Trying To Lose Weight And The Scales Won’t Budge?

Need to lose weight, but your dieting efforts are producing little to no results. Most of us make dieting/losing weight a big process–a complete change. Sometimes we just have to make a few simple changes to start getting good results.

We know the right foods to eat and despite our good eating habits, the scales just won’t budge. You might just need more activity or small changes in your diet to increase your metabolism. Here are a few easy ways to tweak your efforts and start getting the results you want:

Exhausted from Not Sleeping?

When is the last time you had a good night’s sleep and woke up refreshed? For some of us problems sleeping are an occasional things—for others it is almost every night. There are so many reasons we experience sleep problems, but the bottom line is that not getting enough restful sleep does more than leave you feeling tired and worn out…and sometimes a little grumpy!

Here are some important reasons you must get sleep:

Driving without enough sleep can cause accidents. I recently started on a trip where I would be doing all the driving for two days. A few hours into the first day, I got so sleepy that nothing was working to wake me up. I tried running the air conditioner on really cold and blowing on me—playing lively music—stopping for food and walking around. Nothing was working!! Thankfully I had the good sense to pull into a rest stop just to rest for 15 minutes. I woke up 1 ¼ hours later.

Lake of sleep also causes more work related accidents and impairs attention, alertness, concentration, reasoning, and problem solving. It makes you more forgetful and can affect judgement.

Chronic sleep loss puts you at a great risk for many health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and diabetes. There are other studies that show those who sleep less than 6 hours a night are almost 30% more likely to be obese than those who sleep 7-9 hours. Sleep loss seems to stimulate appetite!! (Web MD). From personal experience, I know the nights I struggle to sleep are nights I snack more often…and not necessarily on the good, healthy foods I should be eating!

If you are convinced that you are having problems with sleeping—whether it is every night or occasionally—it might be time to consider a natural supplement like Perfect Sleep. Perfect Sleep by UltaLife is the natural sleep aid you can count on to deliver a full night’s sleep WITHOUT the waking up in a fog or groggy.

Plus, you won’t have bad dreams or night terrors like many experience with sleeping pills or even benadryl.

Confessions of a Serial Nighttime Eater

I confess—I am a serial nighttime eater! I am almost a model eater during the day—picking healthier foods, always staying low fat to protect my heart, including lots of fruits and veggies and I don’t eat in between my meals. Yeah, I learned all the tricks of dieting from many weeks of Weight Watcher meetings and reading articles on dieting and healthy eating.

Many years ago I began having sleep problems and would wake up multiple times nightly. I would get so miserable from not being able to sleep or from small aches and pains that I wound up getting something to eat (my comfort food 😊). Apparently I set up a pattern through years of doing this and now I wake up and just get a bite to eat. I have tried eating my favorite fruit, watermelon, at night. Weight Watchers says fruits are unlimited!! You can guess what all the watermelon causes!! I am awake extra times just to go to the bathroom.

Are You Ready To SPRING AHEAD?

Don’t you love FALL Daylight Savings time change when you get an extra hour of sleep? Now prepare yourself for the SPRING Daylight Savings time change when you will lose an hour of sleep!! That will be this weekend so when you prepare for bed Saturday, March 11, 2017, move your clocks ahead one hour.

I read an interesting article on health problems associated with this time change. You might like to read it also—READ IT HERE but I will share with you the general points.

After turning your clocks forward an hour, you might be out of sorts, tired and lethargic for a few days. Why is that? Melatonin is the hormone that makes us feel sleepy and when the sun is up for longer, your sleep cycle can be disturbed. So if next week you have trouble falling asleep and staying awake during the day, blame it on DST!

Melatonin Is More than Just For Sleep

I have had problems sleeping for close to 20 years. I could never sleep much more than an hour—often much less- without being awake and restless—unable to fall right back asleep. My problem was I never could get the REM restful sleep because I never stayed asleep long enough!! As we age, we don’t produce as much Melatonin and this often leads to sleep problems. Also stress …just too much to do…unresolved problems—all can contribute to miserable nights.

People kept telling me to try Melatonin. I did but never got ongoing, consistent results…until a friend gave me a bottle of Perfect PM to try. WOW!! What a difference from the very first night.

NEED A GOOD NIGHT”S SLEEP?

Chronic problems with sleeping can interfere with our ability to function in our daily lives and can eventually lead to health problems. Recent studies have shown a link between not getting adequate sleep and obesity, heart problems, hypertension, etc.

Some ladies experience sleeplessness during peri-menopause or menopause. Stress and anxiety can be another contributing factor is sleep problems. Anyone have stress in your life? (I see all hands are raised). And then twice a year, they either move the clocks forward or backward an hour!! In some cases, this can setup poor sleeping habits that can continue for years.
