Energy

[vespa331]

I'm having energy issues. For one, I have almost none, which is annoying because I'm eating pretty well and exercising and I'm not sure what to do on top of that. For two, my energy is at really inconvenient times

I'm at a low but constant caffeine intake. I've been thinking about upping it to 2 cups a day in order to fool my system, but I was hoping someone had a magical way that wouldn't rely on more stimulants (I dislike being physically addicted to anything, even tea). I don't really have a strong post-caffeine crash, but I'm using it to give me energy in the early evening. If I lived alone I might just give in and have a weirdo 2 long naps a day schedule and work out at midnight

The short version

Tim's too young for me too, but I justify it with the fact that he's very mature for his age. ;) Plus my best friend's married to a guy 7 years older than her so she'd kick my butt if I lamented an age difference of <10 years. :D

They do offer private lessons but they're pricey indeed. I don't think I'm willing to drop that kinda cash when I'm not sure it'd do any good. Swim lessons for me generally go like:
"Ok, now turn your head..."
But then my face will be in the water.
"Well, yes."
And then I'll drown.
"Just don't let any water in your nose."
Yeah, see, that's the thing. It is physically impossible for me to not suck gallons of water in through my nose. I've tried blowing air out, I've tried to kinda close my nose, nothing works. Even if I just get splashed with water, I will somehow manage to inhale it, and then die a death of coughy doom. Which is ironic, because I also can't breathe through my nose. My nose is pointless. Anyways, you somehow need to teach me to do this without putting my face in the water
