There is a million and one reason why we don't get enough sleep, but guess what... you can't do it all that night and it really can wait til the next day. Your Health is so much more important, so please 7 hours is the very minium amount of sleep that you should be getting everynight, 8 is ideal. I know some people that tell me that they only get about 5 hours and say that they feel fine; and while that might be true for now, it will catch up to them one day, because it's not fine. I have also read several reports that link obesity to not getting the proper sleep. So let's get better at taken care of ourselves.

LET'S PUT THIS IN A DIFFERNT FORMAT.

I FINALLY JOINED A GYM!!!

Well, I did it....I finally joined a Gym and I love it. My son and I are now member of the BAC, last night was our first time going and we both loved it and can't wait to go back. They make working out fun; they have TVs on almost all of the workout equipment in one of the rooms in there, all you have to do is bring your own head set and you get to watch TV as you are working out! How Awesome is that!!!

I am looking forward to going again tonight and working out. My goal is to take off 20 pounds by July, I plan on going to North Carolina to visit with my sister and brother and I want to go to the beach while I am there and wear a really nice bathing suit.

Are you all working on your goals, I know it's tough but, you can do it! LET ME KNOW WHAT ARE DOING. Do you need pointers? Do you have some advice that you would like to share? WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS?
