Just STOP the thought train that creates "reasons" (excuses) and debates whether or not you should exercise or eat right. When I hear myself debating and rationalizing, I call myself out on it. "Heyyyyyy.........wait a minute........" Once I realize where that train is headed, I jump right off and g...

![]() It's Always easy to find an excuse to avoid excercise Next time you see your motivation falter, rather than seeking excuses that let you out of doing exercise, brainstorm the reasons for doing exercise. Additionally, I imagine how proud of myself I am when I have had a great workout.

![]() Are you missing perfect moments waiting for the perfect time? I used to be very good at finding excuses not to exercise.

This helps me when I don't feel like working out by reminding me how good I felt that day.

![]() Make a list of your excuses! Lots of times, we make excuses for not exercising or not making better food choices. If you can identify these excuses, you can push past them. Don't let excuses slow you down from reaching your goals and dreams!!!

![]() At the beginning of the week, I record all of the shows that I think I'll want to watch that week. If any pop up, I'll record them the day of. If I already have it on record, AND the possibility of missing commercials, I can't use a new episode of House or Southpark as an excuse not to go to the gym ![]() There Are No Boogymen Making You Do It
