A recap of my weekly workouts from the previous week.

Happy Monday! How was your weekend? We headed to the east coast for a quick trip for my friend’s wedding. It was so fun, but holy crap am I exhausted. Out flight left at 6am on Saturday morning, had the rehearsal dinner that night, had wedding activities and the ceremony on Sunday, and then our flight left at 7am today. Talk about a quick and jam packed weekend.

I am pretty sure I got like 5 hours of sleep on Friday night and then 5 hours last night. For my body, this is not cool. I like to get a solid 7-9 hours a night to make me feel my best. Sometimes sleep is overlooked in a healthy lifestyle. We dedicate so much time to working out, eating healthy, drinking enough water, building strong relationships, but then only get maybe 6 hours of sleep a night.

If you are working hard in the gym, you definitely need that down time for your body to help rebuild and repair all the hard work you put it through. Getting enough sleep has also been linked to improving reaction times, having a stronger immune system, better accuracy, and more. And it makes you a nicer person – for me at least haha.

This week I am going to make it a priority to get at least 8 hours a night to get back to feeling normal again. How many hours do you try to get a night?
