It amazes me how much my energy level has changed since my late 40's. It didn't really sneak up gradually. It hit me this past year like a a bale of hay tossed out of the loft. Came out of nowhere... knocked the wind out of me...what happened??
I know lots of folks older than me that seem to have endless energy. But then most of them aren't single and in charge of everything that goes on in their household....and I don't know what their home looks like, and maybe they are putting on a facade about how they really feel. Am I supposed to let the housework go when I don't have the oompf to run the vacumn after working all day. And should I grin madly and answer "GREAT" when asked how I am after mowing the lawn after working all day. Am I supposed to feel exhausted when just living a regular schedual? Is feeling this way inevitable? I'm not going to accept that it is.
I have discovered something that does seem to help me. Eating less sugar and white flour. Not only do I sleep better and wake more refreshed, but I don't seem to hit that proverbial wall every day about 3. Oh I still have to pace myself...it isn't the "cure" but it is making a difference.
Having more energy is the first step to feeling better and trimming down. Now if I can solve the puzzle of why I sabatoge myself eating things that I know will affect me later in the day or tomorrow. I think I am going to have to did deeper to get to the bottom of this one.
