Exercise Excuses

I’ve been thinking about writing this post for awhile now and figured that since the new year is in full swing, I’d humor myself.

In 2010 I exercised, but not a lot. On a good week, I was moving about 3 times a week. Yet, it seemed most weeks I was making an effort only once. But why? Excuses! I’m really good at rationalizing and this year I want to face my excuses head-on. Admittedly, there were many days that my excess sugar consumption kept me from physically being able to exercise- bloat, upset stomach, lethargy, and depression all kicked in and helped make the couch look super comfortable.

Now that I’m having a sugar-free year I hope to avoid some of these excuses, but I know there will be new ones cropping up.

Here are some of my most frequent excuses:

I’m too tired. Here’s what happens: I’ll have every intention to exercise, but I’ll get caught up in doing everything else under the sun. Oh! Looks like I need to clean out the refrigerator! And more often than not I am genuinely busy and wait and wait and wait until I’m just too tired to exercise.

Solution: Schedule exercise for a time of day when I don’t feel too busy or too tired. That sounds easy enough? Probably not for all of us. I don’t have to be at work at a certain time and most of my days are spent at home working, but there are a lot of folks that leave for work at 7am and get home around 5 or even 6, then they have other chores to tend to. What is the solution? Make exercise a priority (I’m speaking for myself here too) wake up 45 minutes early and go to the gym, do an exercise dvd or dance to your favorite playlist. For me, I like to exercise with my husband who is a late sleeper, so I need to schedule exercise at 4 or 5 pm on most weekdays. I need to write it down and stick with it.

I can’t find any workout clothes. Okay, I’m probably alone on this one, but I always feel like every component of my workout gear is in some state of being cleaned, under a pile of clothes, or in the hamper. I need workout pants, t-shirt, shoes, sports bra, socks and ipod (if I’m lucky) to get motivated to exercise. Sometimes I get unmotivated just by knowing it will take 30 minutes to find something.

Solution: Dedicating a drawer to just exercise clothes. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time and know it could help me a lot. Having all of these items together in one spot would be very beneficial to my sanity and my exercise schedule.

I’m too busy. I’ve been guilty of this excuse, mostly because on the days that I am pumped up to exercise, I’m also pumped up to do everything else. And on other days I just have a lot to do, I’m sure I’m not alone.

Solution: Facing facts. In 2010 I managed to watch the entire series of lost, six feet under, and pushing daisies. I also watched three seasons of mad men, several episodes of jeopardy and countless movies on Netflix. I also found time to create 300 pieces of jewelry, cook many delicious meals, read 10 books, put makeup on, get dressed up, work on this blog and so many other things that I simply made time for. To say that I was “too busy to exercise” is simply not true.

Waiting for the perfect situation. There have been points in my life that I needed perfect weather, the perfect workout shoes, the perfect time slot, a perfect feel-good easy day to exercise. Guess what?

Solution: That day does not exist. How we feel now in this moment about exercise is probably how we’ll always feel. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve mapped out my road to weight loss only to fall short waiting for it to feel right. Waiting for life to be stress-free and slow. In my mind, there was going to be a day when the clouds parted, the angels sang and I’d turn into this super healthy person that bound out of bed at the mere mention of exercise. And all I have to say to myself is “honey child, that day will never come. you either do it now or not at all”.

What are some of your exercise excuses?

Crack The Fat Loss Code

Sooner or later you finally say to yourself, I have to lose weight. It could even be your doctor give you the ultimatum. "Losing this weight now or you will have serious health problems soon," he said.

You may also feel depressed, which is also a double-edged sword. When we need to lose some fat in our body, we sometimes depressed about it. Depression tends to make us want to eat and eat and eat. We eat and eat, we get bigger than we were. It's a vicious circle.

You've tried all the pills and gimmick diets. Still no weight loss. You've joined Weight Watchers, still no weight loss.

So what can we do to our lives in order and find that the secret to losing weight is so elusive? What can we do to crack the code for fat loss?

Fortunately, there are programs out there that makes sense and go beyond stupid diet pills, plans for the year. You must do what your body wants to do naturally. Maintaining its own weight. Your body is designed to manage control your weight. This is true for almost everyone except perhaps someone who may have a thyroid problem or another, but most everyone has an integrated mechanism to control your weight.

Your body has a metabolism that is responsible for keeping everything in balance. Over load it and you'll never see weight loss. Under load the file and you can have serious medical problems. You can start to gain weight under load (not eating). Your weight problems begin because your body hungry and willing to take all the fat it can generate, because she is confused and does not know when your next meal will be.

The metabolism of your body is actually too smart for his own good, but it is basically a survival mechanism that most of us really need more because we have abundant food. Formerly, when food was scarce, we need to store calories as fat and then use the fat when food was hard to find.

Now that food is abundant, your body stores the calories away as fat and plans to use them. If the need ever comes to use no fat loss so you get more and more.

Some people have the metabolism is faster than others, which means they can eat and eat and never seem to gain a pound. Then others have a slower metabolism, which as long as they eat, the body decides to store fat. The older you get, the slower your metabolism, so when you get older, you start gaining weight.

It is anticipated that use and train your metabolism (almost incentive) to use your store fat and then eat the calories needed. Some seem a bit harsh but the facts, terms and methods of working the way your body wants to work. They are a training system for your body metabolism. No pills, gimmicks or tricks. Just pure science of the base. Your metabolism will speed up and keep your calories burned. It tells you exactly what to eat, when to eat and why. You must decide yourself, but if this plan is right for you and for all plans. No regime there will not work if you do not commit to it.

So. . . launch a program of weight loss, to decipher the code fat loss and start losing weight. Begin to feel better about your self and depression will also escape. It's a win-win. A happier, healthier you.
