Finding the TIME to workout

Finding the time to workout is always my biggest challenge. As a wife, mom of three, home-schooler, work from home (with 3 part time jobs) and a home to maintain single-handedly, my fitness regime is NOT the top priority. Honestly, if someone doesn't offer to do one of the one million things I have to get done, I have to skip something to get my workout completed...like eating, or sleeping or cleaning or work... 

The best solution.....Morning Fitness. If I wake before the children, I can squeeze in a workout before they all begin to bark demands at me, and the endorphins created, energize me throughout the day. 

Yes the early morning for SUPER busy people is the answer! The early morning has only 1 ENEMY…the pillow:) .... Maybe 2, if like me you have a little cuddly baby next to you in the wee hours. 

Consistent workout routines have another serious limiter... ELECTRONICS. Limiting television viewing has a possitive effect on health in general, and certainly limits the idle time we have. Unless you can incorporate both a workout and a television show in the same "sitting". I know you have heard this a thousand times! Always remember nobody ever got in shape watching The Biggest Loser.

If you are a time manager you must prioritize your time and limit your distractions. Talking on the phone, texting, playing I phone games,and YES Facebook are sharks that eat up your valuable time. Eliminate and/or minimize your distractions. I am guilty of this too! I have set myself a rule in my house, no electronics without a purpose between 8 & 8.

I don't let other people down. As a general rule, I am committed to a fault. I am one of those, if I RSVP, I will be there barring some catastrophe. And now, I am committed to me... accountable for my very own self! I even schedule n appointment in order to stay on task... but, I am not opposed to group fitness, a fitness boot camp, or personal trainer.
