Human Hibernation!

Jan 06, 2009

I have been reading about the '3 Week Stall' and think that I am in it.  I haven't lost any weight since Thursday (Jan 1)...plus I am so tired I could sleep all day. 

I know I should be eating three times a day, but can't make myself do it.  I am eating at least 2x's a day about 1 oz at a time.  Any more than that is uncomfortable.  I am drinking about what I am suppose to - up to about 50 oz, so that is ok. 

Is the sleepiness because my metabolism is slowing down (thinks it's starving)?  Will this go away soon?  I am having a hard time paying attention at work...

According to advice on the forums I need to be getting more protein, I am going to start having a shake in the morning on my way to work to get in more protein and hopefully that will help.

Some research has showed me that it is not uncommon for the body to say "Wait just a minute here - where is my food?" and try to shut down until the food comes back.  Exercise is suppose to help - but how are you suppose to do that when all you want to do it sleep.  I am going to try 10 minute increments and see if that helps too. 

I know there is a learning curve, but I don't like to sit around not getting things done.  I feel like I am missing a big chunk of the plan here and I can't figure out what it is. 

I did go back to work after one week, maybe that was a mistake.  Maybe it was just too soon, but I don't like to sit around either.
