So, lack of sleep consistently = really bad hangover

So, last week - I fell off the wagon, slid off and slipped, and all the analogies you can think of to basically say, I didnt exercise as regularly as I hoped to nor take the pills regularly. The reason - this big distracting, over worked conference in CLT for the family therapy association. From wednesday of last week till Sunday, I averaged 4 hours of sleep a night and some of those nights, let's say I had more than one drink. Somehow, I feel like I stretched my biological capabilities this past week. On Sunday, I slept early and have been sleeping early. Because of sleep catching, I have not been able to exercise regularly at all. I do have to say, when I was in CLT, i felt better, healthier, and better than ever. Bruce is right. It did increase my sense of accomplishment, mastery in the things I was able to. I hope to get back to it soon. This next week, I shall be back on track.

  1. OK so you had an off week (by choice it seems)now as you say you are "back on track". You also wrote that you didn't take the pills regularly. Has there ever been a connection made between the pills and quality of sleep? Anyway, refocus, get back to your healthy routine and go for it! (That's my 3 cents worth.)

  2. I agree with Daniel. Life happens so it's often hard to be prescriptive in our actions. But acknowledging the set-backs as well as experiencing feeling better in Charlotte are good first steps. So just get back on horse and try again.
