When trying to lose weight, have you ever consider getting less sleep because you will burn more calories awake than sleeping? It seems logical, but it is a false assumption. A good night of sleep (as in restful 7 hours) actually does more to help with your weight loss goals than staying awake for an extra 2 hours. Are you interested in a 33 pound weight gain?

Like I said in my previous post about a brighter future, my husband and I are doing some pregnancy planning. Ok, I am the one officially thinking about pregnancy planning. My husband figures that we both have jobs, we both are ready to have children, so what is there to plan?
All you mothers out there, isn’t tons of things to think about? Just off the top of my head, I have at least a handful of questions.

Before my car accident a few years ago, the question of “quality of life” bears no meaning. All that matters was that I could fit into my skinny jeans. My body did not protest when I put it into motion after hours of inactivity without a proper warm-up. It could be that I am getting older.

Recently I got a couple of comments from readers asking about how to start exercising in their 60s. One feel that most gyms are not made for sedentary people in their age group. And the other reader, though active, feels that she needs to add some strength training and flexibility to her walking. They both understand that they need to exercise, but the “how to exercise” in their 60s remains a mystery to them.

As many of my readers know, I am fascinated by the differences in between women vs. men. I love my husband. Though he is my best friend and we have similar values and viewpoints, sometimes I think he is a stranger. How much of that difference is in our head?
