Preventing the Urge to Make Excuses

Via

As part of my No Excuse November Challenge, I'm going to post different ways to prevent the urge to make excuses in the first place!

I truly believe we all have something we hang onto, we let control us, that keeps us from doing whatever it is we really want to do.  And we use that "thing" to hold us back, bring us down, and discourage us from reaching for those goals.

Be it money, time, family, or fitness level, we all have that thing that comes to the forefront of our minds when we consider a healthier lifestyle.  How crazy is it that most of us, as women, are the driving force within our families and yet, we don't take the time to care for ourselves like we do everyone else?

We work, prepare meals, wipe tears, fold clothes, make beds, run errands, and then we take no time to fuel our bodies with healthy nutrients, exercise our hearts, and clear our minds.  It's amazing how we can do it all without making ourselves a priority.

What are some excuses you use preventing you from reaching your goals?
