HEALTH TIP – Get 7 to 8 hours of sleep

You may feel like you can get by “just fine” on 4-6 hours of sleep but the fact of the matter is, study after study shows, your body NEEDS 7 to 8 hours of sleep to function properly. AND, if you don’t get enough sleep it can cause you to gain weight. That’s right – those who don’t get enough sleep may put on extra pounds! Lack of sleep slows metabolism, increases cravings, and can reduce the benefits of exercise by not giving your body sufficient rest to recover. Your 8th Goal – For the next 14 days, do whatever you have to do to get at least 7 hours of sleep each night. Not only will this accelerate weight loss but you’ll be amazed at how much better – and happier – you feel.

HOME TIP – The Magical (Daily) 15 Minute Timer

The timer helps to keep you focused on what you are doing. For example: Today set a timer for 15 minutes and go gather up all the trash you can find to throw away and put it in the garbage can outside. 15 minutes a day goes a long way.]]>
