Week 8 - Feeling Punk

[Guest guest]

Well, I have begun week eight and I have to say that I no longer have

that " high energy feeling " . Nothing has changed with eating or w/o so

I can't figure out why I feel so crummy. This has been going on for

the last 3-4 weeks. I felt so great when I first started and now I

feel like I am back to my old ways. No energy and the aches and pains

are back.

Any ideas on what gives?

BTW, I am the new poster child for slow losers. It is really really s-

l-o-w for me!

Unless you have a CFS or some other medical condition, it must boil

down to one of four things IMO:

1) your nutrition - post 3 days of menus and let the experts

critique 'em.

2) your workouts - how long they take, your perceived intensity

levels, your form, how heavy you lift, etc. - you can post these too

for the 'sperts.

3) sleep - sleep deprivation a prob for me - need 8-9 hours of zzz

time so the muscles can recover while u sleep

4) stress / emotion levels - of the rest of your life, work, family,

outside activities, etc. - can boost the cortisol and / or adreneline.

REbecca,

This is exaclty how I felt a few weeks ago, when I realized that I

had come a long way and I wasn't going to give up on myself. I kept

plugging along with some behind-the-scenes-help of some great people

here, I stuck with it and am now in week 10:)

Keep you chin up girl! You will get through this, just think to

yourself, 8 weeks down, 4 to go:)
