On the Celebrity Plan

Somewhere, sometime, I read about Penelope Cruz' weight loss regimen - basically, she sleeps a lot (on the order of 16 hours). Maybe it was Scarlett Johnansen. Whatever.

Anyway, the reviewer of this wacky plan summed it up in a nutshell - "(insert celebrity here) doesn't gain weight cuz she doesn't have any time to eat...she's always sleeping" The reviewer then went on to say that this was an asinine weight loss gimmick. However, 8 hours of solid sleep is recommended as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Somehow, someway...I've ended up on the wacky celebrity plan. All I want to do is sleep. I went to bed at 11 PM and slept until 8:45 AM. I only woke up at 8:45 AM cuz my sister called. Back to sleep at 10 AM and up again at 11:30 (thanks to my sister calling again -she's at home because NMF#2 was sick today).

Right now I've racked up over 11 hours of sleep and I have no doubt that I'll make 16 hours easy.

Normally, I don't sleep like this. I'm not sure what's going on...I've been really tired for the past few days. But I've been forcing myself to stay up during the day. Today, I've decided to follow my body's cues and give it the sleep it needs.

Sweet Dreams :D
