Nutrition and Sleep

Two things are clear after today's workout. If I ever want to make any significant progress towards these goals two things must be done. Number one. I need to get on a regular and healthy sleep schedule. And two I need to make my diet both healthy and regulated. Discipline is going to be the name of the game for awhile. Getting myself settled into a routine and sticking to it.

I started the south beach diet about three weeks ago in an attempt to lose a few pounds. The diet is split into three phases. I am still attempting to complete the first of these three, the low carb phase. It is only a two weeks, but I was weak and had about 5 days where I drank beer and ate poorly. So I started over. To any who are curious, it does work. I have already visibly lost weight. My only problem is I can't work out as hard as I usually would. I feel this could be due to the lack of carbs. But, it could be because I am convincing myself that, and not putting my mind to it.

Random side note, I need to get more sun. I felt like a vampire walking around the gym today! Tomorrow I am going to go tan for half an hour.
