Oh man Mike — I share your pain on so many of those things. Basically, it boils down to laziness for me. I WANT to wake up at 5:30 and get a run in before the heat — but when the time comes, I just can't make myself! I also have zero resistance to food being offered to me. Treats at the office, cookies from the neighbor, leftovers in the kids lunch boxes — all fair game. I also started a diet two days ago. Here's hoping we both lose a few! – Tara

ALLLL of these are my downfalls too! It's just soooo easy to hit snooze and my bed is sooo comfy! Also – the wine gets me. Not good.

Foods/Drinks – beer (pretty much all of it, but lately favorites include sam adams summer ale and dogfish head 90 minute) Cheezits, Bojangles (though not as much now that I'm not in NC anymore)

The biggest annoyance is my travel schedule. I tend to be most happy when I'm doing a very intense routine (p90x, stuff with kettlebells, crossfit, etc). Travel absolutely kills me. I usually need to stay in an old inn that is near the office up in CT, and there's no way I can do most of what I like to do there. And travel+meetings+long days is tiring, so it can be hard to muster up the energy to do workouts. But I can always at least be doing something. There's still no excuse for me to do nothing, which is what ends up happening sometimes.

I'm with you on Five Guys. I had to give it up cold turkey. I took one look at the nutrition facts for Five Guys a few months ago and haven't had so much as a fry there since then.

I'm with you on Chinese food too... it's my Achilles heal. If you cut back on the rice, it's a start at least.

My biggest problem is snacking in general... it's just so easy to have so candy, chips, chocolate, etc. sitting in a desk drawer. And lack of exercise generally... I blame my busy schedule, but I really need to get some more physical activity into my daily routine.

I'd give you more advice but I've gained about 5 pounds since the beginning of the year myself.
