Intermittent Fasting: Day 22

Today was a horrible day.  Not because of anything outside of my body, but it was all in my mind and body.  I am not sure what happened to get me to feel the way I did today, but it was not good.  

I woke up at 5:45am and went back to sleep.  This was probably my first mistake.  I didn't actually wake up until about 815am and I felt completely groggy, tired, as if I could sleep another few hours.

I had ZERO motivation, enthusiasm, etc. for the day.  In fact, I felt very negative, like I just wanted to sit in front of a TV and do nothing all day.   This is not normal behavior for me.  Especially on a Sunday, my "get shit" done day.  

I tried to do laundry and clean up the house.  But the more I tried, the more I felt tired.  I finally go to the point where I needed to eat, so at 10:50am I made my not so typical lunch, and headed to my TV room.  I watched just over an hour of TV and made my way downstairs.  I tried to do more laundry, and I just couldn't do it - mentally or physically.  

About 1:15pm, my husband finally told me to try and take a nap.  So I did.  I slept on and off until 3pm.  When I initially woke up, I felt about the same.  But I got started in cooking and moving around, and I actually started to feel better.  

So my funk eventually went away as my son and I cooked for 3 hours for the Superbowl.
