I love naps. I love naps so much that lately I feel like I'm playing catch up from when I was a child and used to fake my naps. Since I've converted to Paleo I feel sluggish, tired, cranky, slow, etc. But one thing I haven't felt is hungry (with exception to meal times). I know that a big thing about Paleo is to eliminate your carbs. But I've been taught in Anatomy and Nutrition that when you eliminate your carbs your body does go into shock for about 2-3 weeks because of the lack of carbs. Hence, they say that you need carbs because carbs contain glucose and glucose can produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) which is really one of the powerhouses in your body that makes energy (in the most efficient manner). BOOM. Anatomy lesson for your ass.

So this is probably the reason why my body feels so tired. Or possibly because I'm stressed. My boyfriend is in the Army and he is away at bootcamp. I have never been more than two weeks away from him in SIX YEARS.

Yeah, I know, some may think, "SIX YEARS AND NO ROCK!" Well, let me tell you, "Honey, the time isn't much of an issue for me. Fuck a rock. I want a damn BOULDER!" Jk. Ahhhh... the joys of blogging. It feels good to finally get that out.

Ok, back to the point I wanted to make. Am I doing something wrong since I feel so tired? I eat anywhere from 5-6 meals or snacks a day. I don't do CF (because I don't have that kind of money to pay for it, nor the time). I haven't been working out lately either. I usually run 2-3 times a week but since my daughter has been extra needy with her dad gone, I've been super lenient. I'm thinking my body needs exercise.

Oh yeah, it might also be that I'm weening myself off of coffee. Again. For the 345th time. But seriously now, coffee is my ultimate last resort for caffeine.

Anyone can feel free to share tips or ideas to help me get over this "energy lacking hurdle."
