Ok - time to list all of my excuses. I had a look at last rounds excuses, and I have to say that I don't really use some of them anymore - how cool is that!!!
Internal Excuses
I'm too tired
I'm too lazy
I won't finish it, why bother?
I need more sleep
I can't be bothered cooking/I'll just buy food
I just want to relax
I'm too sore from exercise
I'll start again later
But, I love chocolate - one piece won't hurt
I should be able to eat the 'fun' stuff too - what's life without living?
I can't be bothered driving to Canberra
I'm too scared to swim
My work is too physical
I can’t go to the gym today, it’s going to hurt and I’ll be too tired and tomorrow
Working out too much stresses me
Solutions
Go to bed earlier - you don't need to wait up with B before you can go to bed
Just get up earlier and go to the gym - you already know you can do it!
You are only as lazy as you allow yourself to be
You can finish it, only you can do it - and you have done it before!
Making lunch/breakfast/dinner won't take as long as you think
If you do the exercise int he mornings, then you can relaz int he afternoons
The best cure for muscle soreness is another (gentle) workout
Start again now
One piece makes all the difference, once you start you can't stop
What's life without being happy? Take care of your body
Pick which workouts you will go to, you don't have to go to them all - make the effort
Find a swimming teacher - you have already started, follow through and you won't be too scared
Exercise in the mornings, then you don't need to worry about it - consider work as a bonus workout
Just go to the gym. It's gonna hurt anyway, just do it now and then you don't need to worry about it!
Have a schedule - work out times, uni times and work times - PLAN!
External Excuses (Within My Control)
When I am at someone else's house for dinner I need to eat everything they serve
There is a morning tea at work
There is dinner on at work (staff meetings) which is always pizza
There is a big uni assignment coming up, I'll skip the workout and just work on the assignment
Solutions
Make the best choice you can. If possible, eat before you go.
There is fruit on the table, eat that
Take in an extra meal for dinner, or eat before you go.
Time management - don't leave the assignment until the last minute. Also, exercise is good at getting you thinking.
External Excuses (Outside My Control)
I get migraines
I get sick
Solutions
Don't eat crap, keep it clean and just keep going. You can't do anything about them, just do the best you can.
