Be happy: You're getting your life together. Time management is crucial for you now. Discard low-yield activities. Physical fitness, sensible eating, learning marketable skills, and loving your child and his mother will keep you occupied. Get a Dr's checkup for fatigue -- life may be tiring you. Remember that many -- maybe most -- people in the world would give anything to trade places with you right now.

5-2-1-0: 5 fruits/vegetables every day as part of a balanced diet.. 2 hours of screen time or less each day.. 1 hour of physical activity daily (walking, cleaning, etc) 0 sugary drinks (no pop, energy drinks etc) but drink plenty of water.. 6-8 glasses/day When you have a balanced diet, exercise, sleep, and lose weight you will have more energy. Congrats on a new baby and hope you finish school for him!
