The "I don't have time to exercise" myth; also - I am a hypocrite

Okay, so lately I've been talking to a lot of people about working out and exercising, and I've had lots of people say to me "Gee, I sure would love to be able to exercise a couple of times a week, but I just don't have the time".

This statement, no matter how many times I hear it, makes my blood boil. Anyone can find the time to exercise and be active a couple of times a week. It has nothing to do with financial situations, amount of available free time or anything else. Everyone is able to find a way to be active 3 or more times per week. Even if you go to the dollar store and buy a $2.00 skipping rope and use that 3 times a week for 20-30 minutes each time you will be doing yourself such a huge favor!

Now that I have said that I will reveal that I am a huge hypocrite. In the past month I have been super busy with exams/school, finishing up at my old job, and starting my new job and I have only been to the gym once.

Why? Because I was using the old "I don't have enough time to exercise right now" myth. Which also means that I have not been following my Halloween Resolutions that I made up a few posts back.

In the mean time I have been watching what I'm eating, and I have been maintaining my weight for the past month (around 205). But starting tomorrow I will be going to the gym regularly 3-4 times a week, and I will be planning my weeks around the gym.

Also, starting on Friday (and every Friday after) I will be weighing myself at the gym and posting the results here so that I can better measure my results, and keep you guys all up to date.

Also, special thanks to Anshuman Iddamsetty and Current Magazine for mentioning me in their November issue!
