How do YOU feel while dieting?

[tenny]

I am 2 weeks out and I feel like I am in the off season. lol I actually have to keep checking my condition to make sure I am as ready as I thought I was 5 minutes ago.

There is a big difference in forcing your body to get lean vs. coercing it. Of course, there is also a big difference eating fruity pebbles and pancakes every Sunday, as well. Just sayin'.

I always feel pretty good till around the 4 week mark, my appetite becomes ferocious, my sleep is jacked up (lack of sleep), and my workouts are great till I hit the zombie mode point. This year was great, but no matter what, that 4 week out mark always gets me. The leaner and more condition I am, the more damn food I want OR cravings become stupid crazy. I just tell myself, get thru this last bit, hold the condition, tighten up a bit more, and bring my best to stage because I know I will be eating yummy foods soon enough OR more food at least

Funny you mention sleep because usually my sleep is fucked up, too, right around the same point but this year I am sleeping like a baby. Of course, I am doing a fraction of the cardio, too, so I am just not as physically beat up as I have been in the past so I am sure that plays a part.

The last four weeks I have to kick my ass. . . The lack of sleep was an issue, and I began to meditate and notice better sleep. I did not meditate for any reasons just to calm myself and keep myself from going crazy as I kept watching my body. The meditation kept my mind that only awakens at night during the last four weeks from going over and over the same things and what I should and should not do. I think experience helps to calm, thus better sleep.
