When it comes to the matter of health and fitness, people will always come up with a boatload of excuses on why they’re stuck with an unhealthy lifestyle. So what is the number one excuse that people make as to why they can’t make time for exercise? Lack of time! Some of the most common excuses go, “I want to exercise and eat well but I just don’t have the time because of work” or “I work 9 to 5, so it’s impossible to squeeze in some time for the gym.” Are you that kind of person?

Regardless of how busy you are I can assure you that there’s someone working out right now that is even busier than you are. Exercising and eating right is not about having time but “making time.” Here are some tips to help you adjust your schedule to allow time for a healthier lifestyle.
Wake Up Earlier
Can’t find time or too tired to work out after your work shift? That’s no problem because you can always do it right before you go to work. Of course to accomplish this, you will need to wake up 30 minutes or an hour earlier so you can get your sweat on. Exercising in the morning has numerous benefits like boosting energy, regulating appetite, and best of all, your exercise routine is checked off from your to-do list first thing in the morning. Make sure that you have enough sleep, so go to bed earlier as well.
Commit to the Paleo Diet
Many people are claiming to have no time to really commit themselves to a healthier diet. They constantly go out to eat and rely on comfort foods to get them through the week. The paleo diet is a great way to eat healthier and really help energize our bodies. The paleo diet revolves around eating natural unprocessed foods. These foods are full of vitamins, minerals, protein , you name it. What they are lacking, is all of the chemicals and sodium that processed foods come with. Not only will you feel better about your eating habits, but you will also feel more energized and as a result your workouts and self-motivation will improve as well.

Learn to Say No
Evaluate your schedule, priorities and responsibilities. You should be able to find some activities or engagements that perhaps, you can do without. Do you really need to spend time with your buddies on poker night? Do you really have to attend that upcoming fundraiser? Or that baby shower for your distant cousin’s child? Take on that extra assignment at work? Keep in mind that you can always no and there’s nothing wrong with it. We all have our obligations but it’s your obligation to keep yourself healthy as well.
It’s time to stop making excuses and really commit you body to a healthy lifestyle. By pairing exercise and the paleo diet together, this should give you the nudge to start living healthier.
