Body Adjustments
It's acually good news this time, I feel great! I am my cheeky, bubbly self again and have plenty of energy.
I think it is so important to try and understand that dieting the way that I have been is very new to my system. When I had felt that the life was being sucked out of me (Lia's words, spot on), I thought this feeling of weakness would never leave me unless I ate more food. I was not going to do that, nooooo way!!
I stuck with my diet and I have now successfully come out the other end with bells on toes lol.
What brought on the lack of energy at such a low point was my diet change, it was reduced further about two weeks ago. It took almost two weeks for my body to adjust to this new diet. I am taking in less calories per day and still exercising the same if not more then before this change took place. Something had to happen I guess. And my body was telling me it needs to rest, it needs to go through this process to adjust to my new dietery intake.
So I think im all adjusted now :-) I feel fabulous and ready to move on.
So the whole point of me posting this up here is for two very important reasons.
1: I don't want to scare anyone off lol. You do recover from it and when you do, it's like being reborn. And, this is how it effected ME, it may not do the same to you.
2: Another important reason for me putting this out there is for my own reference. If I decide to compete and I go through this energy drop again, I know I can come back here and see for myself that I will get over it and come out on top.
Today's session at the gym was smashing! I enjoyed training my shoulders and triceps today. I had a PB on tricep pushdowns today too.
Oh and another feel good thing happened today. I approached a lady at the gym to see if she going to watch the Girl show (comps) next Saturday. She said she might go and asked me if I was entering. lol I can't believe what brought that on, but it felt good being asked anyway.
A diet change is just great, especially after you have been on the other one for so long.
*Note: I recently lost my old blog, don't know where it went, maybe to blog heaven? But I have created a new one today.
