Sleep - It does a body good?

So I went to the doctor today and the visit went very well. I am down 2 pounds in a week, and I have to tell you - I am pretty darn PROUD of myself! I have been committed and faithful to this new lifestyle, even when it is painful - like today when someone bought PIZZA (a HUGE no-no for me with my no wheat, no dairy, etc... restrictions) for the office for lunch today! I did NOT give in, I ate my salad and fish which were actually quite good and very satisfying.

The one thing I was "scolded" on today is not getting enough sleep! Apparently, sleep is a magical healing environment (I know I sound skeptical - that's because I am!) and it is imperative to get AT LEAST 8 HOURS of sleep per night. Eight hours? Who does that? Not me - I am a certified Night Owl! I mean really? I've already given up the foods (a LOT of different foods) and now I have to put myself to bed like a toddler? I'm not sure I'm liking this whole new me thing so much at the moment..... I have been reading and there are tons of articles about how important sleep is and how it is VERY beneficial in losing weight! I guess I'm going to have to give it a try.

Okay, pity party over. Time to move on and deal with incorporating this new change into my life. I can do it! I'll let you know how it goes.

I was also a night owl, but 2 hours in the gym every day makes me ready to crawl into bed at 9. Good luck.
