So u tired of being fat, but still extra unmotivated huh???????
We may tell ourselves we're too busy, too tired, too distracted to exercise, but those excuses are often a cover up for the real issue: We don't plan or commit to our workout time. We don't figure out the what, when, where, how and why beforehand. We don't think about how hard it might be to motivate ourselves out of bed 30 minutes earlier than usual so, what do we do? We promise ourselves we'll do better tomorrow.
Of course, tomorrow never gets here and we keep making the same mistakes, the kind of mistakes that make exercise so much harder than it has to be. If you're wondering why it's so hard to exercise, the answer may be more obvious than you realize sucka!
1. Not enough time in a day?????
I don't dispute anyone's busyness these days. We're all putting so much energy into the rest of our lives, it seems we don't have enough left for exercise. People who exercise don't have more time than people who don't exercise. The difference is, they carve out that time and set aside that energy, just for that workout. They make it important as reading the Bible daily! ( prepare the night before, put it on a calendar or plan a reward for getting it done!)
2. U doing 2 waaaaayyyyyyy to much....
If you're a bit of a perfectionist, you might make exercise hard for an entirely different reason: Doing too much, too soon. This is the person who shows up on day one ready to do every workout they've missed in the past 6 months....Pushups and burpees and squat jumps and what about a few pullups? (Start slow, be patient and experiment with things that you like or can actually do consistenly).
3. Now you giving up to quick (You making me tired with all these excuses-lol)
Now, there are those who try so hard, they try themselves right out of exercise. And then there are those of us who give up on exercise as soon as something goes wrong. And, trust me, something will always go wrong.
The kids will get sick, the dog your ate you iPhone, you'll lose a shoe, over time at work...these things will happen, but you still have to keep up your goal of better health.(be flexible, have shorter work outs and remind your self that quitting is not an option)
4. You keep thinking motivation will magically appear-HA!
If you're waiting to exercise until you feel like it, you'll probably be waiting a very long time. Guess how many times I feel like exercising when my alarm goes off at 5:45 a.m.? Mostly, I just feel like going back to sleep, but I get up and do my workout anyway because I've found something to motivate me.
The thing is, in the beginning of an exercise program, finding motivation takes almost as much energy as actually doing the workout. It's almost like trying to please a screaming baby - Do you need a diaper change? Food? Are you teething? Tell me what you need!
We're often like that with ourselves, trying to find that one thing that will get us up and moving. Don't you want to lose weight? Don't you want to look good at the beach in 6 months? Don't you want to feel good. Its really mind over matter or your back side getting fatter! You
know what we have to do, so lets do like the old Aresenio Hall.......AND LET'S GET BUSY!!!!!
