Today I am feeling a little overwhelmed.... I keep thinking that life is going to slow down so I can focus on working out and getting in shape. Thats a laugh! :) I think the older we get, the busier we get, and we keep waiting for this or that to be finished so we have more time. But guess what, when we finish up with whatever is taking up all our time- something else takes its place! Its a never ending cycle- which is why we need to learn to fit our priorities in and stop stressing the little stuff.
I have made the decision (which is the most important part) that exercising and getting in shape is a priority! When I am tired and kicking and screaming inside- I have made the decision to put on my big girl pants and just do it no matter how much I dont want to. I do have tons of stuff to get done and working out often gets put on the back burner.... however, what I can do is either multitask while working out such as reading or planning while I am on the elliptical or I can do shorter, more intense workouts. I have found that interval training can really do alot of damage in a short amount of time. For those who arent familiar with interval training it is when you alternate between high intensity and low intensity cardio and strength building exercises. These little tricks make it so I really have no excuse to not workout because I can always fit in at least 10 minutes for a high intensity workout, whether I want to admit it or not. :)
Anyway... thats my two cents! :D
