Project A

THURSDAY 19th of FEBRUARY 2009

Okey, so attempt #2 at trying to turn myself into a morning person is almost complete. The first try was a couple of weeks back, and a week of getting up early, say around 8 o'clock which isn't really early at all, rendered me completely useless for a week. I literally got sick from trying (okey, so I actually was sick that week too - that darn cold just doesn't want to go away)! Thus, I was back at square one.

This week the experiment continued and I must say it has gone remarkably well so far. I've been up sometime between 8 - 8.30 everyday so far except for Monday, when I woke up feeling like I'd been to one hell of a party the night before. And, I hate nothing more than waking up feeling like I've got a mega hang-over. Condition = zombie - and that's was even after I had a cup of coffee! Yeah, and just to make it clear: There was no party. Just Shekira who did a lousy job of looking after herself during the weekend (neither eating enough, drinking enough - definately could have skipped the Irish Coffee after work - nor sleeping enough).

Though I might never become a full-fledged morning person, I at least hope to be less of a bat and more of a rooster. And, more importantly, I've discovered two aspects of the A-rhythm that I actually like: 1) starting the day off with a hot cup of coffee & a newspaper, and 2) feeling sleepy early in the evening!
