Hi all~ I’ve decided these next two weeks my motto is going to have to be “NO EXCUSES”!!! I am sick of letting myself off the hook– for instance today I almost didn’t go to the gym because of the following reasons: I have work to do, I woke up with a bit of a sore throat, I had closets to clean, laundry to do, I am so sore, I didn’t feel like lifting, and I couldn’t find my keys! BUT guess what~ THOSE are all excuses and I’m not going to let myself make excuses~ it is too important to me to get my workout done. My workout gives me energy, keeps my body strong, clears my mind, elevates my mood, gives me some “me” time, releases stress, eliminates toxins, and soooo much more! PLUS, working out IS part of my job 
SO…..
NO EXCUSES” Allowed for me!
In keeping with that motto, I did take my pictures just a bit ago~I didn’t feel like it and I know they are not the best (I’m bloated today) but, I did it anyway!
Here is my workout:

55×6×2
Tricep push downs
80×10
90×10
100×10
Tricep kick backs
1 set of 12#’s- rt elbow irritated here
that was all– I am boosting so I allowed myself to skip the intervals, by the way this workout took 30 mins
NO EXCUSES!!!!!

I’m with you. I’ve made WAY TOO MANY EXCUSES in the last few weeks. I’m back on my clean & lean diet today, the fridge is stacked with healthy foods & I’ve found out a whole bunch of body weight strength training manuals I’d forgotten about. I’m starting again with NO MORE EXCUSES. We’re at day 1 of week 4 of the SSS Contest…….I can’t wait to prove myself TO myself
NO EXCUSES is the only way to go!
Love green peppers I can eat them like apples!
No excuses, just do it!
you know it!! and it works~ shut of that brain and just move!
Love it and the facts about peppers – I adore red peppers!! Yummy!
That sounds like a great resolution!
NO EXCUSES!!!
I just bought peppers last night, I love to put them in my eggs with mushrooms too!
I love pepper and eat them often. I also do tend to make excuses sometimes and that is something that I am working on!
Yep…same here! Been making too many excuses!!! Getting to the gym today no matter how late it gets!
I need to have that mindset. My gym is in the garage of my house in texas. We have been having record heat and my husband is working to instal an air conditioner. I’ve pushed off a couple workouts to help him…I haven’t seen any results during buffing as a result. So now, it is time to say no more excuses!
i defitely have been putting a greater effort into not coming up with excuses to go to the gym! or at least work out at home! i have put it in my agenda so it is truly part of my day!
Checking in, Boosting so house messy as so disorganized & tired but knowing it will pass helps, trying to see housework as exercise with squats and lifting thrown in, little & often til can do more.
I like to put green peppers on my salad. So good!
I also have found myself thinking “I can do it tomarrow” but I’ve been pushing thru and getting it done anyways! I know my body is changing and I don’t want to give up!
Never knew that about green peppers. Now I’m extra glad I just loaded the fridge with them.
HMMM just noticed this one too! IM not getting my emails sooo frustrating!!!
Are you looking in your junk/spam email? and have you added my email addy to your “safe sender list” or your “address book”?
I wish I had read this earlier, I was out of motivations to go to the gym this morning. Good thing is that the day is not over
thank you for the motivation, NOW I can work out even thoug I sore and tiered and I have a lot of cleaning to do “excuses”. I’m sure all the to do list can wait for me…..
glad you found some motivation~ NO EXCUSES!!!
A) i love green peppers red yellow and orange! i mix them in eggs and with other veggies stir fry and eat! Yum! B) no excusses! It is so easy to get derailed but keeping your workouts is like taking my life supporting medicine…like breathing! I totally feel it mentally and physically when i skip. NO EXCUSES!!!
I like that it’s “life supporting medicine” !
Monday had possible excuses for me, school was out, just started Boosting, low energy, however, my w/o buddy invited me to a Boot Camp class at a park outside, SOOO, I took my son with me, he played and I got a good workout in and felt MORE energized afterward! NO EXCUSES – I agree! And I LOVE those peppers, the red, orange and yellow ones are the bomb!
No Excuses!! Way to get ‘er done!!! I always say just getting to the gym is the hardest part. Once I get there and get warmed up, I could stay for hours. I do have days when I’ll try every excuse I can think of to keep from going but I always regret it the next day.
I am going to do a two hour cardio lift workout this morning! It is cold and rainy and Christmas eve and it is a thirty minute drive but I am not letting any of that stop me. My husband even gave me a new work out suit this morning just for today! Merry Christmas!!!
Thanks for the pepper reminder I love peppers!!! As for No Excuses I am all in! It is thanksgiving and we went to MIL for dinner she was very rude but I was nice anyway and them come home and did Legs and house work even though I didnt feel like it. you know what it put me in a much better mood and I am so glad I did! Thanks Michelle You looke awesome by thge way!!
Off today for my Birthday!
YES!! that’s one excuse I’ll allow~ Have a great day!!
When I am thinking of all kinds of excuses not to work out, i remind myself that something is always better than nothing. It usually works (-; And I definitely feel better if I just do something, rather than doing nothing.
wonderful mindset!!
I used to love peppers, but they make me so bloated. I suppose I make more excuses with food than I do my workouts. lol
That’s interesting…everyone seems to bloat differently- I can do peppers no problem. Other veggies like brocolli and onions- not so much
No excuses is a great motto.
OH YES~ NO excuses!!!
