Based on the anonymous commentary on my last entry, I've made some changes based on what's been said.
I have been eating more vegetarian-like/less beef. I'm still not eating healthy, but it's a start. I've also been trying to do small yoga workouts (Yoga for Abs if you're curious) each morning. (Sorry, but I have enough trouble running one mile, let alone three.) On the creative side, I've been writing morning pages...which seem to be rants about how sleepy I am. Probably most importantly, I've been shooting for going to bed early as well as rising early. Work hours are not as kind...frankly it's hard for software developers to maintain regular schedules - it's not a job that has nicely defined + easily reproducable processes that result in the desired 9 am - 5 pm mentioned.
Overall, I like the changes, but I feel like I'm pushing too many things at once. I've been on the edge of getting sick for the past few weeks, and I think this might push me over the edge.
I'll have to continue this and see if it makes any overall difference.
