I had a very strange day today. I woke up but was still tired so after making family breakfasts and lunches I went back to sleep for a while. Not the strange part yet. At my aerobic dance class I ran out of gas completely. I think I had completely depleted my carb stores and that was such a strange feeling. I am only on day four of the first two weeks but I have been very on program with no lapses. At the grocery store I got a Lara bar, which I don’t think I’m supposed to have but it only had cashews and dates and I thought I needed it. I also got a black bean soup and after getting home and having that I felt fine. I always take a nap in the afternoon and I am concerned about that. I sleep long enough at night to not need a nap every day. It was funny that I did not take a nap yesterday afternoon nor the day before and today almost made it through the afternoon but at 5ish I succumbed. I think today was the day the new eating regime hit me. My body was in shock. I do hope that I am over the initial hurdle now and that I will start to gain energy.

Anyone else have this reaction early in the program where your body seemed to run out of gas? I did look up what foods have the most carbs other than grains, which I am not allowed to have since I am on the Advanced program and got some good sources. I would have thought I was eating enough nuts to keep myself fueled but I don’t know.
