I am pretty sure I am the Queen when it comes to making excuses! Even though I did pre-season task 1 yesterday and I mapped out all my excuses I still found myself making them to get out of pushing myself hard last night and I have to say, props to my trainer Naomi for trying to push me.. I feel sorry for her sometimes. I must be such a handful and a pain to train coz my head is a bit of a mess.
So this round I will be focusing on the excuses or stopping the excuses! I have printed the above sign and put it around the place, on my desk at work, in my wallet (for when i go to buy junk "just one more wont hurt") on my fridge and cupboard and and in my bedroom. I am hoping that being more aware of them will help me pin point when i am making an excuse and when its a legit reason... Sometimes I do not even notice I am doing it and can make myself believe my own bullshit so easily.... so it stops now....
A few excuses I use (so if anyone hears my using them slap me please!)
To eat crappy food:
One more wont hurt
I'm stressed and need something bad to make me feel better (ok putting this down like this makes it seem rather ridiculous)
Work is so crazy I don't have time to cook....
I am trying to plan a wedding and its mental so i need a break from all this "healthy eating"
A little treat here and there is fine (yeah but 1 every day is not)
To not train:
Tired
Not motivated
Can't be bothered
I worked out yesterday and i am sore
Ill do it later
I have too much stuff to do (wedding or work)
Family needs dinner
Its too cold
Have wedding appointments
Injury!!!!!! - I am scared ill hurt myself again.
Stuck in a meeting
Got stuck at work
I am sure I will come up with more so watch this space but my answer to all these is SUCK IT UP!! I have now changed my working hours which allows me plenty of time to get to the gym in the mornings before work... two birds, 1 stone my friend... workout in the morning and you'll have time to cook at night.. so easy!
