I am in my 2nd quarter of my LPN program, and even though I am doing fairly well at balancing everything - homelife, kids, hubby, pets, chores, working part time, homework, grades, etc.., I am finding ZERO
time or
motivation for exercising!!! Anyone else managing to squeeze this oh so important quality of life in??? Or anyone else just totally given up on it???
Also, I manage to cook some nights and its pretty healthy for the most part. But I gotta tell ya'll - there are a lot of nights I am too tired, both mentally and physically, to even consider cooking or laundry, etc... so I am like "screw it" lets order pizza, or if I only have to worry about me, I am perfectly fine not eating, or who knows maybe I'll eat a whole box of mac & cheese! LOL... I know, it's horrible.
I sometimes wonder if maybe I just MADE the time for exercising, if it would help with my energy (ok, I KNOW exercising as a rule does that anyway, but we are dealing with a different set of circumstances here aren't we??)

But I honestly don't know HOW IN THE WORLD I could squeeze out any more time in the days! I mean, my hubby & daughter already feel like I have abandoned them for my new lover NURSING SCHOOL!!! LOL! I can't hardly see telling them "Sorry, but I will be gone/busy/occupied with
something else for another hour or so each day!" Yeah right

, that would go over just dandy!
I know it is so important to take care of yourself, even if it's something as small as a quiet bubble bath, but I just never seem to have the time or make the time since I have been in nursing school. I just wanted to hear from other people who feel that same, and for the people who are making the time - suggestions please! Share the wealth of knowledge!
I am hoping maybe once spring breaks that even if I take a few minutes walking outside around the block in some sunshine that will do me good. I feel like I have the winter time blues sorta!

Thanks for listening to my rant!
