This week we have actually been very consistent. We have been to Tanglewood to run and walk (sometimes) 4/5 days this week. We have been eating a lot better and watching what we put in our bodies. While we have been running and walking most days we have also been doing at home workouts to strengthen our muscles. While exercising and fueling our bodies with what we need is good for us and helps us improve in what our goal is, we also need to have a good sleep schedule. Sleep is important because it enables the body to repair and be fit and ready for another day. Getting adequate rest also helps prevent excess weight gain. You need about 8-10 hours of sleep every night. Your sleep schedule and bedtime habits affect your mental sharpness, performance, emotional well-being and energy level. It's best if you can maintain a consistent time for waking and going to bed. We have been working on that. We have all been going to sleep at a normal time and waking up at a normal time. For all of us we have seen changes in our mood and well being. We are more upbeat and feel less fatigue which is a huge change. Now onto our water intake. Coming off of sodas and sweet tea and coffee is hard. You need that caffeine in you to work. We have been doing a good job on our water drinking. We haven’t cut out everything that isn’t water, but we are doing that at a slow pace. Everyday drinking less and less caffeine high drinks. This week we have been consistent in this too. Instead of grabbing a coke, we grabbed an ice cold cup of water. It’s not ideal, but that’s the only way that we are going to be able to cut them off.
