I came home from work today and I was scrolling on social media like I normally do. I came across a few friends who shared their progress on their weight loss journey and they both look absolutely amazing. I read everything that they were doing because they posted and the one thing that I noticed out of everything is that they made sure to make the time to work on their goals. I was like well they have time to do that stuff but I don’t. Of course that is a lie. One person has 6 kids and a grandchild. Another has 3 kids ( one with a chronic medical condition), runs her own business, and the kids homeschool. So if anything they are way busier than I am but they are making time to work on their goals. So me having time just really isn’t an excuse at all.
I am learning that we make time for what is important to us. Now while I do workout by running on my treadmill I do know I could absolutely do more than I am doing. As a matter fact I know I have time to do it because I have made time to do more before. A few months ago I was doing two workouts at least three times a week for a few months. Now I don’t do it at all. See what happens when I see people looking amazing i immediately think I want to look like that and start making plans to increase my workouts but then when it’s actually time to put the plan in action I totally punk out or I find a billion reasons to not do it but number one is I don’t have time because I have a million other things to do when I’m really just watching television or playing video games. I’m just not ready to do it right now and it is okay.
The thing is though I’m not exactly happy with my body and while I’m working on it I know I could be doing more than I really am. So I really need to form a plan that I can stick to. I already know that since I am a procrastinator that I need to jump on things when I think about it. If I have time to over think anything nine times out of ten I won’t do it. Instead of working to make excuses like not having time I can work on actually making time for the things that I claim I want to work on. If I can make time to do things that don’t really help me like playing games and watching television then I can make other things important. So I’m totally to try to improve on those things. What is your go to excuse for not doing something?
