day five: peppy mcpepperson

today i noticed a drastic upswing in my energy levels, as well as the fact that people have been remaking that i've been in a rather excellent mood lately, and it's true!

i never go more than three hours without a cup of coffee, and yet i'm dragging throughout the day as much as someone who only deigns to drink green tea and decaf lattes (you can just imagine what i think about THOSE people). but lately, i have been excited, cheerful, and just generally feel fantastic! the hunger issues have pretty much gone away, and i'm on a much healthier eating schedule, because i'm actually conscious of getting food and protein before i'm stranded somewhere i can't find anything to eat. 

i thought my stomach would kick up more of a fuss about this whole transition, but it's been remarkably quiet recently, which is a gift in and of itself. i remember the switch to vegetarianism being kind of hard to get through, and that i was a little sick for about a solid month. this, though, as been easy, and feels great. 

i attribute this to a lot of things, including eating much less sugar, so there's not as many major crashes after the rush, and not eating as much greasy, heavy foods. 

so in other news, there's a spring in my step and i'm whistling a happy tune. let's see how annoying i can get before the bluebirds appear.
