There is always time for a workout

Its really easy to talk yourself out of working out. Today Jeff called and said he would pick up the kids. It was almost 5 and I was wrapping up things at work and thought to myself I should go to the gym before heading home. Read some email, got a drink, talked to some coworkers... now it was after 5. I thought it was too late and I should get home to the kids.

I was talking to Chris as I was leaving saying how I wish I would have just gone to the gym, and he told me that I was crazy thinking I didn't still have time and I should just go. So I did.

It was a great workout. I followed Erin's exercise plan but put the exercises in pairs to save time (instead of taking breaks between each set, I just worked a different muscle). I finished the workout in 45 minutes and was driving home by 6pm. I was so glad that I didn't talk myself out of it again and was surprised how easy it was to actually fit it in. I will need to continue to remind myself that I actually do have an hour to spare.
