Monday Workout



The Bingham Diaries


I have to be honest, I have not had a good week. I've been slacking on the whole exercise daily/eat right thing, and I have FELT IT. Seriously. I feel like I was run over by a car. Or what I imagine it would feel like because I have no actual experience with something like that, but if I did, I'm pretty sure it would feel exactly the same.

On to more important things:

Today is the day we're starting the CHALLENGE PORTION of the competition. Challenge for the week:

GO TO BED.

We all know how important sleep is to weight loss. Lack of sleep can cause overeating, and let's be honest, you don't eat a pan of brownies at 10 in the morning.

Sleeping is also important because it's your bodies time to re-energize. You may think you're functioning pretty well, but when you start getting that full 8 hours of rest every night, you'll see a definite increase in your energy levels.

So this week, I want you in bed by ten. I'm giving you a specific bedtime, because I think it will be easier for you if you don't have to make the decision about when an appropriate bedtime is. I know I have a problem getting into bed early enough to get the rest I need, so I'm thinking you do to.

Anyways, good job this week, but let's kick it into high gear.
