How to snap out of feeling lethargic
This past week or so I have been feeling really lethargic. Like a subdued feeling has come over me and left me somewhat distant from the world. My weekend has consisted of roaming around, not really achieving anything or enjoying my time off work. This has continued into the first day of the week, and while this has not affected productivity, I have not been my chirpy self. I am not sure if this is a result of not eating meat, however I decided it had to stop and it had to stop right now.
So how do you snap out of this lethargic, subdued feeling? EXCERCISE!
Finishing work today I hopped on the stationary bike and completed 23 minutes of HITT cardio. When I had finished I was shaking a little and very thirsty. After cooling down and rehydrating myself I am feeling great. It really is unbelievable how different I feel.
23 minutes, just 23 minutes is all it took to make me feel focused, determined, energised and back with the living. I just had to share it with you immediately. If it has this effect on me when I am feeling down, imagine the results when I am my usual hyper self.
Whether coming back from injury (like me, groin) or if you have just fallen into a rut, get yourself out and do a little exercise. You owe yourself 20 minutes a day at the very least.
Let me know how you get on if you decide to take my advice. I would be interested to know.

Deciding how to challenge yourself
So having completed January without a drink, and February will be completed without meat. It leaves me with the question of what to do next month. I have had some suggestions from me friends but can’t decide what March challenge should be.
It’s my birthday in March so I don’t want it to be so hard it spoils it for me. Especially as I am to become 30.
Let me know your suggestions, i’ll see if anything takes my fancy.

February Challenge
I decided this month I wanted to try and see what life would be like without eating meat. I will find this one extremely difficult because I like the taste of meat. At least February is a short month so if I hate it I only have to do it for 29 days this year.
The best thing about doing monthly challenges, is that you get to give something a real go and at the end of it you don’t have to feel guilty if you go back to how things were before.
My starting weight is 163lbs, it will be interesting to see what effects this has on my mind and body.
I will be drinking alcohol this month, however something has changed within me, I no longer have to reason with myself to not have a drink. I just don’t feel like I want one any more. I will however still have a few when I socialise with friends on a night out, but I wont be drinking when I watch football, movies, or sat in the house anymore.
