Well, the first rule seems fairly sensible to me. More sleep = less tiredness. As long as I don't have children wandering in to me with bad dreams at 3 o'clock in the morning, it definitely helps.
I think it's good to have a settled body clock, ie. go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning. There's also the added bonus of escaping into a good book before drifting off to sleep.
So, that rule's done and dusted (for now). It's a success!
The next rule, I've decided, is to do with eating.
I've had a long chat with my good friend and gym instructor, Gina, who has advised me that low GI foods are best for keeping your energy levels up and stop you getting sugar highs and lows.
It sounds straight forward, eat foods that release energy slowly and eat them often. It's not going to be a huge departure from what I do already. I'll have 3 meals a day with snacks in between, restricting the bad stuff and increasing the good stuff.
I've tried it for a few days already, keeping a food diary, and it seems fine. I'm going to stop doing the diary now because I think I've got the hang of it and I don't want it to take over my life, just be part of it.
The great thing about this is that I can apply it to the whole family and they shouldn't notice much difference! This should be a good one all round. :)
