It’s been an interesting couple of days.
I woke up yesterday feeling alarming good. I was absolutely euphoric. I couldn’t get my mind to settle down, but I didn’t really want to either. I was filled with mental energy, and while I was still unable to do everything I would like to physically, I was just bursting with energy. At a certain point, I became concerned. It’s weird to be concerned by feeling good, but it didn’t feel right either. Around 9pm, I went from hyper to sleep almost immediately and slept well through the night.
Today, I’ve felt fantastic, but a little bit like my body had gone through something. It’s almost like I had worked out all day. I do wonder if I was on the verge of a migraine and never quite felt it. That could explain the euphoria and the feeling I had today. Still, I can’t help wonder if it isn’t the changes I’ve made in the last 12 days. I’ve been keeping my calories down, and I’ve even had trouble eating up to 1200. I have read that fasting can lead to some feelings of euphoria as your body enters ketosis. I don’t really know.
Regardless, I’m glad that the high of yesterday didn’t result in an extreme swing today. I still feel great. Not in an unsettling way, but everything feels good right now.
I do intend to discuss the plan I’m doing. I’ll outline everything with sources soon. I’m not embarking on a plan of my own creation. I’ll also discuss other aspects of my diet, including my seven years of veganism, the ten years of vegetarianism that preceded it, and the years I spent as a flexitarian. Maybe that won’t be very interesting, but I think it informs a lot of what I’m doing with my weight loss plan.
