I have LOTS of energy

[notfat4long]

Okay I am at day six today and have felt really good about the changes I have made. On day three I felt better than I have in a long, long time but TODAY I have so much energy it's just not funny. I mean I am bouncing off the walls for some reason. I have already scrubbed my kitchen this morning, walked 30 minutes on the treadmill and 25 situps on the exercise ball.

I almost feel euphoric. It's kind of the way I felt when I was younger. My mother tells me that my first word was not MAMA it was GO. And when I was little and into my teens and EARLY 20's my nickname was Kelley Go. Is that person coming back after all these years???

I have been so anxious, depressed, tired, dizzy and just plain weird feeling for so long that this almost seems new, yet familiar.

Anyone else ever felt this way??

Re: I have LOTS of energy

Hey, glad to see that I'm not the only one bouncing off the walls today. I started with exercise this morning and I've been going ever since, cleaning, doing laundry, cooking breakfast for everyone, and I'm just HYPER but not like annoying hyper, just this energy that is pushing me to keep going. I love it. I think I'm going to clean my piano/scrapbooking room next.

Congratulations. It only gets better. When you are feeling better about your life and the way you look...it gives you more pride in yourself and self confidence which makes you feel even better. For me it gets better each day!! So happy you are feeling the Atkins High!!

Re: I have LOTS of energy

Yes, you have so much energy on this plan - it is just great. All that protein helps.

Oneinteresting thing that happened to me was the effect white bread had on those new energy levels. We had a visitor and ate out 3 times in a week (a few eeks ago now). I ate white bread on those 3 occasions. Not much, about 3-4 rounds of a French stick. On the Friday, I woke up tired and felt awful, and was tired all day. I missed the gym! It was not till I was driving home that the penny dropped! I'd poisoned myself all over again.

Now you have eliinated those poisons from your system you will contonue to feel good. Sure, if you have a few hard days at work or home you may feel a bit tired, but recovery is fastre when eating all this good quality food and no junk.

Enjoy!

Re: I have LOTS of energy

Congrats on your new found energy levels, I love that feeling!! I'm currently on Day 3 of RE-induction (I fell off the wagon just a bit - but enough to gain back several pounds.. I tell you it doesn't take much!!). Currently suffering through a flu.. Really hope I experience that energy boost at the end of the week, my house certainly could use it lol
