Low Energy Out of Gas?

I don't know what happened last night but ever since I crossed past 10,000 steps I felt tired. I remembered feeling it when I was doing steps while watching Johnnie at the sauna getting warm. By the time we went home I was feeling tingling in the back of my head and feeling even more tired. Mind you I did those 4 exercises at 12 reps each 3 sets. That's a total of 144 reps. In addition to 11,000 steps. I guess I was supposed to tire after it all. And I sure did feel it. Of course when you do feel tired, the solution is to get some rest. And then of course I was still listening to morphic fields throughout the day. And so YES I felt it today. Tired and all, I still made my way downtown to the FRB right after I dropped off Johnnie at camp. That's because I felt the urgency of getting the A/V stuff done at the Founder's Room and I decided to measure the space myself so I could make a good decision on which system to purchase. I ended up spending the entire morning at the FRB. I wanted to walk to 7th Street to get lunch actually. But then a wave of low-level fatigue hit me on the walk there. And in fact, I felt like I had a hypoglycemic attack like back in the day when I would experience a sugar crash. How could that be? I had had minimal sugar all this time. All these months. Maybe all the physical activity took their toll? I detoured to Whole Foods on 8th and got myself some fish and some rice and fruit and a salad. And coconut water to see if it would affect the hypoglycemic effect. Eventually it did but not quickly. I drove home but I still felt pretty strange. Like there was a weight dragging on me. And still I tried to do my steps. How can I not? I had been doing at least 10,000+ steps for years, 11,000+ steps for more than a year. It's like part of my daily rhythm. But is that daily rhythm catching up to me? Or is me energy body depleted and needing a boost of some sort? I tried to take a nap mid-afternoon but I couldn't. There was too much going on in my head. Instead I was able to watch the Season Finale of Obi-Wan Kenobi. And it did not disappoint. Of course there had to be another one-on-one mano-a-mano battle between Obi-Wan and Darth Vader. And of course Obi-wan would win this one re-discovering his strength simply by focusing on those he cared about. There is a lesson in that I think. Of course there had to be connections to A New Hope the very VERY first Star Wars movie. Young Leia and Young Luke. I thought about my own youngling of course, who is younger than the portrayed Luke and Leia. How cool must it be to have all his life ahead of him and all he cares about in the here and now is making some toys and sinking baskets. As it should be. I picked him up at 4 PM, made him eat some quesadillas from El Pollo Loco. I knew he hadn't eaten much of whatever I packed for him. I knew we would be doing Spanish class at Lisa's office and we are likely to wait for her until well past 6 PM to eat. Which is why I made him eat a quesadilla. And why I ate the other piece as well, even though it is a flour tortilla and cheese, well outside of my current eating patterns. I could stand that for a night I think. Besides, maybe the extra carbs would help the all-of-a-sudden hypoglycemic patterns. I was still a bit tired. But I took Johnnie to Lisa's office, he did his Spanish class and impressed us all that he can actually carry on conversations now. Still at elementary level mind you, but it's still a Spanish conversation.  The surprise tonight was that Lisa actually got done and we were off and out of her office by 6 PM. Why you might ask? Because she is going for a walk with Melissa at 7:30 PM that's why. It couldn't possibly be about us right? We walked to Daikokuya for dinner and Johnnie had his ramen and we had the toppings, and the salmon sashimi, AND a ribeye steak salad. Yes I ate beef too. Hey, if I'm going to break my protocol tonight, might as well go all out right? Still we managed to.. in Lisa's words ... enjoy each other's company. And when we got to my car it felt like routine again. It was good to have a tension-less time with Lisa and I think perhaps those fields did have something to do with that.  Johnnie and I went home, took the dog out for a walk, Johnnie put on his Pokemon videos. I didn't do any more fields tonight. I figured I'd give my physical body a break. And although I let Johnnie watch longer than usual, he was still out like a light by 9:30 PM. I didn't need much more prodding to go to sleep myself. And when I woke up at midnight, I realized I had already had 2+ hours of sleep in. THERE was my afternoon nap LOL. At least I could go back to sleep again. Rest was much needed. And much appreciated.
