Today's challenge: Just read this article!
Going from nearly 300lbs, lacking energy, and motivation to where I am today is what's documented here. The highs, the lows and all experienced in between. This is my journey; as it continues.

Sleep & Weight Loss
I am one that has historically functioned on very little sleep. I get about 4 hours and then I'm back at it. Well I recently learned that if you are trying to lose weight, it is essential that you get proper rest and quality sleep. My doctor recently sent me for a sleep study and results showed that I have sleep apnea. I was told I need to wear a CPAP machine as I stop breathing 37.4 times an hour; mostly in REM sleep. Due to this, my weight loss goals may be stalled. I found this article that explains it all. Most of us have sleep apnea and don't know it. If you are hitting brick walls in your fitness quest, consider having a sleep test done.
