Day 4
I am struggling.I am starting to feel REALLY bloody hungry!
As I am doing optifast for breaky & lunch, I think I need a bit more food, so aside from a few extra pieces of fruit, I'm adding some raw veggies (carrot & cucumber) with maybe a tablespoon or 2 of salsa.
I am also feeling really lethargic & tired. I take my duromine at about 0630 am & I do get a spurt of energy for a few hours, then I crash & feel rubbish!
I have really upped my exercise, so I am hoping the tiredness & sluggishness will soon pass & is just the result of my body getting used to the extra activity! I am soldiering on & not letting the tiredness deter me, but I have to be honest; sometimes that 6 kilometre walk can be a chore!
I'm noticing a bit of a headache, which is slightly annoying. I am super proud of myself though, as for the last 4 days since the beginning of my journey I have eaten NO JUNK FOOD!!!!! Whatsoever! None! Now, prior to commencing duro, I would indulge in chips, lollies, biscuits, chocolate, fast food, packaged food etc etc etc, so I am telling myself the slight headache is my body's way of getting used to having no crap food.
Anyway, apologies for the rant. Just having an ordinary day. But, I keep telling myself the reward will be worth it! Day by day. This has to work for me, because I'm all out of options.
