Uh oh. As a morning person who newly discovered coffee after the last of my babies was weaned, this is disturbing news. A new study published a couple of weeks ago in an online medical journal called Sleep Medicine found that the sleep of morning people is more affected by caffeine than the sleep of night owls.

The study took college students and monitored their restlessness while they were sleeping, through the use of wrist devices. The students also had to record their caffeine use and their sleeping and waking times.

Although the modern calendar counts a year as 365 days, a complete revolution around the sun takes approximately 365 days and 6 hours.

Every four years, an extra twenty-four hours have cumulated, so one extra day is added to that calendar to keep the count coordinated with the suns apparent position.

Today is that extra day February 29th.

So technically its an extra day to get closer to, or catch up on your goals for 2012. Its a free day.

So what are you going to do? Take advantage of it and squeeze in an extra workout this year?

TUESDAY, Feb. 28 — Even when fast-food restaurants list calorie counts for menu items, diners may still have a hard time using the information to make healthy meal choices, researchers report.

In the study, the scientists examined the calorie listings for 200 food items on menu boards from 12 restaurant chains in the New York City neighborhood of Harlem.

Too often, calorie counts were listed for combo meals or meals intended to serve multiple people, or had wide ranges in what the calorie count might be.

For example, a bucket of chicken was listed as having 3,240 to 12,360 calories, but the menu board did not provide enough information for consumers to determine the number of pieces of chicken in a serving size.

A listing for a sandwich combo meal said it ranged from 500 to 2,080 calories.

Below are several tips that I use both with myself and clients to get them started on an exercise routine that sticks!
