I am going to start getting the recommended amount of cardio exercise and fruits and vegetables.  What good am I to my patients and children if I can't lead by example?   And for my family, I will develop better stress management skills so we can have more fun.

As a first year nursing student, in her 40's, I NEED to be better at prioritizing exercise into my weekly schedule!  I'm making the commitment to exercise a minimum of 30 min/day, four times a week while I'm in school.  When I'm not in school I will increase that!

@katpash You've got this! It's hard at first finding a good spot scheduling -wise but give it some time. I truly disliked waking up and working out right away at first, but once I got into the rhythm of it, it really made my days a lot better.

Great work Jaymee! It definitely gets trickier to find the time for working out, working, and taking care and spending time with our families. I recently had to switch up my schedule and have been struggling to get my workout back in a spot that works for me. Good luck and great work!
