Sleep, get you some


Are you getting your 8 hours? Or have you never gotten 8 and think sleeping 8 hours is for babies or narcoleptics? I may change your mind right now. There have been studies in the last couple of years linking sleep to weight loss. As in if you do nothing else but increase the amount of sleep you get to 7.5 or 8 hours you will lose weight over time. That's right, that's what I said, just getting more sleep will help you lose a few pounds. So just think what would happen if you got more sleep and started walking a couple of days a week! Wow, the possibilities!
I feel like I am joining a revolution. I am now one of a host of lifestyle changing folk who are sounding the clarion call of HEY - YOU OUT THERE - START TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF NOW!!!! We cannot go on eating fast food and living life in the fast lane of career, parenting, and stress.
Ok, I'm getting a little preachy. And here I am talking about sleep. So, ease up now. Relax. Get some rest. That's what I really meant to say. Ok, I'm icing my heel in the hopes that my heel will heal. I am nothing if not consistent in my abiding love for puns of all kinds. And now I am going on my 2 mile dog walk and later I will see what kind of craziness Coach Sule has in store. All that should lead to a nice nights sleep.
