so tired after exercise
this is NORMAL when you first start your exercise.
-- read and post daily, it works! rosie http://www.moveon.org/ we face fear many times in life. sometimes it's an inner voice, warning us of danger. fear is an emotion indispensable for survival. ................................hannah arendt "Yorkshire Rose" wrote in message ... I've been doing the Atkins now for four months and have lost 31lbs so far. Well according to Dr Atkins book I haven't been doing it properly because I haven't been exercising. Apart from a couple of feeble efforts on the exercise bike. (I get really bored with that) So this week I thought I'd better start an exercise programme of some sort, to help me along, so decided to go swimming. I managed 12 lengths on Tuesday and 20 on Thursday and felt fine when I doing that, didn't feel I'd pushed myself too hard. My problem is later in the afternoon, both days I felt dreadful! I've experienced this problem before...on low fat diets, where I feel fine during the exercise, but later have to sleep the afternoon. Its as if my body can only use so much energy and if I try to use more, it has to slow down somewhere else to make up for it. The other thing I find, is that instead of experiencing an endorphin high, I feel really depressed. Can you folks shed any light on what is happening, and why? Typical menu Breakfast 2 fried eggs fried in butter Lunch Tuna or cheese salad with a spoonful of mayo Evening Chicken breast or pork chop with either more salad or broccoli, cauliflower or cabbage Handful of almonds couple of ounces of cheese to snack on occasionally I have 2 or 3 ounces of strawberries sweetened with splenda and with a couple ot tablespoons of double cream 2 cups of decaff coffee, black no sugar 2 litres of water -- Yorkshire Rose 270/239/200(interim goal) Started Atkins 25th May 2003 |
