Well, not to that extent, no. It would have to be a monumental moment for me to clean the knobs. LOL!!
Seriously, I know what you mean on a lesser extent, L.
Just last night I noticed that I was shining the kitchen, washing dishes, straightening the great room ... all about an hour before bed. I just stopped and smiled. Before I started NS and added exercise this would have NEVER happened. I would be camped out on the couch for several hours before bed. Exhausted .. absolutely zero motivation, energy, desire.
I know that it has changed drastically for me.0 -

I mow the lawn weekly. Last year 4 times all year. I have tons of energy. Having reached a level of maturity to which wisdom is great, I'm probably not going to wash my door knobs. Golf Clubs yes, door knob no. One of the first things I noticed near the beginning was a new found energy. The skinner I get the more energy I have.0

I used to take a daily b12 supplement for energy before NS.....now I only take milk thistle for liver cleansing and d3 for the magnesium....energy level is higher than when I was supplementing.....no more 10 pills a day....I thought it was the increased veg.....0

Some days I have more energy than others, but definitely more energy since losing weight and being on NS. I haven't reached the point of washing door knobs yet. Always lots to do around here both indoors and out-of-doors, so I just keep moving when I can. With all this rain and dampness my knees have been protesting a lot. Still, I have never let that stop me. I'm thinking about sucking it up and doing a lot of filing today. It rained again this morning. I have a load of laundry in the washer. I'll get busy once I put things in the dryer. I only own two bras (others don't fit anymore) and both are dirty so I'm not getting dressed until later. I know, I know, TMI!

HAHAHA. Had to giggle. Me, too, no refined dressing for me either. The Summer is mine to own and do what I want to do. I'm lucky I know. But, being semi-retired, I can pick and choose.

I just took a hand vac and vacuumed and scrubbed every baseboard in the house. Then I cleaned all the windows. I took all the food out of the pantry and washed all the shelves. I swept and mopped all the rooms with hardwood. I scrubbed walls and doors. Something is definitely going on!0

Every bit of housework is a workout to me. You're doing a great job! Keep it up. I hope your knees feel better. Enjoy your weekend!

I have washed and polished doorknobs before - once when moving out of military housing, and also when moving into the house I live in now. OCD in my case, not increased energy. But in general, yes, I have more energy since losing weight. But I also still have insomnia. Maybe I should start on the doorknobs since I can't sleep!0

Sleeping is a tough one, I never had issues with sleeping until the last few years. I remember you do, and I really pray that this will change for you. I used to really enjoy sleeping and now I get up so early and wake up several times a night, it drives me crazy. Of course I lay there, and don't get up and clean HA!
