I was attempting to rise earlier and hit a patch of morning energy failures, I just didn't want to get out of bed. Apart from the occasional night of broken sleep I do pretty well, so I needed some help.
I listened to some health and fitness podcasts and one of the host's says she wakes with a carbohydrate hangover if she has a Hershey's chocolate kiss before bed. I had been nibbling Violet Crumbles so I paid attention.
Last night I had no high carb treats before bed, I had plain yoghurt with a little peanut butter (which was better than expected) and went to bed feeling successful. Even better I had a good day, felt good in the morning and found the thought of having high carb treats not appealing due to ill affects.
I have been feeling good and have lost 18 kilograms, some aches and pains have totally gone and others are less of an issue. I like to feel good and after eating a bit more protein today I am feeling somewhat better, I pay attention as the days go on. I did have rice for lunch, with chicken, and roast lamb for dinner, but no bread or choc chip cookies and certainly no Violet Crumble!
Day 1 of more protein, I feel good and am happy to continue tomorrow!
