Maybe it's the fact that with daylight saving time the mornings are lighter earlier. Maybe it's the fact that I only have 3 more class sessions before a long and lovely winter BREAK from grad school. Maybe it's the fact that I am on the downward slope of assignments that are due and most of that is almost finished. Maybe it's the fact that we discovered new treats that are really yummy and satisfying and that these teaspoons of honey can still be used and I feel ever so less "deprived" at the moment. No matter the reason, I am renewed this Monday morning.
Got my workout in...today was the Dirty 30...hard but there was only ONE move I couldn't do...some side laying lift of your hip while your feet are planted and then you, oh I don't know, lift your torso. Wha? So, I did something else that would utilize my abs on the second rep. Other than that, I was able to do everything else, which made me happy, sweaty, hungry, and exhausted.
Hungry. So, weird thing now. I used to be able to get up and sometimes not get around to breakfast until 11am. And then be totally fine until lunch, whenever it was. Dinner. Maybe a little snack or something or other. Dessert. All good. Now, I am looking at the clock and hungry. I wake up hungry and until last night when I finally had something that looked more like dessert, I was going to bed hungry too.
But, I am plugging along. Day by day, one day at a time. Determined. Scared and worried still that this program will really work and bring those awful cholesterol numbers to a more reasonable and safe place. But, I do feel better eating this way. This whole food way without preservatives and extra crap that we've (society) just sort of accepted whenever it was we all accepted it that food was now to be quick, convenient, in a box, in the freezer section and encased in a million unrecognizable ingredients. So for that, I am very happy. Even my face seems less inflamed and angry. Maybe it's the water helping there too.
All in all, I feel really great.
