- When I get up in the morning, put on my workout clothes right away. It's harder to procrastinate on the workouts if your shoes are on and you're ready to rock
- Make daily goals. With all of the chores and upkeep around the house plus two kids in two different schools, if I don't have priorities and goals every day it's easy to stay busy with out actually getting anything done. I think the easiest way to make daily goals is to write to-do lists.
- Remember all of the reasons that made me work so hard in the first phase of P90X. I didn't want to dread taking my kids to the pool and I wanted to be able to wear shorts in the summer time without feeling uncomfortable in my own skin. Those reasons are still out there, summer is right around the corner and before I can blink twice my kids are going to be asking me to take them to the pool again!
- Last of all, on the day's where I'm just really not feeling it and all that is going thru my mind is.... I'm sore, I'm tired, I'm too busy, exc. The best thing that I can do when I can't talk myself out of making excuses is phone a friend. I am lucky, I have a sister who not only totally rocks but is also on the same path that I'm on. She's got my back and I know she'll kick my butt and tell me how I'm just making excuses for myself.
Wake up with intention, make my to-do list, and if all else fails ask for help. No more excuses for me, I'm off to kick some butt at Legs and Back and BRING IT!
What can you do in your life to make it easier on yourself to have it all? How do you feel after a day where you know you kicked ass and took names?
