I've been feeling like I've pushed myself to the extreme this summer and I can't figure out if thats good or not. I went to the gym for a reassessment this morning and got a body fat % calculated. It came back at 17.4%. I started off at 22%. Thats quite a big loss, even for me. The gym lady said it wasn't that accurate and could be off. I'm not sure if I'm proud or a little horrified?
Anyway, back to Lent. I'm trying to give up sugar of all things. I read a blog about it, then read a book (Sweet Poison, excellent read)And not just the processed stuff, ALL OF IT. Like cutting way back on fruit and all my juiced goodness. Its a little miserable. I've been attempting if for a while now and today I'm feeling it the worst. Low grade continual headache, tired sore eyes, twitchyness and a stuffy nose. All stuff I was warned about but I thought for some reason I would be sweet as I don't have much processed sugar? Argh, this will teach me.
It could be the above symptoms which are making me reconsider if its all worth it. I miss cookies. Or just the thought of being able to eat them.
Which bring me to the thought that this is what Lent really is all about? Denial. Damn it.
sounds a bit extreme to me.
