Today's subject is excuses and how one excuse leads to another excuse...
When you first make up your mind to eat better, drink more water, and exercise you are full of motivation and lack excuses. Which is great. But then life throws you a curve ball and pretty soon you start making excuse after excuse as to why you stopped working out everyday or eating healthy. Like saying it was easier to eat out because of not having food at home, or I can't work out because it's too late or I'm too tired.
This seems to have become my recent pattern, and then because of my lack of motivation, determination and my pile of excuses I gained back what I had lost over the past 3 years.
There is hope and a plan, there is a positive twist to this. I am starting over, I have learned to love myself all over again. Today I choose to not make excuses but continue to grow and change my mental attitude first. That is where true change happens, if you can change your mental attitude and not make any excuses mentally, then that is where you will begin to see change in the physical part of yourself as well as other areas of your life. I'm not saying you can't take a day off to rest or eat out once in awhile, I'm just saying don't let yourself take more than a day off from working out/body building. Try to not make a habit of eating out, or eat less when you do go out, and try to study the menu better for healthier options.
You will either get to the point where you are sick of your excuses and drop them, or you will continue to make them. The choice is yours. That is something I have learned, is that whether or not I succeed or fail because of letting my pile of excuses get in the way of my goals and dreams, is that I have that choice.
So today I choose to drop the excuses of lack of time, being too late, there's no food at home and I choose to take the first step (again) to a better me. To become my true self.
Keep moving forward and stay positive.
Namaste
