Hiya,
Lately I've been making deliberate choices in changing my lifestyle to better suit what I want. Part of that, especially over the last week or so, has been health-related.
Since I was about 19 or so, I've been thriving on all of about four or five hours of sleep each night, an all-nighter thrown in every couple of weeks for good measure.
Funny thing is, I only really started on the caffeine about a year or so ago. Never really liked coffee or red bull type drinks til then, and certainly didn't need them.
But now, an average day sees me sink something like four long blacks, two lattes, and two cans of V (oh, and about two litres of water. Any redemption there?).
Don't get me wrong. I don't just get the caffeine hit to keep me awake. I enjoy consuming these products. But, I also enjoy drinking a lot of other things that are probably better for me (like, beer
)
So, I'm thinking that it might be about time to cut down on those (except the water, of course) and rely more on natural energy (read: getting fit again) to keep myself moving at a million miles an hour. I used to run ten, sometimes fifteen kilometres a day, five days a week. I reckon I'd struggle with a ten minute jog these days
We've had plenty of threads on the fitness thing lately, so this isn't meant to be another of those. I guess it's more about sharing this new goal, and, finding out what sort of positive changes everyone else might be making, too...?
Cheers
James.
