1. Eat as little of refined/added sugars in your diet.
2. Maintain a proper sleep cycle. I found that, if I go to sleep late all the time, such as at 2 am…even if I get 8-9 hrs of sleep that night, I’ll still feel tired.
3. Exercise.
4. Eliminate energy-draining behaviors such as: procrastinating, watching mindless TV, wasting time for hours online…

What does it mean to be “in shape”? It’s pretty subjective. For one person it may mean being able to walk up 5 flights of stairs, for another, it may mean doing a 10K marathon or cranking out 50 push-ups.
Before I outline any specific fitness goals (you know, stuff with definite numbers and such), I’d like to take this month to simply get into a daily exercise habit—setting aside 30 mins or so for simple cardio, strength, and flexibility training.
Once I’m there, I’ll start setting further goals, like how many bears I intend to beat in arm-wrestling or how fast I intend to swim across the English Channel. One step at a time…
My lack of aquatic abilities is a great source of mockery that my friends love to take advantage of…”whaaat?? you can’t swim??? what’s wrong with you???”
.....looks like it’s time to find a community pool and sign up for some classes.
