Fat Loss and Excuses – Bringing Yours Out Into The Open
We’ve all done it before. Usually it’s when there’s some big dinner sitting in front of us or a piece of pie that is just too hard to resist. The words, “I’m going to start my diet tomorrow” come stumbling out of our mouth while we dig into whatever is in front of us.
On the flip side, it might come first thing in the morning when your alarm clock rudely awakens you at 5:00 AM sharp for your supposed-to-be morning workout. Lying in bed you debate it (hey, at least you gave it a fair shot), and decided your warm bed was a much better option at that point.
Whatever your particular instance is, it’s important to identify your fat loss excuses and bring them out into the open. You can’t beat something when you don’t know exactly what it is, so identification is the first step.
Figuring Out Your Excuse
First, you need to ask yourself when you are most often to use an excuse. Is it when you are tired? When you are pressed for time? When you don’t have any quick, healthy food in the house and are already starving?
Identifying this will help you figure out what you can then do to change your circumstances.
Finding Solutions
For example, if you always find an excuse to skip your workout when you’re tired, you might want to consider moving your workouts to a point in the day when you aren’t as tired.
If you’re always turning to an excuse when you’re pressed for time, have a good honest look at your schedule and figure out what could possibly go in order for you to be able to make more time for your workouts.
If you never cook because you’re already starving when you get home, consider pre-preparing a big batch of certain meals and freezing them so they can be warmed up in minutes – faster than it takes you to order in.
While the onus is on you for using the excuse in the first place, having a look at (if any) situation factors that may be present can guide you to finding a solution.
Sometimes it’s simply a matter of you not being so lazy. But other times, there are small tweaks you can make to your lifestyle that make it much less likely that you’ll turn to that excuse in the first place.
