No Sleep Will Devour your Weight-Loss

06/02/2011

Days until Con : 91

Check it. This weeks' weigh in will not be so awesome, unless I can make a last minute come back, or pay a surgeon to jiggy with a laser. I was finally feeling healthy enough to work out, been eating very decent, yet I've gained back into the 220s. The reason? Lack of consistent 7.5 sleep.

I'm pretty sure anyways.

I want to blame my friends, I really do, but ultimately it was my decision to stay out and have late night coffee conversations with them all week long. Maybe they slipped some fat pills into in with my creamer, or disguised a bbq pork plate to look like a rice N chicken lean cuisine meal. (I've been suspicious of the oriental selections regardless)

It doesn't help that I have to wake up at 6am, make an hour and half long journey to work, work until 5, workout until 6 or 6:30. Then an hour and half long trek back home. If I don't see anyone and just drive straight home after my exercising I'll be lucky to write one of these articles just in time to lay in bed.

At this point in my life I need human interaction, I need to know there's a world outside of my basement, my laptop, and a corporate office. But that's getting a little off topic...


I oversleep on my days off, and I don't get enough sleep on the days I do work. Which I believe is the norm for people my age, but I need to curve it somehow. This week I've lost more sleep than normal and I had no idea just how much it effects your ability to gain/lose weight. The damage to my weight loss journey isn't going to destroy my chances of being Hot for Con, but it's frustrating to do right on so many levels and still have something like sleep slow you down. Perhaps there's other variables at work, but I'm too tired to search for them.

I'd make a horrible detective. Your ass would be locked up based on stereotypes and a very loose circumstance, one I likely planted on you in the first place. Cause I got a quota to meet.
