"Kathy is taking a brief break from daily blogging and will return to &amp;quot;fess up&amp;quot; on Monday, July 2. She will be posting helpful fitness and weight-loss tips from Ellie Krieger&amp;#039;s Small Changes, Big Results every day during the break, so stop by often!    For busy women, finding time to exercise can be a real challenge. I know! Between working all day, volunteering at school and church when I can, driving Matthew to piano practice and baseball practice, getting to the grocery store\u2026 Who has time for fitness? But we have to make the time. It&amp;#039;s so important. Ellie Krieger suggests a few tips to get us started: \u00B0 Look at your schedule. Can you walk first thing in the morning before the kids get up? During your lunch hour at work? While your child has swimming lessons? A 20-minute walk can be fit into almost everyone&amp;#039;s schedule, and you can break it into two 10-minute walks if you have to. The point is to get moving! \u00B0 Write it down. Make that commitment and put it in your planner or on your calendar, just like you would with any appointment. At the beginning of the week, decide where you&amp;#039;ll fit in three exercise sessions and write them down. \u00B0 Make a date with a friend. I&amp;#039;ve found that I&amp;#039;m more likely to walk \u2014 and enjoy it \u2014 when I&amp;#039;m meeting a girlfriend for a walk-and-chat. And while I might be tempted to cancel an exercise date with myself because I&amp;#039;m &amp;quot;just too busy,&amp;quot; I would never want to stand up a friend!  How will you make time for exercise this week? Please share your thoughts in &amp;quot;Comments.&amp;quot;  \u2014 Kathy Sena "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
