have more energy

I have a hard time getting motivated to work out everyday, and to eat healthy.

I suffer from chronic organic depression. I know there are some lifestyle changes that will help me. It’s all a matter of getting focused on implementing them.

The Try Sea Kayaking courses aim to give you a taste of the fun, adventure and coastal exploring that is sea kayaking.

All the sessions will take place in Bulloch Harbour unless the weather is more suitable elsewhere.

Included are instruction, insurance and use of kayak, paddle, wetsuit, buoyancy aid, spraydeck and cag. The ratios of instructor/assistant to student will be no more than 4:1.

If you’d like to book, call the office on 01-2760263 or Des on 086 8205627.

Waking up earlier has not been working out for me…

I think I could sleep 15 hour-days. I’ve been totally useless at work, my boss, taking over many responsibilities, thus leaving me with a reasonable workload…

It’s crazy… All I want to do is sleep. I go home and I sleep. I wake up, do a task for 5 minutes then fall asleep. I tell myself, let’s lie down for 10 minutes, but actually sleep for 4 hours…

I seem to remember, back in school, at this time of the year, between Mid-February and June, I would be totally dead and didn’t use to have enough gaz in me left to do just the minimum… Could be a seasonal thing or my own personal cycle…

The other day, I got through workout by taking a shot of expresso! Hehe, funnily enough, it was a blast and ended doing much more than I usually do…

Been off of caffeine for a while, which may also explain the drowsyness…

Anyway, I guess the point is, I should keep monitoring these cycles so I can better remedy them… Caffeeine helps… Bit a sun helps… What else…

I’ve been exercising more which I hope will increase my overall energy level.

The mine & body are so persuasive at early times in the morning.

for the past 2 weeks. Ever since I finished physical therapy I haven’t been back to the gym to exercise. I keep telling myself I’ll go and I never do. I had seen a huge difference in my energy level towards the end of my physical therapy. It had increased quite a bit. Now that I’ve slacked off I can tell it has gone back down some. I am starting to have my afternoon crashes again :( I don’t know what to do, I need someone who will push me to go work out. I need a new plan….

Most people amaze me with their ability to juggle daily living, what with their full-time jobs, children to raise, mortgage to pay, parents to care for, and even the little things, bringing their lunch to work, waking up early enough to have breakfast, work out!

I’m having trouble just handling my small self (and my cat), a reasonable albeit difficult-at-times job and basic tasks like cooking,dishes…

I’m working on having enough energy just to do the minimum! I truly envy those people who seem to have everything under control.

Step 1 I guess is as simple as waking up early to get a a few things done…

I took a combination of supplements yesterday which seemed to give me energy that lasted all day. I took a multivitamin, a B complex, and omega 3 & 6. I didn’t get my afternoon crash that I usually get around 2:00. So I’m hoping this will work everyday! As far as working out, I’ve still been exercising 3x a week and it has gotten a lot easier. I’ve been increasing my weight and resistance slowly.

1 – Reduce my soda intake.

2 – Work out.

3 – Take my multi-vitamin.

4 – Eat less fast food.

5 – Change my sleeping habits.

6 – Incorporate some of the tips from the Energy Addict.
I think these steps actually support each other because I eat out a lot which means I drink a lot of soda. If I eat less fast food that automatically reduces my soda intake. If I working out I won’t want to eat fast food or drink soda.

I’m working on 1, 2, 3, and 5, right now. Taking a multi-vitamin is a pretty simple habit to establish and I am doing a 10 day challenge to get myself in bed by a certain time and go to sleep on purpose (not fall asleep) so that I turn off lights, tv, and computer and get a sound sleep. Also, 10 day challenge to eliminat the morning coke or dr. pepper. I’ve actually got more going at one time than I would like – I was trying to do this one step at a time, but if it all works..then great.
