I want to exercise, study and change several other aspects of my life. How I do this with a full time job, two side businesses, a family and a profound need to sleep once in a while? Oh, and I want more down time to spend with my family and friends, too!

As I mentioned before, I've been doing a bit of self analysis. One of the things that has become oh so painfully clear is that I have gotten lazy! A number of things have contributed to this laziness but regardless of that I now have two areas of flab - body and mind.
