Here is a little food for thought,
When it comes to staying on track with eating right and exercising, we really need to try to avoid using "every-day" excuses. What's an every-day excuse? It's something that comes up....well.... just about every day:
"I just have so much going on at work right now."
"I'm just under a lot of stress."
"I never seem to have enough time."
"My kids' schedules have me so busy that I don't have time for myself."
"We catered in, and I didn't have a choice."
"I travel with my job, and it's just too hard to eat right on the road."
"There weren't enough choices."
I have no doubt in my mind that a lot of these statements are true. We do get busy, it's hard to find time, and sometimes we are limited in our choices.
I have never met anybody that told me, "I just absolutely have no stress in my life at all. Funny thing, I also have all the time in the world!" Nope. No way. Never has happened. Have you? Most likely not.
My point is this - our lives are not going to go away. They are important to us. Our kids are important to us. Our jobs are important to us. Even our hobbies are important to us. Because they are important to us, they will always be there keeping us busy and adding that level of stress.
Therefore, we can either let them keep coming up as excuses for our not taking control of our level of health and fitness. Or, we can recognize them for what they are, accept that they will always be there, and decide to take action in spite of them.
Think of your most popular every-day excuses and try to keep from using them this week.
Spite your excuses!
