Lose Weight For Life - week 5

Hi gang!

Tonight......we talked about Rest and Retire (to bed for sleep that is!)...Both are vital for weight and stress management. In today's fast-paced world, we are sacrificing the zzzzzz's for other things. We also found out that poor sleep can be a factor with weight gain. Can anybody say grehlin? If you or a loved one stops breathing at night or snores excessively then you may want to check with your family physician. Especially if your Epworth score is 10 or more. There are simple and effective treatments available. Good sleep hygiene can go a long way for good health.

Your goal of becoming "fitter, healthier and slimmer/curvier/_______'er" just got easier by using a SUCCESS Chart to plot your Accomplishments. Remember to Chunk it down for lifelong success!!

Your LIFEstyle challenge (for a rare LIFEstyle Clinic keychain) is to do a 21 day SUCCESS Chart with 3 vital behaviour changes (a food choice, environmental/behavioural and Activity)...Remember from last week's Tips #1 sheet...that is the gold standard, if you are hitting all of those behaviour's and food choices you will be maximizing your success...but as said, we want to build your Confidence, so better to choose small and achievable goals before we move on to loftier heights!

As said, this course is for life...if you apply these principles...you will achieve your goals!!

Homework for this weeks includes:

1) design your 21 day SUCCESS Chart with 3 new changes (1 food choice (Eat healthy), 1 environmental/behavioural and 1 Activity, i.e. walk 15 minutes every other day).
2) try Resting for 5 to 10 minutes a day in the middle of the day...you may find your energy and concentration soaring!

Have a wonderful week!
