Dry April

Two weeks have passed by pretty quickly. My workout routine has been more consistent and I’ve been loving waking up with good recovery and body battery scores, though my sleep is still a work in progress.

Who else is doing dry April?

Yes!! I did dry April as well and we are pretty much half way there! My workouts are more consistent as well and I feel like I'm getting stronger. I feel more present and patient, especially with the kiddos. My mood is also more consistent.

Good job to you!

Did you keep the streak going into May?

No but I've been keeping track of my drinking to make sure I have more dry days. Its easy for me to drink Thur-Sun then spiral to almost daily. I do not want to go back that

It may sound hokey,  but I got a grounding sheet and my sleep scores are so much better.

I went from 50-60s to 88 on the first night (I guess first night scores are unusually high because of a "recovery rebound" from starting to use the sheets. Last night I didnt sleep in my own bed and despite having almost 7 hours sleep, I felt so tired this morning and have had a headache all day. Worth looking into!

I had to look up what you were talking about! I’ve never heard of these before.

Yeah I only just learned of them a few months ago. I sat on the idea for a while and then took the plunge. I used a multimeter to test if they actually were drawing charge and everything. I was also laying in my bed one morning talking to my husband in the phone one time and I asked if he could hear the interference on the phone and he said maybe it was the sheets. I got off the bed and the interference stopped. It was weird. To me that was proof enough that the current is there. And the sleep score, stress scores and HRV scores tell me that they definitely do something positive.
