I used to eat a salad every day until recently when I decided I can't be bothered to visit work canteen anymore. They gave shit food but I'd always take an extra big salad of raw vegetables. Recently my diet got worse. I used to love cooking, but now I can't be bothered, so it's instant ramen, milk with buckwheat, or potatoes + egg + bacon + fried vegetables. Not sure what "high-quality protein" is. I had a period when I'd drink a litre of vodka every weekend, but now it's like "one beer to chill after work". Weed is my vice though, I'm stoned every weekend. I try to cut though because the amounts I used to consume now make me tired, so I'm aiming for smaller doses. I try to eliminate caffeine, but I keep learning about new sources of it. It's literally today that I learned just how much caffeine cola has. Sugar is my vice definitely. I cycle every day, so I burn it. When I don't cycle I hit the gym. Sleep... it happens often that I schedule time to sleep, I put away my phone, but then I just don't fall asleep, I just lie there awkwardly in bed. Or I wake up and then can't go back to sleep. I feel like the quality of my sleep isn't there really, which is why I decided to cut caffeine in the first place. But then I sometimes have a streak where I can sleep and function well. One thing is that I tend to get sleepy in the afternoon. If I go to bed and manage to get one full cycle of sleep, I won't feel completely miserable. I don't have big meals before bedtime but often I keep snacking on something. Whether I wake up to pee depends on how much liquid I drink before. I'd say 50/50. |
Ramen, bacon, beer, cola, weed...
Maybe cut back or eliminate those for a few weeks and see how you feel? It's obviously way easier said than done but I can almost guarantee that cleaner living will bring back some of the lost energy, and once you've got more energy it gets a lot easier to get (and stay) on track again.
Best of luck.
