Day 12 - Jan 12

I saw this picture on Whole 9's site and wanted to share it. I have heard it so many times, yet still struggle with putting sleep in front of exercise. Last summer I went to Robb Wolf's seminar (www.robbwolf.com) and he talked about this for a long time...that it doesn't matter if you are eating perfectly and working out 5 times a week - if you aren't getting enough sleep - NOTHING WILL CHANGE.

Dallas from Whole 9 shares his thoughts here: http://whole9life.com/2011/12/sleep-and-exercise/

  7. This is Claudia
    Ah the topic of sleep! It is such a challenge to get 8 hours, I don't think it is possible in our household, but am really trying to go to bed by 11:00 pm so I get about 7 hours sleep then...

    Meal 1: two chicken blueberry patties and coffee with coconut milk
    Snack: grapes
    Meal 2: veggie soup and celery sticks
    Snack: almonds/cashews and apple
    Meal 3: flank steak and sauteed bok choy, mushrooms and onions in coconut oil

    Success story of the day - did not eat wine gums and coke bottle gummies at work (we have a candy cupboard in our office that is visited by staff from all over...)
