Sweet Sleep & A Dash of Lime

It has taken about two weeks to change my sleeping patterns. I've always been a night owl. But in order not to want to sleep at my desk whilst at work, or become a complete grump. The owl is dead!

I like starting my day with some exercise, on my way to work I know that my workout for the day is done, and if I want I can go back for more. It adds a bit of spring to my step, and for the most part I'll go back for a swim in the afternoon, just because I like to close off my day like that too.

It means that I am usually tucked up in bed by 9.30! I'm am hoping as the months go by I can push it to a more reasonable hour of 10, but we'll see how I go. One morning during the week, I do sleep in an extra half hour, and just go either in the afternoon or at lunch and in the afternoon. It gets me revived for the weekend, well at least it has so far. Early days, I know. But for someone who always thought it would be late nights, no more!

And the lime? Sick of balsamic vinegar in your salad, or just want to try something new. Add lime juice as your dressing, nothing else. A friend put me on to it, and well, it great!

Are you doing a weight loss program or just your own thing??

You're back! Or, rather, I'm back!!

Love the lime tip. I never thought of it but it makes perfect sense. And you might find the opposite on the sleep end...that you go to bed earlier and earlier instead of later. That's what happens to me.
