Yesterday was my first day of eating right, from my POV. Dinner was a veggie and shrimp stew, followed by a quick "30-day Shred" workout from Jiliane Michaels, and then some yogurt with cocoa. Maybe the cocoa was a bad idea, because I had some trouble getting to sleep. Will avoid for future.
On a side note, I see I have sleep issues, in the sense that I go to sleep quite late and tired, then I fall asleep really hard, then I wake up at any noise and of course I wake up still tired. One of the many reasons I added workouts to my schedule is to feel tired enough to fall asleep. Until now, no signs of it happening, hope it gets better soon.

Veggie and shrimp stew, sounds good. I find caffeine after about 3 pm keeps me awake, also exercising later than 6:30 does the same. I use an herb capsule valerian sometimes for sleep. Took them last night after little sleep the night before no side affects but you want to have at least 7 hours to sleep, more is better.

The stew was something that came to me while cooking it, and turned out pretty well. It has the ingredients found at my "dinner" section of yesterday, steam the veggies and shrimp, add spices (I put curry, turmeric and ginger) and that's pretty much it. I'll make the same stew tonight, minus the salt. I guess the shrimp got enough salt in already ;)
I do my workout at about 7:30-8 according to my schedule, and go to bed at 11-12. Do you think it might still affect that far away?

Working out too late (or too close to bedtime) can actually make it harder to go to sleep, due to all the adrenaline, and endorphins flooding your body. Try working out earlier in the evening and try something relaxing closer to bedtime.... like bubble bath, reading, yoga, or mediation. Hope this helps!

I have the same issue, workout right after work. If it's much later I cannot get to sleep. Messes me up if I have anything I need to do after work.

I reach home from work at about 6 PM, by the time I cook dinner, eat and then wait for it to settle, it gets to around 8 PM. I'm thinking now to have a snack after work, then work out, then have the dinner, to make sure I'm not taking my chances anymore. Will see how this goes from next week :) Thank you for the advice, everybody!

Deb_N, thank you, doing my best as I was really shocked when I did my first workout and it killed me... whilst a long time ago, that workout would have never raised an issue.
