If you're happy and you know it clap your hands
So I'm... 10 days into my new lifestyle and thought now would be a good time to look at how I feel, not just what I'm doing.
I have more energy, my skin is better, I'm not struggling to get out of bed in the mornings. I'm in a brilliant mood, and feel just fantastic. I am literally glowing!
Weirdly I have more confidence, I'm happier in myself, and I no longer crave sugar or have severe hunger pangs.
My weight is dropping, and I'm now below my 2012 start-weight and have every hope it's going to keep going if I do.
Exercise is starting to feel easier, and I feel exponentially fitter. Normally when I run 5km it hurts from metre 1 right through to metre 5,000 and it's just one big long hard slog to get to the end - today I felt *good* during my run. I stopped noticing the time so much, and just enjoyed it. I was comfortable pretty much up until the last 750m, which is really where it started hurting, but that's pretty amazing in my world! I finished a 60 minute PT session yesterday (cardio and strength circuit) and even though it was hard work and I was dripping sweat *everywhere* I was literally just like "let's go again".
I'm starting to feel like I can *do* things again, that I don't have to be governed by how exhausted I am or how little energy I have left.
It is like someone switched a light on and there's the me that's been missing all these years stepping out into the brightness.
I started this hoping and praying that CM would have the answer. I never dared imagine that the benefits would be this far reaching, and this FAST. I spoke to my mum earlier in the week about all the changes I was having to make (she recommended CM to me), and she was saying "oh in a couple of months you'll be feeling better" but it's not months! It's days. Literally days. The mere possibility that actually this is only the beginning, and in a couple of months I might feel even better? BRING IT.
