I've struggled with sleep for the last three years, ever since I bought my house. I think it started as a result of the stress of owning my own home, and never quite went away. It was replaced with the stress of my new job. I finally got it under control last summer and was able to stop taking Ambien nightly, but since my social life has become more busy and I've been going to sleep later I've unfortunately become reacquainted with the 2pm slump. Sometime after lunch I crash, sometimes falling asleep at my desk mid-email.
Enter the e+ energy shot. Oh my goodness, this thing is a life saver. But--I kid you not-- it tastes like battery acid the first few times you drink it. It's fine going down, but the aftertaste is enough to make you long for the sweet aftertaste of vomit. Gross. But I can now down it like it's candy. It gives me energy for the entire afternoon, and is especially helpful on cleanse days and days when I am going to 5:30pm Body Pump.
These suckers are not cheap at about $3 each, but I guess for people who get a daily afternoon Starbucks for an energy boost this is the same idea. I take this on Body Pump days, cleanse days, and the occasional work day when I can't keep my eyes open. Generally I have a ton of energy on Isagenix, but the late nights are definitely taking their toll.
As part of my re-boot of this lifestyle, I'm going to keep these suckers well stocked. When I get tired I tend to reach for unhealthy snacks, like sweets. If I can keep the energy level up, I won't need to search for sugar. This bad boy makes an appearance on my weekly schedule about 3-4 times.
