I get it.
I said the same thing when I started heading to the gym...but gave up...and started working out at home....but gave up.
We ALL only have 24 hours each day.
We NEED to sleep....preferably for 8-9 hours per night.
Then there is work....not just what we are doing in the classroom, but what we take home with us.
And did someone say we should head up an extra-curricular activity?
And don't forget the meetings that each of the 3 committees you are on will be holding.
And don't forget our kids' activities.
And we need to fit in dinner.
And our spouses probably want to spend some time with us that doesn't require hearing us read off hilarious answers students gave on our latest quiz.
I know we are busy.
But we have to start making OURSELVES a priority. That doesn't mean skip your son's concert or stop grading papers. It just means that, if it is important enough for you, you WILL find the time.
How did I find time?
I, the one who would set the alarm so that I could hit snooze at LEAST 3 times before rolling out of bed 45 minutes to an hour before having to get myself and the kids out of the house, decided I was going to wake up earlier.
Why put myself through such agonizing torture?
Because life always got in the way, otherwise.
So, I set my alarm 30 minutes earlier so that I could do a 25 minute workout each morning before work.
....and you know what? I've been doing morning workouts since February of 2014.

Which are you going to do?
