Tiredness SUCKS!

I am currently knackered. A combo of crappy sleep, not enough sleep, doing too much, training too hard and all the stress of the past couple of weeks has taken its toll a bit! It also means I am making reeeeally crappy food choices because I'm tired and therefore less inclined to care, or worry about consequances, so it's hard to be motivated which then perpetuates into a deeeeelightful vicious cycle of eating nonsense. Not a good advert ! SO. From today, I am pulling it back. I took action last night: a self-imposed social media blackout, stopped working and 'doing' at 9pm, ate a properly cooked, sensible dinner, had a bath, slapped on the old trans-dermal magnesium spray, read last Sunday's Times and was fast asleep by 10pm. Awoke before my alarm at 6:40am feeling refreshed and ready to rock! As a result, have been far more productive today AND have clawed it back food wise. Breakfast - half a lemon in hot water, 2 boiled eggs and 2 slices rye toast Mid-morning - grapes, pineapple and almonds Lunch - falafel, hummus, and a big ol' salad with chilli and coriander 2L water by midday and 3 cups peppermint tea. No idea what dinner will be yet but this afternoon I have a banana and a home-made protein bounceball so I can go workout after work. I can't wait ! Energy levels are soaring!!!! Have a great day people! Lizzie xoxo

Good to see you back on here, Missy. Not that I've not been keeping up with your antics a la Facebook et Twitter, but it's always good to ramble.

By the by, what's rye bread like? I'm conscious that I eat a bit too much bread, and I'm always looking at alternatives ....

Ta muchly! :o)
