WE CAN ALL FIND 6 MINUTES IN OUR HECTIC DAYS TO FIT IN THIS QUICK WORKOUTS AND IMPROVE OUR HEALTH!

AVOIDING EXCUSES!
Are you making excuses for why you can't fit in your workouts and/or eat well? Be honest with yourself. Are you?

If you answered yes, than I want you to start holding yourself accountable and STOP MAKING EXCUSES! When you make excuses that lead to missing workouts and/or not eating well, you end up feeling bad about yourself and this has a negative impact on your energy and overall well-being.

Let me tell you a quick story about NOT MAKING EXCUSES and responding to life's inevitable set-backs: Yesterday morning I went to the gym to do a 30 minute interval workout. I got caught on a long call in the parking lot and realized I could not do my full workout and still make it to the office to do my BlogTalkRadio show. So I considered holding off on my workout until later in the day (WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN USING "I AM RUNNING LATE" AS MY EXCUSE). But I knew I had a busy day planned and thought that if I didn't at least do something in the morning, it was probably not going to happen later in the day.

So I decided to do 16 minutes of intervals - a 5 minute warm-up, 4 intervals of 3 minutes on and 1 minute off and then a quick cooldown.

When I got in the locker room (prior to doing my workout), there was a huge sign that said "NO HOT WATER" and again, I considered using this as my excuse not to workout. But I said, "that is life" and decided that the energy I would get out of a quick workout would be worth taking a freezing cold shower.

I did my quick workout and was happy to see the water problem was fixed by the time I went to shower. Yes, I was rushing to the office like a mad man, but I FELT GREAT after doing my intervals.

My point of telling you this story is that we are each presented with numerous EXCUSES that we can use every day to get out of our workouts and/or to eat poorly. BUT YOU HAVE TO FOCUS ON WHAT MAKING HEALTHY CHOICES DOES FOR YOUR ENERGY AND HEALTH!

So today, when you are at that critical decision point of either using an EXCUSE or NOT MAKING EXCUSES, choose the healthy option and be proud of yourself when you are done.

YOUR HEALTH IS TOO IMPORTANT TO LET SMALL SET-BACKS KEEP YOU FROM REACHING YOUR GOALS!

NO EXCUSES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Friends,

It's the last Anti-Procrastination Day of our Marching Down the FlyLady Way fun. We've been focusing on scheduling appointments we tend to procrastinate on making all month. And today, we're going to have some fun with that! I want you to call and schedule an appointment to get your nails, toes, or hair done! You don't even have to go into a salon. You can schedule an appointment with yourself and be your very own beauty consultant. Have fun with this one!

Love
FlyLady
