Day 1

So I didn't have time to exercise today. I really didn't. It was my first day back of the semester and I was swamped with campus-related errands and just getting back into the routine. In fact, I even tried to go to the gym before my 3:00 class but remembered one more thing I needed to do before the campus shop closed.

But I couldn't miss the first day! It was my challenge afterall, so I couldn't blow it the very first day.

20 minutes, I told myself. 20 minutes. All you have to do is 20 minutes. Between my last two classes, I had an hour. After switching my book bag for my gym bag, I had about 50 minutes. Once I moved my car to avoid any chance of a parking ticket, I was down to about 40. I needed time to change in and out of clothes and walk back to class. So, quick change, on the precor/cross-trainer/elliptical, whatever you call it, for 21 minutes, then back into school clothes and on to class.

I didn't have time to exercise, I really, really didn't. But then I made exercise a priority and I got it done. Not much, granted, but I feel so much better having accomplished at least that.
