Sleep and Weight Loss

I average about 4-5 hours of sleep a day. I hit the gym early in the morning and work from 8am-11pm. Although I have lost nearly 60lbs, I have hit a weight loss wall/plateau. My doctor suspects it is die to my sleep pattern and quality. He explained that if you don't get proper sleep, your body will NOT continue to function properly and you will NOT lose weight! So, I'm havering a sleep study done. It will be a home sleep study, so I have to take the equipment home and perform the test myself. The results should reveal if my sleep is impacting my weight loss. My doctor also performed a metobolic breathing test. In order for me to lose weight I have to consume no more than 1700 calories daily. So, I guess I will get back to journaling and counting calories! We've gotta do what we've gotta do! 

Today's challenge: If you snore, wake up several times a night, or suspect you are not getting proper rest. Tell your doctor! If you are tired during the day, tell your doctor! Sleep is important!
