Wow, it has been a really LONG time since I have last posted! I have to admit I have really been slacking. Not just with the blog but my workouts- frequency and intensity have been sub par, my nutrition- a few too many cheat meals, and all around consistency has gone down the drain. But why?
I let excuses get into the way. I went from working 60 hours a week with a full time job with clients in the morning and night to no regular job, struggling to find clients to fill my newly emptied schedule, wondering how I was going to pay the bills AND taking care of a brand new puppy that required constant attention. I let the so called “stresses of life” get into the way. I made all sorts of excuses why I didn’t get a workout in: too tired and stressed, I had to take care of the puppy, I should be working on my business etc. And when it came time to nutrition I gave into weakness, eating foods that I wanted rather than needed.
I knew it was time for a wake-up call. It was time to confront my excuses and put new systems in place to become more accountable. I am back to tracking everything I eat, coming up with new healthy recipes, logging my workouts and planning more workouts in-home to care for my puppy and committing to training for a half marathon (shout out to Reno Running and Fitness).
While everyone struggles with self discipline, what matters is if you are strong enough to face your excuses and do something about them. I was making excuses for my lack of commitment to my health and body, how do you make excuses in your life?
