Sleep is absolutely essential and not just any sleep but good sleep. I use to be fine with 6 hours but as I get older I fine that I need at least 8, 9 is perfect. Getting enough rest and sleep is very important in weight loss and over all health. I have periods where I just can't sleep. Every other month for a few days. Also when I keep Mia, my granddaughter, I wake up with each toss and turn. It throws me off cycle and effects me for days. I listen to audios at night to help me sleep deeper.

I have decided that there are a few things I most likely will not give up:

Crusty Artisan Bread
well made cheeses- goat, blue cheese, guyere and the like.

Therefore I think I will spend this winter mastering the art of bread and cheese making. I have a vitamix so I'm going to purchase organic grains and grind flour. Practice making really healthy but yummy fresh breads. I can buy raw milk in NC, or so I'm told so I'll practice making cheeses. I've done both bread and cheese before. This time I'll take it to a whole new level.
