Okay, now that I got your attention. :D
I really want to talk about the other bedtime activity, sleep.
I used to be wired, couldn't sleep, would be up to 12, 1 whatever, until I passed out.
Now, I get tired at a reasonable time, usually around 10 or 11 and I sleep until 6 as long as the cats and dogs leave me alone.
Why, well it is not giving up caffeine, because I stopped giving it up and am drinking it again.
I think it is my body getting into a balance, a balance that I have never known before.
When I wake up I am awake, I don't feel a desire to go back to sleep, not saying that some weekends I don't walk the dogs and crawl back into bed to warm up.
I read up on a MS diet and it has the same basic pretenses of what I have been doing, except it also restricts red meat and food allergens, which can tack some time to figure out.
Do I believe I will be dancing the mamba because of my lifestyle change? No.
Do I hope I will lead a longer life and be functional when my daughters decide to get married, have children? I hope so.
More and more I am seeing things in print and on TV and in movies that indicate that Americans are starting to wake up to the fact that we are poisoning ourselves.
We need to get back to food being something to live for, be proud of what you put in your body and the effort it took you to make it.
TV dinners were no meant to be a lifestyle and fast food has become a daily habit.
Lets not forget the beverages, monster, now, rockstar, 24 oz mocha caramel frappacinos with extra sugar.
OMG! what are we doing? Do you really need all that caffeine and sugar? I hope not. Lets remember too that we are role models, our children see you doing this on a daily basis, you can bet they will be too.
You cannot be shocked if you smoke and your kid smokes, if you drink soda all day your kid will too, if you eat crap your kid will too.
The good new is if you eat well, they will too.
Well, I am ready to start slowing down for bed, get my 7 hours in so I can function well tomorrow.
Not only is the daily trip to starbucks causing you health issues, it is costing you a butt load of money that you could be spending on organic veggies or things to bring you and the family togeth
Sleep daily.
