  4. When it comes to healthy living I struggle most with exercise! I’ve made huge strides in healthy eating, like eating whole foods, cutting out sugar, etc. I even started baking my own bread when I couldn’t find a store bought one that wasn’t made with sugar! Exercise seems to be much harder to fit. I enjoy bicycling, swimming, and yoga, but struggle to do them consistently. Maybe it will be more of a priority in the future. 🙂
