Alertness associated with last night’s sleep, physical activity and food intake

My take on IF is to skip 'breakfast', and allow myself to eat between lunchtime and late evening.

Sleeping means I'm not eating, and no morning meal saves me a few minutes of time and effort. It also means that it's easier for me to not screw up my IF if I want to go out to eat with people, since few are interested in dining out early in the day.

Working out midday before lunch is a new challenge for me, and I'm still getting into the hang of it, as opposed to after work hours. I still start yawning whenever I get to the gym, and I definitely don't have the same amount of performance, but I'm trying to get myself into it.

For me, once I got over the initial hump, my workouts before my first feeding are great. I have tons of energy, and am just ready to go. That initial hump was a little rough as I used to eat breakfast as soon as I got up. Now, I only start to notice real hunger if I skip breakfast and lunch.

I have more 'work' to do in figuring out where my pre-gym yawning comes from, but tend to have my burst of clarity/energy once I'm done. Maybe it has something to do with sitting for so long? Not sure yet.
