I've read this article before and what I still do is break my exercise into 15 min increments. I've made a goal to do at least 15 mins a day and have stuck to it for a year for at least 6 of 7 days a week. When I travel, I always take my laptop so I either do a DVD or get a WAP exercise off of YouTube.

Take the Dare 3/6-13 read the article "The 10 Worst Excuses to Skip Your Workout " I don't like to work out."

When Sherman hears this excuse from her clients, she responds with the question, "What did you like to do as a kid?" Often, the answer will help reveal a type of exercise they will enjoy doing long-term.
"I want my clients to love moving their body, [and] not look at it like torture," she says. "Doing things you like makes it fun and makes you want to include it in your day." WHAT i LIKED TO DO WHEN i WAS A KID ; I liked to ride my bike and play on the swings. "I’ve tried before, but I never stick with it."

This may be true, but it is possible to break the cycle, says fitness trainer Cheryl Russo. Try to pinpoint why you haven’t stuck with exercise in the past, and then do it differently. Maybe you didn’t enjoy the activity you were doing and should try something new. Or if you were working out alone, perhaps you would have better stick-to-itiveness with the accountability of an exercise buddy.

"Perhaps you need some type of incentive—an event, a trip, a change of season, a wardrobe change," suggests Russo. "Think about what you enjoy and find a format that supports it."

"I'm too tired to work out."

When Sherman hears this excuse from her clients, she asks them to commit to two weeks of daily movement and then tell her how they feel. Inevitably, they find that exercise actually increases their overall energy instead of draining it.

Also, she points out, many people assume that they have to go "all out" in the gym to get results, but it’s better to start out slowly to allow your body to acclimate to the extra exertion. I'm always starting over.

5 to 10 grams of added sugar per serving, The AHA recommendations come out to about 25 daily grams for women, and less than 36 for men.

Take the Dare 2/27-3/5 read the article "Reasons to Eat Less Added Sugar That Have Nothing to Do With Weight Loss" Driscoll's second strategy: Replace the added sugar with something that makes food tastier, but also that your body needs. For coffee, she says, that's often adding a low-sugar protein powder. Protein not only builds and supports lean muscle, but it also makes food more filling because it digests slowly so you feel fuller longer.(Not that I like sugar in my coffee , but I do use a lot of protein power & I do like the vanilla flavor)

Read Article on eat less added Sugar That Has nothing to Do with Weight Loss

Somthing I learned:

There are more than 50 names for sugar that can be found on a food label.

Limit of 100 calories, or 6 teaspoons, of added sugars per day for women.

Aim for less than five to 10 grams of added sugar per serving........ 25 daily grams for women

I will work on my intake of sugar - 25 daily grams doesn't seem to be too hard to do.
