• Your Mantra Statement: “I like to eat and drink foods that nourish me and help me feel my best.  I do.  Taking time to plan ahead, so that I often pick healthy foods, is time well-spent. No one else can do this for me.  I do this so I can feel and be my best.”

  - Weight loss and feeling good in your body is 80% the quality of the food you eat and 20% exercise.

• Your Mantra Statement: “I make sure I get quality sleep, because when I'm rested I think more clearly, I'm healthier, and I'm better able to handle stress.”
• Top Facts/Reminders/Actions:
  - Bad sleep on a regular basis can lead to weight gain, illness, and a lack of alertness, memory loss, lower job performance, and a bad mood. 
  - Sleep deprivation can impair your thinking as much or more than alcohol, the effect of lost sleep is similar to being drunk.
  - Not enough sleep on a regular basis can cause slower brain function, weight gain, moodiness, stress, and lower immune functions.  The average adult needs 7.5 to 9 hours of sleep a night.
  - Experts Recommend:  Stick to a schedule.  Exercise. Take a hot shower or bath before bed.  Make your bed and bedroom as comfortable and pleasant as possible. Avoid eating just before bed. Give yourself at least 2 hours from the last food you eat to when you sleep.
