Submitted\u00a0by Lauren Huckabeee:<\/p>\n

The year 2012 signified a season of change in my life: college graduation, a wedding, and the beginning of my Dietetic Internship.\u00a0 Life quickly picked up pace, and has yet to slow down as 2013 gets off to a speedy and dynamic start.\u00a0 While juggling all of my various activities, I learned first hand the need to utter (and sometimes scream) those common phrases we often hear, \u201cI am too busy! I do not have the time!\u201d<\/p>\n

When my \u201cto-do\u201d list started to fill up, the last thing I wanted \u201cto do\u201d is add something else to that list.\u00a0 After some trial and error, I learned that \u201cPlanning\u201d needed to be not only ON the list but also at the TOP.\u00a0 Taking the time to sit down and plan out weekly meals and designated gym times is essential to my health, because without a plan, I saw no action.\u00a0 Someone once told me, \u201cYou are never to busy for the things\/people most important to you.\u201d\u00a0 That statement is something I encourage everyone to hold onto, to think about when life gets a little overwhelming.<\/p>\n

Strategies to help fit exercise and healthy eating into a busy schedule are available around every corner, from the local news station to your favorite cereal box.\u00a0 It comes down to finding a \u201cgroove\u201d that is right for you.\u00a0 No time for evening exercise?\u00a0 Try getting up a little earlier in the mornings or utilizing 20 minutes of your lunch break for a quick walk.\u00a0 Too tired to cook after work?\u00a0 Prepare your protein sources for each weeknight meal on Sunday and have adequate whole-grains, fruits and vegetables in the pantry to throw together a quick side dish.\u00a0 Remember, lasting change doesn\u2019t occur overnight \u2013 keep trying until you find what is best for you!
