Day 1 of the challenge; and the "challenge" part is much different than it has been the rest of my adult life. I'm taking a decongestant the kills my appetite, so instead binging on junk, I haven't been eating regularly enough. My stomach doesn't tell me I'm hungry and I haven't been noticing that I need to eat until I'm burnt out and crabby and have no energy. It's been making workouts hard. I'm hoping to get off the decongestant after a doctor appointment today, but for now I'm still on it and my new healthy habits are designed for that:
1) eat a nutritious snack during recess every day (10am on non-school days), so that I am not lethargic by lunch;
2) eat dinner before 6:30 at night,
3) plan an easy-access, no prep snack for after work every day, to give energy for an evening run.
I think that covers the times that lead to my low energy spells.
This will all need to be re-written if I drop the decongestant, because my natural appetite is more than healthy, but these are my habits to start!
