Add it small here to lose it big there

One thing we often hear women say is, “ I wish I had more time, I would definitely exercise and look my best”. But ladies let me tell you, how much ever you yelp over this, no one is going to add more hours to your day. And also if just sit and keep moaning of time shortage, you are doing nothing but killing even more time. So either accept the situation and live with it or get up and try to change it. Everyone has the same set of hours and still are able to accomplish all that they are willing, Its just all bout priorities. Remember the good old saying ‘where there is a will there is a way’. But at the same time we have to agree, time is a relatively expensive resource specially for ladies who have to single handedly juggle too many things in their life in a day. So what do we do, how to find sunshine in a gloomy day. I know at some occasion when you do have time you don’t have the strength to endure a 60 or lets says even a 30 mins exercise schedule.
