A lack of sleep is directly proportional to hunger the next day.
I slept horribly last night. Just one of those nights where I could not fall into that deep sleep. I tossed and turned all night. Ugh. Today, I felt FAMISHED. I was drooling over the nasty pancakes on a stick the kids have for breakfast.(which I did NOT eat) That's when I knew I was in trouble.
I still stayed in my calorie limit, but also experienced a significant lack of energy. My workout tonight suffered for it (although I did the death machine first and it wasn't nearly as bad as waiting until doing it last).
The kids are struggling too...I think we're all tired. There is no school Thursday, so it will be nice to sleep in, catch up on housework, and get a chance to be refreshed. Thursday is also our first nutrition class, and hopefully I can gain some ideas on how to get these kids to eat healthy. I need very quick meals that are healthy...
Hopefully I'll get some sleep tonight.
Physically our bodies are hanging in there. We're a bit tired and achy. I made sure I took something before I went to the gym to help.
One interesting thing Nicole told me was to make sure my exertion was never at a 10 on a scale of 1-10. If you're at an 8-10 then you're not in the fat burning zone. I tend to push myself to the limit, and I am being told that it is counter productive. That's a hard lesson to learn as I'm a 110% kind of person. But I'm going to trust my trainer and back down, and stop watching the calorie numbers.
But tonight I'm going to give sleep 110%....darn...just realized I missed Biggest Loser...Oh well, there are definitely more important things like laundry and dishes that need attention!
