Distracted

Classes started back up today.  It's going to be an intense schedule.  I worry about my ability to concentrate when I seem so distracted by thoughts of food right now.  Ridiculous...and frustrating.

I took a nap after work.  My energy level is not good.  Will it continue to deteriorate or is this just a phase of the fast?  I'm seriously thinking about adding one fresh fruit or vegetable per day.  Maybe that would be enough to pep up my energy.  I'll give it a little more time and see what my blood work indicates.

Tonight I went to the gym to get in a workout.  The Arc Trainer was definitely tougher than usual but I stuck it out for 50 minutes.  I'm hoping that regular exercise will help with my energy.

It seems to me that I am at a critical stage in this journey.  Either I've got to figure out how to get past the constant hunger (and thoughts of food) or I will not be able to continue.  I know I've got to get out of my own head but that is much easier said than done when your body's needs (and wants) are so persistent and severe.  And there is no end in sight.

Suggestions are appreciated.  Prayers are needed.
