This past weekend was a busy one. Friday night a trip to the zoo with my sister and nephew. Saturday hanging out with family. Sunday trip to the outlet mall with my sisters and a brother-in-law.
I feel exhausted. Not from all the fun, but from adapting to a new diet plan I'm on that will last 12 weeks and significantly reduces my caloric intake. My body is still adjusting after 5 days. I know that in the long-run this will be a good thing for me, but I'm still adjusting to the initial shock to my body.
I know exercise is supposed to help with energy, but I think I need to give it a few more days before I really take off in that area or my body will certainly rebel. I'm looking to make the changes for the long-run, so a few days of being tired are worth it.
Of course, the gloomy skies outside today aren't helping me feel any more energetic either. Luckily this is a short work week and I took some days off next week. So hopefully I'll get some energy back. And maybe some mental power so I can come up with interesting blog posts, since all I have lately is this lame one.

What plan are you doing? At any rate, I feel your pain. After total disregard for points this weekend, and eating normally today, I feel like I'm starving.
I'm doing a medically supervised plan through Mercy. It's pretty drastic, and some might think it's not healthy, but I think it's healthier than continuing to be overweight with high blood pressure and I need to do something...
Maybe I should make it a blog topic tomorrow and talk about it a little more...
Is it Medifast? Mercy is known for prescribing it.
Be careful and do whatever they say. When you drop your calories below 1200 your body goes into starvation mode and you will feel sick.
Take care of yourself.
Ms_H, thanks for your concern... :)
It's Optifast. I am following it exactly as they say. I haven't been sick or hungry....just tired.
I'll post a bit more about all this tomorrow....and explain my thought process in going down this particular path.
