Monday the 13th Is the New Friday 13th


Hi Reader,

This weekend we were all robbed an hour of sleep and promised extra sunlight would make up for it. Maybe it will eventually, but not right away.

Sleep is incredibly important to our health and fitness. Suddenly taking away that hour is a BIG DEAL as is evidenced by the increase in heart attacks, strokes, and traffic accidents this week after the switch to Daylight Savings Time.

Do yourself a few favors this week.

  • Keep active and keep moving. It'll help you find your natural rythm in the new world order of time.
  • Get out and make sure you soak up some of that extra sunlight we've been promised.
  • Stay super hydrated, because that's always good idea.
  • Adjust your exercise intensity back a little if needed to match your energy.
  • Wear your seatbelt and keep your phone off while driving so you can avoid the sleep deprived zombies that don't have it together as well as you do.

Treating yourself and others with a little extra grace this week could potentially go a long way.
