Well, I am still a bit congested, but I am noticing my mental clarity is starting to kick in. I am definitely loving the mental acuity, but I have been drained in energy. This may be due to several things:
- my body hasn't fully recovered from the bug
- my body is responding to the increased stress and negativity in our house (yup)
- my body is recovering in some way that I am not fully aware
- there may be gaps in my nutrition and I need to supplement (very possible)
- my body is experiencing retox from cutting out the sugar and crap (yup)
I would say stress is a major factor. I spoke with a friend today and realized that I have a few things to work through in our very intense situation, but at the same time, focusing on the needs and betterment of others will be the best remedy in getting out of my own head. I am helping her with her nutrition and weight loss. She is resistant to working out because of fear of pain. She doesn't trust her body, so I am helping her to reestablish that relationship with herself again.
I ate many sunflower seeds today and snacked on turkey and raw sweet potatoes. I tried carrots, but it felt empty and not very filling. I need more green stuff in the house, so hopefully I can get to the store to get some stocked up for next week of the MAP and the start of waving.
I had a more consistent jog when I went to get the kids from school (or running away from the house). Realized that my feet were in a lot of pain. AHA! My body is so smart :) I will rest and let them heal.
