Mind the Eggs!

I fell afoul of some dodgy eggs at breakfast yesterday morning. Let me be clear: the eggs in question were still in date and looked fine. However, they had been in the fridge awhile as we were away last week. I woke up feeling fine, but halfway through breakfast I started getting a very sore stomach, breaking out in a sweat and shaking. Fortunately the breakfast I had already managed to eat stayed down, though that was in serious doubt for the next hour and I kind of wished it had not for the two after that. The upshot of all this was I spent all morning in bed and felt pretty wasted all day. No question of doing any kind of workout, I only just managed to shower at 3pm and get the essential work tasks done by 5pm.

My diet was quite high in starchy carbohydrates, since this is the sort of thing you eat with an upset stomach. Believe it or not, the Doritos at 11:00am really helped to settle my stomach, probably because of the sugar and salt. Then I had the very nice turkey and vegetable soup for lunch with a tea bun, again very starchy and bland. Fortunately I did get enough fruits, vegetables and fibre, which will help the digestion.

So bit of a wasted day really, but I was feeling all better by yesterday evening. Let’s hope it really was the eggs and I’m not coming down with the flu!
