What Things Give You Energy?

If everything goes perfect the night before...
So...
A Great Dinner...
A Joint for dessert
At least an 8-hour sleep (which seldom happens)
Wake up, see the sun, admire our property, play with the boys (Lennie & Carl) and my Grandson who I will see in the morning, cuz he's having his first sleepover...
# to 5 cups of coffee, breakfast, check-in here... and the day begins with some pretty good energy...

Sounds effective Mike, thanks! :)
 
When I'm working outdoors in the Summer, I often stop for a few minutes and pick a half dozen Grape Tomatoes from my garden. A quick rinse with the hose, a couple minutes to snack on these little jewels, a drink of cold water, and I'm ready to go again. There is something about these small fresh tomatoes that quickly boosts my energy.
Who would have known about Grape Tomatoes! I get them at the store at times and put them in a salad or eat them alone.

Dark sweet cherries do it for me. If I eat about a dozen of them with a bottle of Deer Park, then in about 20 minutes I can run my 2 miles in about 15 minutes. (I may be exaggerating just a wee bit.)
 
I’m not naturally energetic I’m actually sedentary by nature. But when I do need to get up and go I find that eating less is very helpful and also reducing the amount of the fat in my diet and eating low fat protein is also super important for me. And a great nights sleep is critical! ZZZZZZZZZ
 
A cool day. I am not a fan of summertime. Heat and humidity are enervating to me. This last weekend was atrocious - heat index neat 110°F.
I feel the same way Deb, the heat kills me! Our heat index was same as yours last Fri. and Sat. I am so glad to have cooler temps. now but it's going to get hot again...yuck!

Heat makes me tired. Winter time I have tons of energy. Visiting with friends gives me lots of energy, then when they are gone I am happy to quietly relax.
 
When someone pisses me off..

I can clean the whole house with a tooth brush......:LOL:
Had an argument with a nephew one evening and since several of our family members live around me, they heard it. When I got inside I was still so mad at the nephew I got the mop and bucket out and started mopping the floors. It was after 11:00 at night. My niece called to see if she could come over (she'd heard the argument). I just told her I was mopping the floor and it was not a good time. The next day word had gotten around that I was 'cleaning mad' and my nieces told everyone to stay clear of me that night because they knew not to get in the way of a woman when she's 'cleaning mad'.

Next time that happens.......c'mon over.......this place could use it... ;)
 
Upbeat rock n roll from the 60s forward, including recent stuff.

Hubby is more of a self-starter than I am so I follow his lead. When he starts puttering, I get off my duff and move toward doing something constructive.

If all else fails, I invite people over - even if it's just my kids. It's a great motivator to clear some accumulated clutter from the flat spaces that draw it like bees to honey. Mostly it's mail that needs shredding. (I'm getting to hate mail.)
