    I guess my choice would depend on how I was feeling at the moment. However, in my first couple of days on MFP, I wondered why sex wasn't listed as a cardio exercise. Any ideas? LOL
    Sex really doesn't burn a lot of calories as many think. And the average sex lasts about 7 minutes.

    And depending on what position you're in, it can burn VERY little...

    Well if it only lasts 7 minutes, then do it like 12 times, and you can count it as exercise too. 7 minutes?! Damn, that is a pretty Quick Draw McGraw kinda move.

    Sleeeeeeeeepppppp! I can never have enough. And I'm single. lol

    Seriously, though, I sleep through most weekends. I've been that way for about 10 years. I was hoping the weight loss would help, but it hasn't.

    Sleep.

    Why? I have a two year old who has always fought going to sleep and has never understood the concept of sleeping through the night.

    p.s. Even if my husband is the one that gets up with her (and he is), it's impossible to sleep through.

    I'm surprised that the consensus seems to be Sleep. I thought for sure everyone would prefer Sex. :smile: :smile:
