Our Physical Fitness

Both Tuesday and last night I did my current basic dumbbell work upper body routine for 3 circuits - flat bench, inclined curls, and seated lateral raises all with drop sets. Last night I was determined to hit triceps as well but people kept jumping on the machine and taking a while, so I finally just did three straight sets of dumbbell behind the head/goblet skull crushers. Bumping the weight and drop setting on the second, though my right elbow and shoulder are complaining a little so I didn't push it too hard.

Still keep waking in the middle of the night and being sluggish to rise in the morning, but I do want to get back on my morning exercises. Will keep working on my sleep discipline. Maybe I need to adjust diet slightly? I haven't been drinking most nights. :/

Sleep is so tough sometimes. I grew up with poor sleep, and outside a few periods (like a year here, a year there) over my whole life, its just sucked. Its not great for our health at all.

I generally look at.

Food - Dont eat late, dont eat heavy fat.
Water - Dont drink too late.
Stress (Its always stress) - This is just the eternal struggle. Limit stress. I have a few things that set me off, and I'm not going to sleep if they are bouncing around the skull.
Room Temp/Brightness + Bed - The environment is critical. Needs to be cool, no scents, fresh air, good pillow (this is key!) yeah.

Anti-Inflammatory - I need to take pills to keep my inflammation down. I take a natural one, its key for my breathing.
