Day four of my high protein no carbs and I am going stir crazy. My mood swings and are making me dizzy. Irritable, uptight, and always craving that sugar hit something chronic. So struggling through and to get my mind back on track I test my ketone levels to see if I am in fat burning mode, as I watch that tiny strip turn darker pink I get a sense of self satisfaction and feel motivated to continue along this path.
I remember last time I did the Atkins program it took a good two weeks before I was fully detoxed from all the rubbish, but I remember feeling a lot clearer in the mind once I was and there was no temptation or desire left for the sweet sugary milkshakes or soft drinks that I so love.
Went swimming 6am with Julie & Thomas Gosney. We will swim every Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings. My goal was 3 laps and I did 13, but now I am exhausted, every thing hurts and I feel like throwing up. I think I swallowed too much pool water. I was trying to keep up with Julie and I think I over did it, so I hope by Wednesday I am feeling better or recovered otherwise these are sessions that I am not going to be looking foward to. I am happy that I did do it as that hurdle is now over, I keep thinking it is going to be harder than it is so I was really surprised to see that I could do more than three laps, even happier knowing that I did 13!
