Time. There ain't much of it. I think the lack thereof in the past was a big discouragement in feeling like I could actually find some in my schedule to exercise. I could've easily blown it off today.
.
My day started around 3 AM. Didn't have enough time to squeeze in a full P90X workout, so I just went to work a little earlier. Got home this evening around 6:30 PM, just in time to get the fire pit ready for a BBQ with some friends. My day finished up around 9 PM. Too exhausted to exercise...yet wanting to exercise more. My wife had let her friend borrow my P90X to preview, so they were not where I could get to them. Which turned out to be a good thing as I needed an out, and didn't think I could focus (on a workout), staring at a TV with a couch so close that I could plop down on. So - I went running on these dark quiet streets in which surround my home. It was good...

Diet and Exercise for the day:
.
Breakfast: Whey Protein Shake (by Body Fortress)
No Lunch...
Dinner: A tasty steak and a salad
After my run: A Muscle Builder Shake
Also had about 4 bottles of water today.
.
I think my run had improved. Instead of the 1/4 mile rotation walk/jog for 2 miles, this is what I did...
.
Walk 1/2 mile,
Jogged 1/2 mile,
Walked 1/4 mile,
Jogged 3/4 mile.
.
I am jogging more and walking less. My endurance in slightly increasing. What really happened was as I was walking that 1/4 mile I was thinking to myself, "my legs are in the same amount of pain whether I am walking or running...I am tired and want to go to bed." So I picked up the pace to get home sooner.
.
In conclusion, you might not be able to find the most convenient time to exercise, but you can make the time, if you want it bad enough. And I want it BAD. Hopefully I can squeeze in the P90X tomorrow. I am kommitted to do some form of exercise (large or small amounts) every frickin' day until I get the results I am shooting for.
