Energy

Energy... It is amazing to me. When I was on the Bernstein Diet I had NO energy, I was so cranky and moody and really had no energy. I would be exhausted after work and my job is not that hard. Not to mention working out was out of the question, I had to drink caffeine just to function.

Now what has it been just under 2 weeks since I ended that diet and my weight is continuing to come off, I'm allowed to eat things like pasta again and I feel great! I actually have energy again, I can work out or even just go for a walk without feeling like I am going to faint. Even my blood pressure is back to normal, it was low while I was on the diet. All I can say is this feels good. We really can have it all. (in moderation anyhow)

First Night Out and Foodmares

Wow so I just woke up from my first food nightmare. It may have been because last night I went out for the first time in months and had a beer (which as I side note has 150 calories) and split some lovely fish stew and had a few pomme frites. Anyhow I don't know if it was because I had gone out and was not feeling guilty for enjoying myself at all or if it was unrelated but this is what I dreamt. I dreamt that I started eating sugar again, you know that refined crap they put in everything, anyway I was eating it and I couldn't stop eating it. In the dream I remember thinking "I just should never have started again my body can't handle sugar" as I lent over 3 different cakes and devoured them all. It was horrible, I couldn't stop! In my dream my addiction was soo severe. Anyway I woke up and assured myself that no I will not start eating sugar again, no way this freedom from it is to great.

I love being sugar free!
