Our cumulative total for the week was 0.2%. Okay, so last week wasn’t so great. Setbacks are inevitable. The important thing to remember here is that you can’t let little hiccups get in the way of achieving your goal. Now is the perfect time to recommit and tighten your resolve.

This week’s challenge involves sleep. What does sleep have to do with weight loss? Several things, actually. If you’re tired your body is more likely to respond by asking for food than by asking for a nap. Exhaustion can lead to poor choices, like bingeing. But more importantly, sleep is when our bodies perform the “housekeeping” tasks that are difficult while we’re awake. If you’re sleep-deprived, your metabolism can’t function the way it was meant to. If you get at least seven hours of sleep per 24-hour period, you’ll feel better. Do it each day this week and you can put your name in the drawing next Saturday.
