Day 2: The Essentials

Sleep and Water

Two things I never get enough of.

My only 2 goals for the next month (besides staying on my schedule) are to:

1.  Get enough sleep

2.  Drink enough water.

I need about 9 hours of quality sleep to rock a full day to capacity.

It's super tiring hauling around what is essentially the weight of a second person.  That's stings just to say it out loud but it's not like I can hide it.  I just need to accept it and change it.

I also need Melatonin to get a deeper sleep so I don't toss and turn. 

I have a FitBit Flex

FitBit

I highly recommend it.  I've used mine off and on since February.  It records your movement while sleeping and when I take Melatonin I have sleep qualities in the high 90's (%).  I also feel way better.

Goal #1: Sleep enough for me.

*Go to bed @ 9pm and wake up at 6am

*Take 2 Melatonin 15-20 min. before bed

*Do not take phone or Ipad to bedroom

Sorry I'm not responding to texts or calls after 9 :)

Now on to water.  I filled this bad boy with water (2 gallons) add: 1 big cucumber sliced and 1 lemon sliced.

Goal #2: Drink a little under 1/2 of this each day.

1/2 = 1 gallon = 16 cups=128 ounces

1/2 my body weight is 125 (see another person blah!)

So that is drinking 1/2 my body weight in ounces.

(while taking into account what I get from food/sweating out while working out)

To accomplish this I must......

Oh I can't say it..........

I must stop drinking coffee.

Grumpy Cat Mug

But I can still drink tea from it.  Maybe convert my coffee maker into a green tea maker?

 

I'll just stick with my homemade Goonies water jar.....

Excuse me while I use the.....
