Finding time to workout


Recently a lot of people have been noticing my weight loss.  When they ask what I'm doing I tell them eating right and exercising a ton!  The response I've been getting is " I don't have time to exercise."  Well let me tell you, I used to make the same excuse.  I work at least 10 hour days and take an excessive amount of call as an operating room nurse.  I work on my feet all day often wearing 30lbs of lead and pick up heavy trays of instrumentation.  I would come home and just crash on the couch, often watching 2-3 hours of TV before bed.  When I finally got serious about my health goals I realized you don't have to find the time to workout, you need to make the time.  Schedule it into your day.  Make it your "me" time.  So i cut back on couch potato time and workout at home to save time that would be spent traveling to a gym. Two weeks into my workouts and now I crave the endorphin rush it gives me, I feel so accomplished even after a short workout. 15 minutes is all it took to burn 174 calories and get my heart rate up!  So make the time to workout. Aren't you worth it?
