sleepy this week

This week has been very tiring for me and I haven't gotten a lot of sleep due to assignments, assistantship work, and prepping for my upcoming FTA conference this weekend and early next week.  However, I was able to get in my third workout for this week reaching my goal.  It was not as good of a workout as I usually do, but my heart was not in it and I am crediting it to the lack of sleep I've been getting.  But at least my goal was reached.

I also wanted to comment on the Ratey (2008) reading we have to do this week and say that its great to read this article that backs up all the exercise and work ethic I am trying to accomplish.  It discusses how exercise creates an environment which allows the brain to be more willing and able to learn. And I think I have definitely seen that to be prove, as for most of the time (provided I am also getting enough sleep) I am much more alert and focused in my classes.  I think the article was a good incentive to keep up the work and continue to meet my goals!
