5th week
Ok ladies and gents…..time to check in.
Been following plan daily at 20-25 carbs per. Water and supplements
great, fitday tells me I am good in most all numbers, percentages,
vitamins, etc….. Exercise is so so. I did manage to slip on purpose
(nothing is accidental for me) with a few of those laxative acting
chocolates last weekend. Big deal. 
So far to date from Jan. 1….10
pound loss.
Here is the scoop…..I am tired, beat down to the ground tired. My
exercise is lacking, that is a given first and foremost. I have no
willpower, no umph, no energy, just wanna sit around. During the middle
of the day (11-3) I just wanna sleep. What is going on in your opinions.
Who here is going thru this? Why is this happening? I just had recent
blood work done (summer/fall) and all numbers there were A OK. I am
about ready to either get some more bloodwork done OR ask the doctor for
some pep pills! Help and thank you,

Hey Shari!
You are doing better than me - since Jan 3 until Monday, I have lost 7
pounds (10 1/2 if you count my up and down during week 3). I averaged 1385
calories a day (though I try hard every 3 or 4 days to have a -for me- high
calorie day), 14 net carbs a day, been doing all my supplements, much better
than average on liquids, yadda yadda. Last week I felt the same way you did
- dog tired. I have realized that I have this hormonal thing, and a week
before TOM, I get dog tired. Can yours be hormones?? Also, have you ever
checked your temp? I was also struggling with my thyroid (low body temp is
how I monitor it). If your temp is down, NOTHING gives you energy. NOTHING.
I would take 10 a month all day long … that’s 50 pounds by June 1,
right??? (and no saggy skin from drastic losses). I’ll gladly take that!!
It’s all in the long-term perspective, right?!
