I don't know what it is but I haven't had any kind of energy lately. It seems like I am always tired. There are really only two times in the day that I feel awake and full of energy: between 10AM and about 3PM and then after 8PM. Otherwise I feel like I am in a constant state of drowsiness. I have especially been having a hard time getting motivated go to CrossFit. Even when I do go, I feel bogged down, like I can't even push myself half as hard as I used to. Something needs to change...
One thing that has contributed to this slump was some kind of bug I had for about 3-4 weeks. I had a terrible sore throat for a little over two weeks that progressed into a sore throat and cough that finally went away a few days ago. I don't know what it was but a couple people in my office had the same thing.
I can also attribute much of my lack of energy to my diet and lifestyle. It seems every weekend I have another reason to binge drink. Then I eat like crap and lounge around to recover. Then I skip going shopping for healthy food cause I am too tired. So the next couple days I eat out. The next thing I know, its the weekend again there's another wedding, bachelor party, work party or holiday that calls for excessive drinking. The worst part is, I don't see it ending any time soon. Every weekend in August has something on either Friday, Saturday or both...
Don't get me wrong, it's a lot of fun and I don't regret any of it. But it is starting to take more of a toll on me and it's time to try to get back on some kind of diet plan. I went to the grocery store last night for the first time in 3 weeks I ate pretty well today. Yay!! I also need to work on determining what I can do to keep full of energy all throughout the day and I supposed that has a lot to do with what and when I eat. Any tips?
But enough of the depressing talk, here's some pics some of my favorite times of the summer so far!!
