I have not messed up my hypnosis too much. I live far away and do not want to have to travel (or pay!) for a refresher.
Has anyone else faced this? Is there a way to stay on the plan yet be able to get better?
I am an endurance athlete; Julie said I could have green Gatorade, full sugar - for my workouts that are longer than 45 minutes (marathon training.) She also advised it for folks who work in extreme heat. While I've not used it when sick, it could be a solution.
ReplyDeleteWhen sick, I've found chicken soup the best option, but homemade, with stock from the bones. Soup, lots of water and lots of sleep do the trick.
