I love when I wake up and feel happy for no reason! It's so rare that it is noticeable--it's a physical sensation! I have a giddy feeling of energy and anticipation that is palpable as nervous energy. I feel a twinge of over-tiredness because I slept around 7 hours instead of my usual 8-8.5, but I don't feel the stark, blurred-grey of fatigue.
I know that it is connected to the exercises and yoga I did yesterday, as well as the last few days of pranayama and meditation. (There is plenty of science to back this up but it is 6:00am in the morning and I don't have time to do research for you because I'm going hiking with new friends! winkwinkwink.) I also feel relief from the pain in my lower back, which I strained on New Year's Eve. Although I haven't lost weight in the last 3 days, I do not feel discouraged: I ate clean yesterday and stuck to 800kcals, and know that as I continue my Nutrition Strategy and Intermittent Fasting, the weight will decrease! Plus, the last two nights, I didn't adhere, even though I was only over by 200-600kcals on those consecutive evenings. What matters is being back on and staying away from sugar and wine! This morning I am going on a short hike with some potential new friends, and I have some busy work to do. Those are good because it gets me out of the house and off my bum! I am grateful for all the above: feeling good physically, feeling happy for no reason, sticking to kthe Fast 800, IF (Intermittent Fasting), hiking, and getting out of the damn house!
