Damn, this was a great post. Thanks for revisiting!

I’ve got two out of three. I do get good sleep (if undisturbed) but I get to bed very late usually… 3-5am. (It’s 2am right now)

Paul Chek is a huge advocate for a 10pm bedtime. I kept a 10:30-ish bedtime for a while, but always end up drifting back to being a night-owl. It’s just so peaceful at night and much easier for me to get work done.

@ Rambodoc: Thanks very much for the kind words. Its great to read up on stuff on the net it really helps keep motivated and excited about living a healthy lifestyle….. Just make sure not to read too much, it can get confusing when really staying fit and healthy is simple if you know what your doing! Great blog BTW.

I am happy with this post. I can add one more thing:
Healthy, fit people always want to learn more about health and fitness. Doesn’t sound catchy, true, but the more I read from people like you, the more easily I am consistent and motivated. It is rather easy to lose your way!

Nice post Chris. Diet is so important. Exercise is a good complement to a healthy diet but without good food as a base your fitness plans can fall apart. I agree with Keith on the sleep thing. It’s so hard to get more than 6 hours on work nights. Just too much other stuff to do.

@ Keith: At least your managing a few 10 hour nights I am sure they make up fr the rest of the 6hr nights….. Hibernating is definitely the word for it but I bet you feel dang good after clocking 10hrs!!
@ DR: for stressing out I have found meditating really useful as is learning to breath deeply into your stomach, it does wonders for calming!
@ Cindy: Glad you read it in time. No amount of exercise will make up for a bad diet, processed junk foods can throw even the most well crafted fitness plans into disarray!

Very true.

When your fit and healthy it’s so much easier to do the right things to look after yourself.

Nice one.

“Stressing Out” has been my big problem. Practicing meditation is finally showing some results.
