GET YOUR SLEEP!!

Kev and I have been TERRIBLE at getting our sleep lately! Terrible…. 🙁

And it is definitely taking a toll on my body!

************************

Sadly Kev and I are like two peas in a pod….If one of us stays up late, usually the other one does too and vice versa.

We are both little night owls.

I don’t know what my problem is, but I really love the peace and quiet that accompanies nighttime. It is therapeutic for me….and then morning comes and I am reminded that I have serious issues.

*******************

When I’m sleep deprived everything in my life seems insurmountable, especially eating well and exercising. This past week, I have been extra hungry, craving carbs and treats, low on energy and unmotivated!

Lovely.

It’s been tough.

I love eating well and exercising, but when my body is crying “uncle” because of sleep deprivation, it’s so hard to stick with it! I don’t mean to be negative, but I tell you these things so you can all learn from my bad example! 😉

SOOOOOOOOO, take a tip from me and be sure you get your rest!

********************

With that being said, I want to give a shout out to all y’all out there who are disciplined enough to go to bed early.

I am truly inspired and impressed by you.

Really.

Thanks for your wonderful examples.

On a brighter note, I went to my 7:00 AM cardio class Saturday morning and I loved it! It felt good to get up early and it’s always nice to have my workout done FIRST THING!

I also had a special treat because as I was driving to the gym, I was able to view the lunar eclipse! When I first looked at the moon, I thought, “That’s strange I’ve never seen a crescent moon on the BOTTOM of the moon before!?”

Then I quickly realized it was an eclipse and it was so so so cool. This is about what it looked like…
