Today is Sunday and normally I thoroughly enjoy Sundays, but today is different. I feel weak, tired and grumpy. I have no motivation or energy. I have been so irritable and short with Fisher and Cj. Cj has been outside working on the fence for the garden almost all day. When I took the kids out to see what he's been up to, he was disappointed that I'm not more excited about the fence. To be honest, I'm not sure how much excitement I could must up for a fence even on a good day.
So, back to the grumpy day thing. I honestly thought that giving up sugar would prevent me from having days like this. I blamed sugar for my low energy level and bad moods. Now I'm left to wonder why I feel so down in the dumps. Of course, today I'm craving sugar. So, like Oprah always says, I have to wonder what I am really hungry for today. When I ask myself that question, a few things come to mind. I feel hungry for fulfillment, more energy, more sleep and "me" time. I feel like I've had a lot more fulfillment in my life lately though. I took a vegetarian cooking class on Monday. It was so incredible to get away for a few hours to just spend some time on me. I think that covers the me time and fulfillment for the week. I'm also taking an exercise class on Saturday mornings. I was really dragging yesterday morning but I made myself go anyway and was glad I did. I guess I really think the reason I am craving sugar/processed food is that I feel so tired and listless that I feel like it will give me quick energy. Perhaps I am just now experiencing some withdrawl symptoms. Or maybe just the lack of sleep is making me feel so tired.
Every Sunday, I am going to write a goal for the week. Hopefully, this will help keep me focused on my health and well-being goals.
GOAL: Drink 2L of water or tea per day.
