Unbelieveable. I go to Galveston this past weekend to celebrate how well I've been doing with eating well and exercising and then BAM....I come back and eat like a maniac so far this week! Notice the 2 previous days. There is tons of purple! (items highlighted in purple are the "bad" choices I eat). It really stands out on the blog and helps me to realize why I gained 2 pounds in 2 days! I have no excuse! Better get back on the wagon and quick!
Haven't been getting 8 hours of sleep the past several days. More like 5.5 - 6 hours. Sleep makes a huge difference in losing weight. Your body needs time to recover from the day. Sleeping allows your body to repair itself and recharge....like a battery! Without sleep, you gain stomach fat. Sometimes people think they are hungry and eat, but the fact is, many of them are just tired and sleepy so they eat to get energy. All they really needs is sleep to get energy.
Below is from an online website: Click here to see the rest of it.
Although the study focused on persons 40 years or younger, the National Sleep Foundation’s own 2003 Sleep in America poll found that older adults are not exempt from the ill-effects of insufficient sleep. Some highlights from the poll were:
- Inadequate sleep is associated with diabetes in older adults.
- Sleep problems are common in older adults who are classified as obese or overweight.
Snack: apple slices
Lunch: The school supplied us with Chick-Fil-A sandwiches, also had 1/2 of my own chicken sandwich that I brought to work and my Greek yogurt with frozen blueberries.
Snack: small orange
Dinner: Large salad with tomatoes, avacados, little chicken (again), PIZZA. (too tired to cook today)
Our oven is now working again! Horay!
