We all make excuses to avoid the task at hand, and I certainly use a lot of them! I need to take responsibility for myself, and most importantly the way I think.
The excuses I use most often are:
Internal excuses...
- I'm too stressed and emotional.
- I'm too tired.
- I'm just over it...maybe this is the way I'm meant to be.
- I couldn't be bothered trying anymore because I always fail.
My solutions:
- Write about how I'm feeling. Don't let my emotions sabotage my efforts.
- Go to bed earlier so that I wake up feeling refreshed.
- I will succeed because I believe in myself and this program.
- Learn from my mistakes. Plan ahead to be successful.
External excuses...
- It's too cold to get out of bed.
- I'm too busy.
- Alfie is away and I've got no support.
My solutions:
- Wear layers of workout clothes, so I am warm when I wake up.
- Get up earlier and workout first thing in the morning.
- Plan ahead and schedule workouts/nutrition.
Outside my control...
- My allergies and asthma are playing up, and there is no way I can exercise feeling like this.
My solutions:
- Ensure nutrition plan is being followed and rest up.
What is your biggest excuse?
What will you do to nip it in the butt?

I think my most enduring excuse has been that I either have a migraine, know that one is coming or am recovering from one and therefore my bed is much, much more appealing than either cooking properly or exercising like I have planned.
ReplyDeleteStill don't have the excuse zapper for this one ;)
Your solutions are great. :)
Vikki, didn't realise how severe your migraines are :( Is there any way you can do a big cook up when you're feeling well and freeze in portions? That way if you're not feeling well, you simply reheat in the microwave, eat and then go to bed.
