I did the first week of LL earlier in the year and lost 13lbs. Left for reasons I won't bore you with, knowing I'd return later in the year to give it another go. I'm now keeping the promise I made to myself to make a difference to my body and health by the end of 2007 and am on day 2 of round 2!
Even by just the second day I am starting to experience the best part that I remembered from my first week 6 months ago. It feels like I'm slowly emerging from a semi-drugged state and I know it's the lifting of the carbohydrate cloud that I've allowed to fog my brain for so long.
Mu usual day is drag myself out of bed, go to work, battle the traffic home, slump in front of the TV, snack all night on and off. Today I am at home on a day's holiday and have just been in the shower. Rather than thinking along the lines of what video can I watch, what can I make for lunch - I'm finding myself thinking along altogether more active lines. Should I take the dogs for a walk, should I pop down to Argos to pick up that thing I've been wanting, should I try out the new vac?
My brain just somehow feels more up it - and my body isn't making its usual protests in response. The difference isn't down to weightloss cause it's only day 2 - it must be down to a different chemistry happening in my body and the carb cloud floating away.
I've had a headache or two, which must be the withdrawal side - but the greater sharpness is happening even faster than last time. Makes it all very worthwhile so far.
Now, as they say, I just need to get organised and I'll be dangerous!
