Excuse #1 - I Don't Have Time To Work Out: Yes you do! Make the time! You may have to miss tonight's episode of the Bachelor or your favorite NHL team's game, but that's what it's going to take to get you into shape! Get up 45 minutes earlier in the morning if you need to workout before work. Tired? Go to bed 45 minutes earlier. There is no excuse for not working out.
Excuse #2 - I Can't Pass Up on Chocolate: Does that chocolate look good? Heck yes it does! But you know what won't look good? Well you sure won't think you look good after eating all that junk food and not being strict on your diet. Think about that next time you reach for the junk food drawer. There is no excuse for not being strict on your diet!
Excuse #3 - I Don't Have Time to Make A Healthy Dinner: It doesn't take long to throw some chicken on the grill and chop up a salad. It'll probably take you less time to do that then to stop at a fast food joint on your way home. Stopping is more convenient, but give the extra effort and make something. You can also pre-make you meals. The night before make everything up so that you'll just have to throw it in the oven after work the next day. The last option is simple scrambled eggs or a turkey sandwich. Both are easy and take less than 5 minutes. There is no excuse for not having time to make healthy food!
Excuse #4: I'm Too Tired: Go to bed earlier. Enough said. There's nothing that happens past 9:00 pm that you need to stay up for. DVR your shows or watch them online on the stations websites. There are absolutely no excuses for being too tired to workout or eat healthy.
Excuse #5: I'm Running Too Late For Breakfast: Wake up 10 minutes earlier. Still no time? You're doing something wrong. At the very least grab a piece of fruit and a yogurt, a granola bar and fruit or drink a protein shake and have a piece of fruit. Those take less than 30 seconds to gather before you walk out the door. Eat them in your car or when you get to work. Better yet, find 3 minutes to whip together the Blueberry Power Blast Smoothie under the 'Recipes' tab at the top. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day so find the time to eat something. There is no excuse for not eating breakfast!
Every time you think of an excuse for not working out or eating healthy, throw it out! Your new motto: No Excuses! Toughen up on yourself a little bit and you'll finally begin to see the results that you want.
Until tomorrow, spend Everyday Living Fit!
