One week into this journey I've lost weight and I've gained an enormous amount of energy! It's crazy, just 7 short days ago I was suffering from insomnia, fatigue (I know weird combo), short temper, moodiness. I was lethargic and essentially in a food coma. Eating fast food, fast, processed food and far too much of it. With a crazy schedule between work, school and my son's social calendar, I could justify every drive through, every restaurant.
I cannot believe that in just a week I've regained my crazy energy, maybe not 100% but close. I wake up at 4:45am, do chores, make lunches, prepare dinner, homework, blah, blah, blah, the simple point is I used to stay up until 11:30pm, hit snooze until 6:00am, then bump and grump through the house trying to figure out why I was so tired, why I seemed rushed, why I just felt like going back to bed. No breakfast, fast food and sugary snacks through the day until I hit the drive through at night. Here's the shocker, all without exercise! I know huh.
Now, up at 4:45, oatmeal, computer work, chores, 100 sit ups, 100 push ups, make my son's breakfast, lunches and get ready for work - awake and ready to face the day. I feel refreshed. I pack my lunch or make healthy choices, I drink lots of water, and take vitamins. At night I walk the track during football practice, hit the gym three days a week and am beginning boxing workouts. It's sad that I waited so long to get to this feeling, to make these seemingly simple changes. I hope I can inspire others to make the changes now, find the "good food euphoria" and enjoy a happier, healthier life before irreversible problems arise. Anyone can do this, most of you want to. Love yourself enough to want great things, you deserve it!
Keep up the good work.
