So, where did the time go?

Well, last Sunday I made a post about what I did with my time and do I actually have the time in my day. I do. I just have to cut out the crap.

I've slept 32 hours in the last 6 nights.

I've spent 45 hours at work.

I've spent 4 hours grading papers.

I've spent 5 hours in travel time.

I've spent 3 hours being crafty making my daughter's Halloween costume.

I've spent 19 hours on my phone.

I've spent 8 hours with my family.

I've spent 2 hours getting ready in the morning. 

The other 2 hours were probably dinner, journal writing, or something that doesn't take much time. 

So where is the time to work out? All of those hours adds up to a total of 5 days. Work and all that comes with it is non-negotiable. All that time on my phone is right before going to bed making sure I don't fall asleep with my baby or me waking up in the middle of the night (yeah, I know, it's a bad habit!) Usually by the time I get home so I can exercise, it's dark. 

So where does the reasoning end and I say, taking care of my health is non-negotiable too? I'm the heaviest I've ever been minus 2 lbs. It's time to make those changes because I need a healthier life! 

So I guess I will start with my phone and go from there... In fact, I'll make a SMART goal. Not sure what that is, check below! 

I will limit my phone usage to 2 hours a day or 14 hours a week starting today: Saturday 10/25/14. 

I know it's a lot, but I do not have internet at home so it's how I blog, get crafty/dinner ideas from Pinterest, and stay connected with family, friends, coworkers, and news through social media and email. That still leaves me with at least 5 hours a week to exercise! 

How did you do with the challenge this week? What do you need to shed out of your life? Leave a comment below! 

How much time do you have?

I was inspired by this picture I saw on Pinterest. The website it originates from is http://theberry.com/2014/04/15/daily-motivation-25-photos-449/

How many hours a week am I wasting? I decided to calculate my hours since I clock more than 40 hours at work.

68 hours is a lot of time left in a week. I'm pretty sure I know where most of my week goes... Driving, spending time with family, and being on my phone (Facebook, Pinterest, Internet). That's a lot of time that I have available to be productive! Ultimately, I want to make an overall lifestyle change. It will be difficult to do if I'm stressed and if I waste my time. So my challenge this week is to track (physically write down) what I am doing with my time. Hopefully I can make some positive changes happen and if you join me, maybe you can too!
