Anyway, in today's challenge, Phil & Amy stress the idea of making yourself a priority:
"As children we dream of what we're going to do or be when we grow up. As we get older we have so much to do that sometimes our dreams get lost in the shuffle. Don't let this happen to you. Realize that taking time for you is a good thing.... Block out at least three to four times a week for exercise. Put it in your calendar and organize your day around this time. You have to find the time to make working out a priority. It just might save your life."
I'll be honest, putting myself first is not part of my nature. I find it important to care for and love those around me before I think about what I want to do. Well, I may think about what I want to do, but I'll mostly just default to what they want to do or to their schedule. Probably not the best approach...For that reason I've started getting up around 6:00am and heading into the gym before work. That way, I get my "me time" in bright and early and can still spend all night with my wife after getting home from work! So far it's been working out really well - especially since we're usually in bed and asleep between 10:30 and 11.
Three days down, 87 to go!
