I've been dancing for almost 11 years but for the last few years I was very reliant on alcohol and coke to work. I've now been clean and sober a month and I love it, I oddly have more confidence, am more focused and working more shifts as I don't have to struggle with hangovers/comedowns. So all good, except one thing. I have so much less stamina.
I feel weak and shaky at work after doing a lot of dances and get very tired. I'm relying a lot on sugar to get me through, and protein bars etc. I can't drink anything with caffeine so that's not an option. I've really noticed how much my feet are killing now too and overall its hard to stay in the zone.
I don't know if part of it is to do with the fact that I'm nearly 30 so the last time I worked sober I had all the energy of being a babystripper. However I know there's girls older who seem pretty energetic too. I've started going to the gym to try and see if that helps and I'm eating pretty healthily, although maybe not enough on the days I work as I have a problem with bloating and get self conscious.
Is there anything else I should be doing? Our busy season is about to hit which means our hours will be longer and at the moment I'm struggling with 9pm-5am. I honestly feel like I've been hit by a truck the next day. But I want to do well and make as much money as possible.
Any ideas or tips?
