I’ve been having an amazing experience with my eating and working out over the last few weeks. In spite of all the stress I’ve been under, I’m still doing great. I don’t know what’s happening/happened to me, but I just hope it keeps up. Sometimes I’m afraid to believe it’s real…
I just found out I’m going to Baltimore for a conference October 27-30. Due to budget constraints, I was asked to make the trip as inexpensive as possible for my City. I had to make my own travel arrangements and I’ll get reimbursed after the trip. I went on Expedia and I’m amazed at the price of trips…I got round trip from Seattle to Baltimore, and 3 nights at the Sheraton near the Inner Harbor (near the Convention Center) for $525. (I could have actually gotten something for around $400, or even a bit less, but I was a little leary of the one-and-a-half star hotel that was offered at that price...lol)
I just found a quote from a study about sleep, and I need to take my own advice:
If you want to lose weight, experts say you need to get enough sleep. Specifically, researchers have reported that women who sleep 5 hours or less per night generally weigh more than women who sleep 7 hours per night.
So…goodnight!
I'm a firm believer in the power of sleep. It really is my bellweather as to how I'm doing. For me, it probably is the MOST important thing that I can do to try to give myself the opportunity to get a good night's sleep. Sometimes insomnia rears it's ugly head, but I do the best I can.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your time in Baltimore - never been there, but I hear it's lovely. Oh, and have a crab cake - although living on the West coast, the lure of good seafood is not such a big draw.
Glad to read you are doing well. G'night.
Way to go Graciela! I'm doing much better too even though I'm faced with restaurant food for every meal. Weird, but I'm happy about it.
ReplyDeleteI'm always shorting myself on sleep, and I know it's really bad. It's so hard to get enough sleep, something I'm always trying to do and seem to fail a lot.
Baltimore sounds fun. Hopefully you won't get stuck working the entire time (like me in San Francisco). Maybe you can get out and see some sights.
Cool about the great deal you got on your trip. Travel is way down, airlines are hurting big time. Right now is the super slow time of the year, after summer and before the holidays. Great time to travel.
Have fun!
Getting plenty of sleep will definitely help power your weight-loss efforts. It's easy... especially with the way our online activities can suck time out of our day... to try to cheat our nappy time, but it will set you back in the long run.
ReplyDeleteI've hear that about sleep also - I always get my 8 hours!!
ReplyDeleteJust came back from Balti! I strongly suggest to stick to the Inner Harbor. I was right there at both the new Hilton and the Holiday Inn Express. The prices are ridiculous, but safety is important.
