Excuses annoy me





I'm not perfect.....not by far but what Id like to think of myself as is realistic and honest, both to others and more importantly to MYSELF.

I have days, yesterday being one of them where it seems impossible to hold myself together..... But the only way through it .....is THROUGH IT!!

It seems that everyone has an excuse for just about everything these days, why your late, why you can't do something, why your boss sucks, why your not losing weight, why you never see your friends, why why why....... And YES I have used them myself, again I'm not perfect.

There has to come a moment in your life, an "Ah Hah"moment as Oprah likes to call them, when you figure out the common denominator in all of your struggles, and realize its YOU. This isn't saying anything poor about the person you are, its just clearing up a confusion your mind has with who what where and why.
How much easier will life be now that you know YOUR IN CHARGE!! There will no longer be reason for excuses, because YOU are the only hurdle.

Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anyone else expects of you.  Never excuse yourself.  ~Henry Ward Beecher



We have more ability than will power, and it is often an excuse to ourselves that we imagine that things are impossible.  ~François de la Rochefoucauld


Difficulty is the excuse history never accepts.  ~Edward R. Murrow


Success is a tale of obstacles overcome, and for every obstacle overcome, an excuse not used.  ~Robert Brault


I challenge you, yes YOU to go the next week, 7 days starting THIS MOMENT to own everything you do, everything you eat, everything you say or dont say...... NO EXCUSES.
 The second one enters your mouth to escape your lips, shut them, swallow it and own it.
As soon as the thought enters your brain to convince your mind of reasons why or why not, stop listening, and own it.


Today is my last day in town before I fly out to meet Kev in Edmonton, and so I woke up at 6:30, strapped on my runners, wiped my eyes, grabbed my Ipod and hit the stair well in my condo building.
NO EXCUSE WORKOUT!!!!!!
I set my timer for 20 minutes, upped the tunes and away I went, it's SO simple to be healthy, we too often over think it and make it "too difficult" thus using an EXCUSE!!!

I had to walk 15 steps to get to the stairs in my building and I KNOW I am not alone here...... half the city lives in a condo or apartment buildings.

So COME ON PEOPLE!!!! dont leave me hangin.... hit the stair well.... you will love yourself for doing it, even if you dislike the initial thought of it!!!

Stay happy and healthy,
