Weight Loss Tip of the Day
Can You Lose Weight While You Sleep?
When you haven’t had a lot of sleep, your body reacts much the same as if you haven’t eaten enough; your leptin levels fall as your ghrelin levels shoot up. This triggers hunger, which, in turn, triggers overeating and that, of course, leads to weight gain. These hormonal changes also seem to signal the body to put the brakes on metabolism and cling to fat stores more tenaciously. Those who get by on less than four hours of sleep a night were a whopping 73 percent more likely to be obese than people who slumber seven to nine hours nightly

Had to skip yesterday’s food log because of having to rush a 4000-word essay. I can finally have a good night’s sleep tonight.

Weight Loss Tip of the Day
10 Important Things to Remember When Trying to Lose Weight:
Women who get 7-8 hours of sleep every night have faster metabolisms than women who get fewer hours. Sleep and rest are essential factors in weight loss. When your body is rested, it functions more efficiently. You have more energy. You will be less hungry during the day.
Breakfast @ 7.45am
Half of a Subway 6-inch roast beef, no cheese (129 cal) with red wine vinaigrette (10 cal).
Morning Tea @ 10.30am
Other half of the Subway 6-inch roast beef, no cheese (129 cal) with red wine vinaigrette (10 cal).
Group Fitness @ 12pm

Other notes
I went to my family doctor today, who concluded that the corn-lookalike at the bottom of my left foot was actually a plantar wart. He therefore burnt it with liquid nitrogen (effin’ painful) and now I can’t run for a few weeks. Ouchies. Bye-bye cardio…
