I worked out with my personal trainer today, last one for a bit because she is moving off of her Friday schedule.
She is worried about my weight gain, cause it is getting worse.
I agree, she enlightened me on a two things, regarding weight gain and sleep.
- When you are tired from lack of sleep your body wants to energy (carbs) so begin to crave food. Hence the mightnight cravings.
- When you don’t get sleep, you tend be too tired to be motivated to work out.
Totally agree on these points. I think before I can lose weight I need to get a handle on sleep. After sleep I can work on weight loss.
Going on a business trip to vmworld. Maybe it is an opportunity to see if I can reset my sleep patterns.
