Hi all. Quick post today. After two weeks of sporadically following my morning routine because of travel and the subsequent need for rest after a vacation, I’m back on my routine. I took a little vacation for the Labor Day weekend. Nothing big just got to visit and hangout with family.

Then last week came back and just couldn’t get my sleep routine back on track. So I’d wake up really exhausted. I think it was the heat. It kept waking me up in the middle of the night so I didn’t get that high quality deep sleep to rest, recover, and replenish myself. That’s one thing about having a fitness tracker you can actually see that there are physiological reasons why we feel exhausted some mornings and completely revitalized other mornings.

I decided to get some magnesium supplements because I remember that it helped me in the past with alleviating soreness and also to sleep better. I took that last night with dinner and I did notice this morning that I had much more deep sleep according to my fitness tracker than I had last week. I’ll see if that continues.

Anyway, followed my routine this morning. Up at 5:15, hit the gym and now I’m back. Drinking a nice cup of (decaf) coffee and a slice of sourdough toast with pesto and a slice of lox. So delicious! Time to get ready for work.

Have a great day!
