How many times a week will someone you know ask you how you are doing and wonder whether you are getting the amount of sleep that you need? It’s probably quite a few if you have a busy schedule. Between work, taking care of our families, and trying to have something of a social life we don’t seem to have time to get in more than 8 hours of sleep.
Remember when we were young and our first job was at the closest grocery store or restaurant? We were on our feet all day keeping busy and we could eat as much as we wanted without gaining a pound. Now we have the daily office job and we find ourselves sitting down for the majority of our day. We still eat what we want – but now we have noticed the extra 20 pounds that seemed to creep up on us without any warning.
With summer just around the corner it’s time to get our bodies back into shape. Over the holidays we always seem to let ourselves go and keeping ourselves warm in the winter with all those bulky sweaters doesn’t help us to show off our body – which is how we lose the fight to keep the weight off.
