My Fitness Monday: making time

  It's been a crazy couple of weeks- so much so that is has been nearly impossible to find time to excercise. We've been back and forth at my parents house, ben's parents house, hospitals, school, and work. I'm ready to get back in the routine of working out every night. I've noticed it really affects, not only my physique when I have to pause working out, but also my mental state. Running and walking at night clears my mind of all the worries and stress of the day. Sometimes I use that time as prayer time which is wonderful, but ben and I have also had some incredible talks as we are able to express our hearts in a natural environment. It really had become my favorite part of the day. Lately, I've had conversations with several people who always say they don't have time to work out and sometimes that is honestly the case, but it's one of those things that you have to declare in your mind that you are going to make time for. There are several ways you could fit in a workout in your day: wake up earlier and get a jog in; bring clothes with you to work/school and hit the gym right after; cut back on t.v. and use that time to excercise, etc. Anything is better than nothing! I hope I continue to be dedicated at striving to be healthy, and I know life will throw things my way that I cannot control, but I can use those times to control what I consume and when I go to bed, because those factors are just as important to stay healthy.  
  I'm going to one of the local 5k parks tomorrow to see what I can do-- I'll update on that next week!
