The Cranks

[Debszie]

Is the reason i have the major cranks possibly because of the new me im trying to create (bfl , training 6 days a week, eating 6 meals blah blah)?

I dont feel justified in being cranky yet as im only about to finish week 1.

Perhaps its my body adjusting to not having lots of milky bars and fish n chips and the odd glass of wine, and potato chips etc etc. Maybe my body and mind are having a tantrum. Maybe its the essay combined with the burning legs.

Whatever it is, i hate unjustifiably snapping at my daughter (big time)

Do others have any wise words to offer?

It's a big change to your lifestyle so it's probably to be expected that your mood could change.

Are you getting enough sleep?

I stopped getting the cranks after about, two weeks into my new plan. It's definitely your body adjusting to the new food.

Chin up Although I didn't have many ways to combat it (other than leaving the room when I could feel the 'rage' arise), it did eventually pass.

Oh, and it's not something confined to the womens' room... everyone gets the cranks from time to time while the body learns to cope.
