Wednesdays to me are the crush your step count day! Its the day i know i will start early, and finish late!
Yesterday my weight increased + 0.3 kg and that trend did not stop with another increase of + 0.2 kg. I am now at 114.5 kg. Its actually a little deflating when i see the increases going back on but i understand there is a ton of factors that influence things.
My sleep is just one of these factors. Yesterday i highlighted how poorly i have been sleeping, its really bad at the moment, and today is another bad night of just 6hr 30 mins
Bad sleep can have a significant impact on both weight gain and mental health. There are some key ways that inadequate sleep can contribute to these problems:
- Weight gain: Poor sleep can disrupt hormones that regulate appetite and metabolism, leading to increased hunger and cravings for unhealthy foods. Inadequate sleep also lowers energy levels, making it harder to engage in physical activity.
- Mental health: Lack of sleep can worsen symptoms of anxiety and depression, and can also increase the risk of developing these conditions. Poor sleep also impairs cognitive functioning, making it more difficult to cope with stress and daily challenges.
It is important for myself to prioritize good sleep hygiene, such as sticking to a regular sleep schedule and creating a relaxing sleep environment. Practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing or yoga, can also help improve sleep quality.
Basically i need to get my act in order! bad sleep can have negative effects on both weight gain and mental health. To avoid these consequences, it is important for myself to prioritize good sleep habits and seek help if persistent sleep difficulties are affecting my quality of life.
Walking was fine today, big numbers for a Wednesday. 31k steps and 15.6 miles! I was a bit stop start in the evening calls but i was just tired in general!
I finished my calls late late late and didn’t do any yoga or weights. I was just shattered after all the activities today and tried to chill in the sauna blanket for 45 mins to relax the muscles but only lasted about 30 mins!
Early start tomorrow so off to sleep i try and go!
