In life, you either make time for the essentials or they force you to make time for them. Whenever your weekend starts on Saturday and goes into Sunday or some other time of the week. It is important to make time for some exercise. 

This weekend in particular I know it would be hard for me to make time for things. I have a bunch of projects eating up way too much of my time and I’m in [Poecomp]( https://steemit.com/poecomp/@enjar/path-of-exile-hardcore-race-update-day-2). While I would have loved to play the weekend away and be higher in the ranking then 5th place. I also know I need to take care of myself. I’m no longer the young kid who stupidly spent 10-12 hours in 1 sitting going ham on something.

Like most of the USA, a cold weather front has made Florida a bit cooler and thus interrupting my plans to take a few breaks swimming.  Instead, for both Saturday and Sunday, I’ve hopped on the treadmill and also did some stretching. Nothing major just 15 minutes of my time here or there. I also went on a couple short 5-minute walks. 

While I could have easily come up with the excuses I don’t have time for this. I put my foot down and made time. Instead of spending 15 minutes for my lunch break I bought a day old pre-made chicken salad that will last me two or three days to eat for lunch. I tossed out the croutons and will try and keep my dressing usage to about 1/6 of what they provide (way too much). It’s a 10 minute a day saving I can put elsewhere. I did not have to cook the chicken and I won’t be tossing out half or greater part of lettuce head since I don’t consume that much normally. 


I made a few changes like that for my extremely busy weekend and now I have the ability to make time for things. I get to put many hours into gaming for Poecomp, get some blogs out, do some business related things, and most important get out of my computer chair and do some exercise. 

I hope people are trying to find the time to get some exercise and taking breaks for their weekend. Don’t sit in a computer chair all day for 10 hours at a time racing to be in top spots for a contest! Why I’m saying that for your own personal health-- I swear ;)
