Back to Basics (Cont'd)

I had to come to a decision about getting back to basics; I am not disciplined enough. That starts with my sleep habits. I need to discipline myself to go to bed earlier. It is difficult to go to bed early after the kids go to bed. It is so peaceful after the kids go to bed and its nice to relax with my wife and a movie or get some work done or whatever. But I can't let the evening drag on and keep going to bed late.

I decided that I'm not lifting until I get into a better routine for sleeping. I get myself too run down, tired, and ill. I just can't take care of my job, family, and training on six or fewer hours of sleep a night. So as badly as I want to begin training I am staying out of the gym until I am getting enough rest to take care of all of my responsibilities and have energy left to train without running myself down.
