Lethargy Makes Me Lethargic


Today has sucked. Plain and simple. I am so tired and feel so worn down, that I don't want to get my lazy butt up off the couch. I could have stayed in bed all day if it weren't for those pesky kids of mine. And, for me, it seems that the more tired I am, the more I want to eat. I just wanted to eat junk all day. I am pretty sure I stayed below my limit of 20 grams of carbs, but I am not 100% sure.

I am not sure how much longer I can deal with this lethargy. I had little energy to begin with, but now I have ZERO. I really want to start a workout routine tomorrow, and that has been my goal since I started this diet, but how can I work out when I can barely get out of bed? I wonder if this is something else that other Atkins dieters have to deal with. I was on the Atkins website today, and a perky, skinny Courtney Thorne-Smith was there telling me how easy the diet is and how I will 'actually feel more energetic after starting the Atkins diet'. I wanted to kill her. It's not that easy and I feel the opposite of energetic!

I am still hopeful, and I am going to continue with this diet. Maybe after a few more days I will get my energy back, but if I don't, I am not sure what I will do. Yes, I want to be thin and healthy, but do I have to be a zombie for as long as it takes me to achieve my goal??? No thanks.

So, I guess we'll see.
