Whenever I think I don't have time for exercise, cooking from scratch, logging onto MFP, writing in my journal about my progress, etc. I think of this image from the book "Making A Change For Good" by Cheri Huber.
Thought this might help motivate a few of you out there, too:

    My friend once said.....if you don't have time to be healthy now, you better have time to be sick later. True dat!

    Your friend is right!
    On the days when I feel like I have too much going on to bother thinking about my decisions or to try to be healthier or to make time to exercise or even sleep enough, I just can't get that image out of my head. It's a powerful motivator for me.

    Here is a better/clearer version of the drawing, if anyone else wants to keep it:

    It really reminds me that i need to make time, no matter what. This isn't an excuse I can use for something as important as my health.
