23 HOURS

Friday, 24 February 2012

So, what are you going to do with the 23

hours you have today? If you're a student, I hope you

got your homework done last night before heading to

class this morning. If you're a stay-at-home mom, you

probably had to make breakfast for the kids before

starting your own busy day at the house. If you're a

working mom or dad, it may mean fighting traffic on

your way to work.

You've got 23 whole hours

to do all the things you need to do today.

And once you've gotten your day started, I know, there

are endless things you have to get done before turning

in for bed tonight. But not to worry, you'll get them

all done. Hey, after all, you've got 23 whole hours

to do them.

LOL. Oh, I know what you're thinking. What is

talking about with this whole 23-hour thing? Doesn't

he know...there're twenty-four hours in a

day? Well...h-e-l-l-o-o! Of course I do. But

I want you to hear me out on this.

So many people tell me, I

have so little time to get things done in my life. Lots of

days, I have to skip my workouts because I've simply

got to many other things to do. Now hold it

right there! A minute ago, you all wanted to remind

me that there are 24

hours in a

day, not just 23. But I was taking that hour from you

on purpose. Well actually, I was only borrowing it

because I'm giving it back to you right now.

If you make that one

hour-a-day for your workouts, it leaves you 23 hours

to do everything else in your busy days.

Okay, now that I've given back your one hour, know

what I want you to do with it? EXERCISE,

that's what! My point is, if you make that one

hour-a-day commitment for your workouts, it still

leaves you 23 hours to do everything else in your busy

days. And may I tell you something? Taking the time

to get your workouts in will give you the energy and

focus you'll need to get all of the things

you need to get done today...done!

People who workout regularly tend to have more energy

throughout the day. They feel better about themselves

and are much more focused. That feel-good feeling,

that positive attitude they get from working out stays

with them...all day long!

Stop it with the I don't

have time excuse

for not getting your workouts done.

So please, stop it with the I don't

have time excuse

for not getting your workouts done. I've always said,

since we eat everyday...it just makes good sense for

us to exercise everyday, too.

Take that one hour out of the day to get your workouts

in. Trust me, you'll feel better, work better and

look better, too. And remember, after that one-hour

workout, you'll still have 23 hours left to do all

of the things you need to get done.

Love,
