Alright Tron thanks for that post, and thanks to everyone who pitched in for this thread, I appreciate all the feed back.

Sleep is something I can finally catch up on now that I am done work for the summer, I've heard if you are over tired a good way to re charge your batteries is 15 hours un interupted, I got that on Sunday and have felt great all week. I go for 7-8 hours a night and almost always get it without interuptions.

Hydration is something I started working on this week as well, I am very bad for grabbing a juice with sugar, or gatorade etc.. I don't drink a lot of pop, but when I do it is Diet Pepsi. I started grabbing a water instead of the juice now, and am focusing on drinking multiple glasses a day while I am at home. I noticed I am peeing a lot more but I think as I get in the habit and start spacing it out better I will handle that more easily.

I am going to start doing a nightly supper that I prepare from either your recipe list, or something similar that I can find. I figure if I can keep up a good breakfeast, Cereal or Egg Whites + Protein shake before I hit the gym, and a good balanced protein heavy supper, having that lunch meal tossed up in the air shouldn't be quite as bad. At least 2/3 has to be better than 0/3. For the first year I lifted weights I never even ate breakfeast :/


The only thing that still confuses me is this carb heavey foods after supper. I have been bad for snacking a lot late at night. Target foods that I would want to snack on if I have to passed 8 P.M. would be yogurt, cereal, fruits, carrot sticks?
