Short and sweet today. Other than the acne on my face, I woke up this morning with a great nights sleep ( the first in a while) and less puffy, No more sugar, grain and alcohol bloat. Go out an enjoy your weekend before the chaos starts again.
Try and get to the store today and shop for the week. I have set up two meals this week that I can just throw on in a pinch. With Fall here the crock pot is a great way to have a healthy meal waiting for you when you get home.

First, sleep matters. We make ours a priority—above exercise, reading, socializing, and especially housekeeping. Adequate sleep helps to improve your memory, mood, judgment, athletic performance, and overall health, and today we want to help you optimize the amount and quality of sleep you are getting each night.
Your energy levels are (no surprise here) largely dictated by your food choices. Change your food, and you change your blood sugar regulation, your hormonal response to food, your sleep quality, and your ability to maintain consistently high energy levels throughout your day, without resorting to sugar or coffee for a “boost.” Today, we’ll talk about how those rockin’ energy levels progress during your Whole30, and how long you’ll have to wait before you experience the magic. (Not long, we promise!)
Have a great Day 6!
Sure, you probably know you should get more sleep, but do you realize how damaging sleep deprivation can be? Lack of adequate sleep can not only dramatically impact your health (there is a complex and important interaction between sleep and the immune system!), it compromises your physical training and ability to lose weight.
Eating Whole30-approved foods is a big step towards improving your health and quality of life, but sleep is an equally-important component. So read Lights Out: Sleep, Sugar and Survival (but don’t stay up late to do it!); snuggle up to more details on the importance of ZZZZs for athletic performance on the Whole9 website; and check this awesome infographic on the importance of sleep for anyone who wants to be smart, sharp, and productive during their awake hours.

One of the best parts of taking on the Whole30 is that, eventually, you will find yourself sleeping like a baby. You will fall asleep more easily, and sleep soundly without tossing and turning. You’ll also awaken with as much energy as you did as a kid, refreshed and ready to go. Amazing, right? But if this doesn’t sound like your current state of sleep or energy, don’t worry—you’ll get there (using today’s Whole30 Daily tips).
