Day 42- This week shouldn't count

This week has not been the ideal environment for healing. Due to external circumstances, I have not been able to take care of myself like I need to. My dog is very ill and I have been on 24 hour nursing care and observation. I haven't been sleeping so I have very little energy to get through the day, let alone have time to cook healthy balanced meals. My gut pain is constant but I am very sensitive to stress and sadness so I've just tried to eat when I can to maintain calories and not worry too much about it. He is making improvements so I'm hopeful I can get back into some sort of routine again and try to end the diet experience on a positive note.
