Liquid Diet Day 6

Dec 06, 2010

The last 5 days have been instructive about how my body and mind functions.  I learned that I am very uncomfortable at 700 calories in a day, both psychologically and physically.  The 1000 calorie limit seems to suit me OK, and I really need to drink plain old water to keep hydrated.  I also am learning that I'm not sick, just because I'm hungry.  The two feelings Sick, and Hungry, are not the same thing.  I think most of my life I've equated the two.

Re. today, I just couldn't get it together to go to the gym at 5:15 this morning.  I really didn't drink enough calories yesterday, went to bed hungry, and had zero energy and felt kinda sick when the alarm rang at 5.  So I went and got a pre-made protein drink from the frig and Wa La, 15 minutes later I felt all kinds of fine.  Now, reflecting on it, the drink was only 110 calories, why did it perk me up?  Psychological or did I really need those calories?  In the end does it matter?  I'm learning my limits.

Anyway, after Richard left for work I sat down and finished my CPE education requirement for 2010 on the computer, then went to the gym for interval training on the treadmill.  Pushed it pretty hard, and sweated a good bit.  Now showered, I feel refreshed and accomplished, and looking forward to lunch.

Mmmm what'll it be.... Nectar Caribbean Cooler with V8 Diet Splash sounds great.
