I know that if I don't sleep well my workouts are just not very intense.<br /><br />Sounds like you've really improved on the insomnia though!Krishttp://www.tryingtotri.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817953982491612075.post-19078908572894028432013-11-17T16:26:15.173+00:002013-11-17T16:26:15.173+00:00I don't know how I missed this post. Anyway, I...I don't know how I missed this post. Anyway, I agree with the comments above that sleep is very important. My daughter was complaining yesterday that when she was eating gluten, she slept too much because she was just exhausted all the time. Now that she is gluten free, she is having insomnia a lot. Hopefully, it will all work out for both of you. :)Caronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10971453836613391796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817953982491612075.post-63408663314603964482013-11-05T22:37:09.828+00:002013-11-05T22:37:09.828+00:00Hi, I think life is about getting the correct bala...Hi, I think life is about getting the correct balance, which s not always easy to do.<br /><br />For the past five or so years I have been living the low carb high fat lifestyle, it works well for me. But it is also important to include exercise and sleep within this, which so many of us do not give any thought to.<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817953982491612075.post-91096107935745604102013-11-05T18:47:42.049+00:002013-11-05T18:47:42.049+00:00Hi A, When I was your age, I was a candle burning ...Hi A, When I was your age, I was a candle burning at both ends. At a certain point, I just couldn't do that anymore and I stopped. <br /><br />It's kind of like me explaining to my oldest daughter that I am too old for high heels all day at work. My knees would not put up with that. I'm too old for procrastination because it's just too frustrating to me, after younger years of getting so worn out of it. <br /><br />I've exercised for what seems like a bazillion years in a row now (in reality--almost 7 years). At a certain point (probably year 3 or 4), it no longer mattered to miss a workout. By year 5, it didn't matter to only workout on weekends. And embarassingly, I did not get any weaker from working out less. If anything, I'm more rested to hit the gym really hard, plus my joints are no longer sore from excess strain on them. I'm not worried about losing strength or not getting an exercise in or anything like that because--I have the rest of my life to exercise! Everything I want to do will eventually get done--or it's not a priority. <br /><br />Sleep is crucial. It's mood changing too. As I learned how to sleep better, I lost weight. I also got happier. I was also in better control of my emotions. So sleep should be a high priority, as you say above. :D Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499442282999349686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817953982491612075.post-1773341507256551362013-11-05T09:59:53.907+00:002013-11-05T09:59:53.907+00:00you sound so much like me..the workout part is exa...you sound so much like me..the workout part is exactly what I go through...every word is true for me..I also used to think sleep is a waste of time if I have less time in a day I would always always cut down on sleep, I don't mind not sleeping also but I did notice my workouts suffer because of lack of sleep and now a days I make it a point to get enough sleep :)Tanveehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09404674967792684516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817953982491612075.post-5546073678028261662013-11-04T22:47:51.988+00:002013-11-04T22:47:51.988+00:00Hi Plum - thank you for participating in the Monta...Hi Plum - thank you for participating in the Montana challenge. You are leading in weight loss for this month. I read once that if you sleep 8 hours per day, that by the time you are 60 years old you will have slept 20 years of your life away. I was young when I read that and I also thought...what a waste of time! But I now know that sleep is vitally important to our overall health, mental and physical well-being. As you may also know I'm a newbie at yoga. Even though I have only tried yoga a few times, the one thing that I learn at every lesson is to live in this moment. During that time in yoga I am not concerned with anything coming up in the month or week that involves planning. I am just living in the moment. The yoga mindset is very new to me, as a westerner, but I know what I like:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17690442668699466427noreply@blogger.com
