You want to lose your baby weight and chances are your husband would like that too. So why not recruit him to help you? Ask him if he would help you create meaningful incentives for you to lose weight. Here are some ideas to get you started – eight rewards your husband can give when you meet a weight loss goal. And the good news is most of these are absolutely free!
1. Laundry duty. For one week, your husband will do all the laundry. Of course, he may need some training on separating darks and using the gentle cycle for delicates, but with some coaching, he’ll do just fine!
2. Movie night. Have your husband rent a chick flick of your choice and watch it with you. No complaining or eye-rolling allowed. Light candles, make popcorn, and snuggle up under a blanket while you watch.
3. Household help day. Whatever you want done around the house from gardening to repairs to chores, your husband will be your servant for the day.
4. Massage and bubble bath. Have your husband draw a hot bath for you, complete with mountain high bubbles, candles and relaxing music. Then have him give you a wonderful, stress relieving massage afterwards.
5. Car wash. Your husband will have your car washed and vacuumed. No more cheerios crumbs for a few days!
6. Date night. Get a babysitter and enjoy a romantic dinner at one of your favorite restaurants.
7. Maid service. Ah, a clean house without lifting a finger!
8. Free time. Have your husband take care of the baby while you enjoy an afternoon off. Get caught up on scrapbooking, read a book, go to the store alone, watch a movie, have coffee with a girlfriend, whatever would re-charge your battery!
A few of these ideas probably sound pretty good to you. Does it sound crazy or presumptuous to ask your husband to do these things? Why not ask and find out? If you lose 10, 20, 30 pounds, chances are he would be more than happy to help you celebrate by serving you in some way that would be meaningful to you.
Today’s Action Step: Choose one or two rewards from the above list that would motivate you to lose weight. Ask your husband if he would be willing to provide some rewards for your hard work.

Sexual Health and Sexual Problems
Sexual health refers to the ability to enjoy sex. It also includes birth control, abortion, and the avoidance and treatment of sexually transmitted disease.
Sexuality is an important part of health, quality of life, and general wellbeing. As a consequence of the impact of Viagra on male sexual dysfunction, considerable attention is now being paid to sexual dysfunctions in women, which might respond to pharmacological treatment.
In 1918, Marie Stopes published some letters from women who expressed their anxieties about their ?unnatural? sexual desire or lack of pleasure in sexual intercourse. Stopes stated that enjoyment of sex could be brought about through information, education and good contra

5 Habits To Highly Effective Six Pack Abs
To get a six pack abs and achieve fitness, you should not only have a proper diet but also a proper exercise or abs workout routine. But to many people, exercise may not be their cup of tea. Many may have thought about going doing abs workouts but never get started. For those who get started, they may be sabotaged by bad exercise habits.
In order for you to get started and get on with exercising you have to create an effective habit for your abs workouts. The reason why we have to do this is that humans are being of habits and only when something becomes ingrain that we will get into doing that something naturally. Thus, if you want to start doing abs workout naturally to get six pack fast, you have to develop the right habits of exercising.
The trick of developing an exercising habit is not just doing abs workouts for 3 to 4 times a week but doing it everyday. Consistency is key – consistent action done every day is likely to become a habit.
In order to keep you from being bored, do not do the same physical activities every day. Alternate the kind of abs workouts that you do, for example, you can have a running session and then alternate it with resistance training. The idea is to do some physical activities that you like every day and alternate them.
To keep you going, you can give yourself a challenge for the next 30 days or 45 days. These are the minimum number of days that you need the action of going out to exercise becomes an action that is well ingrain in you. You have to do it every day without any break in between else you would have to start from zero again. Again, the idea is to make this a consistent action so that you would not start looking for an excuse to skip a session.
There 5 ways which I am going to share with you so that it can help you plan and develop your abs workout or exercise habits.
1. Have a fix time
Always fix a time where you will go and do your exercise. Timing is not important, it can be early in the morning, during your lunch hours, in the evening before dinner or even late at night 1 to 1.5 hours after dinner.
When you are new at this workout routine and you do not have a fix time for exercising then you will never have time or intention of starting any exercise and making it a habit.
2. Be consistent
Once you have decided to take on the six pack abs challenge and decided on the number of days it will be, be consistent at doing it, that means you must do it everyday and not find any excuse for not doing it.
When you are new, there may be days that you are tempted to just not do anything and starting looking for excuses not to do it. When this happens at the time when you are suppose to exercise, just count to 10 and go get change at the same time and step out of the door and start doing what you need to do.
3. Set a reminder
You can set an alarm to remind you that it's time for exercise. There many ways that you can do this – use the alarm in your mobile, your PDA, an email alert or can even be just an alarm clock. When the alert come on, get out of the door immediately to start at doing your exercise, do not delay for even a minute.
4. Make it interesting and enjoy it
Always plan and make your abs workout routine interesting and varied. This way you will be more motivated.
Learn to enjoy the environment that you are in when you are exercising. If you are outdoor, enjoy the scenery, the fresh air, the clear sky, the serenity of the surrounding, etc.
Never, never associate pain, boredom, waste of time with exercise, you will just shy away from it.
5. Have a goal and reasons
Have a goal and reasons for exercising, like lose belly fat by 10 pounds so you can fit into the tight jeans and skimpy bikini, get six packs in 60 days so you can head down to the beach to show your ripped mid-section etc. Make sure the goal is realistic and the reasons strong as they will help to drive and motivate you.
