It is so easy to get caught up in the day and then it's late and you haven't exercised at all. Best plan is to workout in the morning. I try to get up by 6 and get to the gym for about 20 minutes of weights. I sometimes will put in more weight time but even just 20 minutes really feels great. You can get a body part of two like chest and back in 20 minutes if you speed up you reps and don't rest much between sets. It doesn't feel like cardio but you get a great pump.
If I can't get to the gym I will jump on the Life Cycle or bike at home; two great investments I have made that give me no excuse when I I don't want to go to the gym
Tonight I had some computer work to do and stayed focused for a bit and felt like I deserved some ice cream. I had alot of support from the family but instead I worked out with youngest son who is battling a weight problem and then played ping pong with my other son.
What a great choice! I feel euphoric and have no guilt. I like this feeling much better.

Are you wasting time? Stop googling and start living.
I waste a lot of time. I google trivial things. I read google news. I know a lot of stuff. Useless stuff. . Time is so precious and yet I just squander it away. It didn't matter that much when I was young because time just didn't fly by like it does now. Weeks feel like days now.
I figure now that I am 50 if I am lucky I could make it to 75-80 based on my family tree. I have longevity on my moms side but my mother has Alzheimer at 73 so her quality of life has dropped significantly. My dad's side all live into the late 70's or early 80's. My math says I have used up about two thirds of the quality years. Hey the facts are friendly!
I feel pretty healthy and I am more active than most people half my age. I work out and I love to hike on weekends. Funny thing; when I hike on weekends I see a ton of people much older than me hiking so I know I can hike for a long time as long as my knees hold out.
It is easy to blow several hours a day watching TV and surfing the web. When I do that I feel like I have to catch on business stuff and I end up doing that on weekends which then blows my weekend. Instead I am going to get my work done during the week so that I can do more on the weekend. No more wasting time. I want to write a book and yet I never write. Instead I google!
No more wasting time! I can do that when I'm dead.
