morning sunshine

can't seem to get enough sleep! Going from a night schedule to a day schedule screws you up enough, but when family/friends are constantly planning things early it makes it even worse. And by early for me I mean noon, do people not realize that is their 2 in the morning for me!

Pretty sure I've explained things to them but it still makes it hard to understand for most. Normal people may go to bed at 10 pm but I normally go to bed at 8 am, so planning events that early in the afternoon is like me planning my birthday party for 3 am, hey 3 am is normal dinner time for me. While you may have the rule "don't eat after 7pm", I have the rule "don't eat after 5am"....see what I'm saying. You may not function well before 8am, that's fine, but keep in mind I don't function well before 4pm.

Oh and if I get stuck working overtime until 11am, forget about it, I'm useless that whole day.

As for working out, my morning workout comes around 4pm(remember I function best then). Most retired people join me at the gym because they are the only ones not busy at that time, I call them "my people". If for some unknown reason I can't workout at 4, I have found the only other good time to go is 8pm, when all normal people are settling down and nothing but me a few older folks and some "juice heads" are there. This works for me. I'm pretty sure if I went back to an 8-5 job I'd loose it. Those working family types are not who I like to be around when I work out, give me a geriatric or juicer over housewife trying to "do it all" any day.

motivation? Where are you???!

trying to start again is sooooo hard, and it's not really "starting again" but pumping my motivation back to where it was.

These past couple week my sleep has been royally screwed up and when I don't get enough sleep I tend to eat HORRIBLY! So I need to work on a balance for those days I can't get adequate sleep.
