Dr. Michael F. Roizen and Dr. Mehmet C. Oz* point out in their book, You on a Diet
, that when it comes to working out, most of us have two excuse cards: "No time," and "it's not convenient." He goes on to say, "We know you're busy. We know you're juggling more balls than a twelve-armed clown...but time and convenience aren't excuses."

Wind in the Willows ~ The Grand River Cayuga, Ontario"Thirty minutes a day to walk and thirty minutes a week to do some resistance training. If you don't have the time to do this, then you have to be willing to admit that the problem is not the fact that you're out of time but the fact that your life is so out of control that you can't budget enough time for your health and well-being."
* Yes. Dr. Oz from the Dr. Oz Show!

Your Smile for Today:
Before we reach for that deep-fried Mars Bar, we might consider these personality traits:
1. I don't exercise because everyone else at the gym looks like a supermodel or Schwarzenegger compared to me.
2. I eat salads when I'm out with friends, then raid the pantry when I'm home.
3. I enjoy being physically active as much as I do making paper-clip chains.
4. My plate's so high, it breaks at least three city codes.
5. Ahhh! I find food as comforting as a down pillow.
6. I like exercise, but if I have to miss it, I'm like a crashed NASCAR !
it's hard for me to get back on track.
7. My life is moving fast, my to-do list is the length of a novel, and I can't find the brakes.
8. I need a dietary restraining order. If there's any food within fifty feet of me, I'll eat it.
These are only a few of the excuses listed by Mehmet C. Oz, MD. and Michael F. Roizen, M.D.
