hi guys,

i'm 2yr2months past chemo/rad so i've been playing the energy level game for awhile now. for me, it was sleeping fulltime for 2 months, then back to work with low low energy and after work naps for the first year. then more energy with afternoon naps. last thankgiving i started a low heart rate exercise program... and wow! am i feeling more energy now. the progression during these two years has been at a rate that doesn't stress me so that my energy is used instead for recovery.

i been reading nutrition books as well as training books for endurance and it seems that Bob said something that is right on the money... not only what, but *when* we eat can make a difference. i usually leave work at 3, home by 4, then sleep till 5. yet in 2004, i want to exercise when i get home.. so the plan is to eat just a bit at 3 to provide the energy for the afternoon workout - then maybe take my nap. i'll have to see how this works when i go back to work next week.

Afternoon snacks!! for energy when we want it.

cu,
larryb
