From time to time, we've all let our excuses get the best of us. Willpower can only last so long, and sometimes, the craziness of this thing called LIFE simply wins against our desires to eat right or exercise. If you're reading this, maybe you've let an excuse or two get in the way of your healthy lifestyle goals recently. If you're ready for your goals and dreams to take priority and win against even your toughest excuses, look no further.
The next time a "but" gets in the way of your goals, change your thoughts to one of these NEW phrases to regain control and stay on track.
I want to exercise, BUT I can't afford a gym membership.
I want to exercise, SO I'll come up with a list of free and low-cost workout options like:
at-home workout ideas/online videos
Walking, running or biking outside
I want to run/walk, BUT it's too [cold, rainy, hot, snowy, windy] outside.
I want to run/walk, SO I'll plan my runs around the days and times with the best weather, and invest in a few pieces of running gear that make running/walking more comfortable. If all else fails, I'll come up with an alternative workout I can do indoors, whether running/walking on the treadmill or something else.
I want to work out, BUT I have [bad knees, a bad back, an injury, chronic pain].
I want to work out, SO I'll make an appointment with my doctor and/or physical therapist to find out exactly what I can do safely and without pain.
I know I should exercise, BUT I don't know how to get started.
I know I should exercise, SO I'll do everything in my power to educate myself on what to do and how to get started.
I want to get fit, BUT I just hate exercise!
I want to get fit, SO I will accept that my goal involves exercising. I will do my best to keep trying new workout ideas until I find something that I do enjoy!
I do want to work out, BUT I am just too busy.
I do want to work out, SO I will make it a priority while cutting back on other things that aren't as important to me. I will find 10-minute chunks of time that I can dedicate to exercise each day.

QOTD: have you every used any of these excuses not to workout ? Can you see any ways to turn around your thinking ?
