I am four days into the zone and I am so grumpy and tired! I'm following the meal plan provided in "A Week in the Zone" religiously (ok, I had a couple extra ounces of wine last night for my evening snack, but other than that I'm doing really well on the program). However, I am super tired, very irritable, and hungry! I have been trying to play around with the snack times, because I go to bed so early, so is it ok to have a mid morning snack between breakfast and lunch?

I haven't played around with "blocks" yet, because honestly it confuses me. But, I'm sticking with the "Week in the Zone" plan so I think I'm doing everything right. But, again I am so exhausted and my poor kids get the brunt of my grumpiness!

Am I doing this right?

If you are doing it along with the book instructions, you are probably doing it right (except for the extra wine, LOL). But, it may mean that this balance is not right for you.

Try to go 4 days straight on the plan, and then if you continue to have difficulty, then we could talk about adjusting your carbs.

Also, check to make sure that you are getting enough blocks per day. If you are really active, then you may need extra block(s).
