Meal prep from last night, chicken breast was on sale this week so I doubled up on it and paired it with quinoa, sweet potato coins, green beans and broccoli! It took 1.5 hrs to prep 14 meals and cost me $1.78 per meal this week, you can’t beat that!!! #mamaonabudget #noexcuses #mealprep #eattogrow #eatclean #results #progress #tranformation #fitmom #justdoit #protein #healthylifestyle

I want to exercise, BUT I can’t afford a gym membership. I want to exercise, SO I’ll come up with a list of free and low-cost workout options like:

SparkPeople’s free workout videos

SparkPeople’s at-home workout ideas

Walking, running or biking outside

  I want to run, BUT it’s too [cold, rainy, hot, snowy, windy] outside. I want to run, SO I’ll plan my runs around the days and times with the best weather, and invest in a few pieces of running gear that make running more comfortable. If all else fails, I’ll come up with an alternative workout I can do indoors, whether running on the treadmill or something else.   I want to work out, BUT I have [bad knees, a bad back, an injury, chronic pain]. I want to work out, SO I’ll make an appointment with my doctor and/or physical therapist to find out exactly what I can do safely and without pain.   I know I should exercise, BUT I don’t know how to get started. I know I should exercise, SO I’ll do everything in my power to educate myself on what to do and how to get started, beginning with:

Reading articles in SparkPeople’s Fitness Resource Center

Asking questions on SparkPeople’s Fitness & Exercise Message Boards

Joining a fitness challenge at SparkPeople.com

Signing up for SparkPeople’s Exercise of the Day email

I want to get fit, BUT I just hate exercise! I want to get fit, SO I will accept that my goal involves exercising. I will do my best to keep trying new workout ideas until I find something that I do enjoy!   I do want to work out, BUT I am just too busy. I do want to work out, SO I will make it a priority while cutting back on other things that aren’t as important to me. I will find 10-minute chunks of time that I can dedicate to exercise each day.   I want to exercise, BUT I don’t have anyone to watch the kids. I want to exercise, SO I will find ways to include my kids in my efforts to work my workouts around times that they are napping, at school, occupied and entertained. I want to eat healthier, BUT it’s too complicated. I want to eat healthier, SO I will start with one small step at a time, such as:

Eating more whole grains

Eating more fruits and veggies

Looking up nutrition facts before I order from a restaurant

Measuring my portion sizes

Tracking my food to learn how to make better choices

I want to eat healthier, BUT I can’t afford it. I want to eat healthier, SO I will purchase foods that fit within my budget and help my reach my goals, even if it’s only a few things in my cart. I’ll also actively research ways to save money on healthy foods and reallocate money I used to spend on junk foods toward healthier items.   I want to eat better, BUT I hate to cook. I want to eat better, SO I’ll find ways to do that that involve little to no cooking, including:

Buying healthy convenience foods to save on prep time

Choosing frozen or prepared meals that fit into my diet

Ordering healthy foods from restaurants

Collecting 15-minute recipe ideas that I can make easily

I want to eat healthier, BUT I hate vegetables.  I want to eat healthier, SO I will focus on eating more of the healthy foods I DO like, and keep trying vegetables in new ways until I find preparation techniques I do like.    I want to eat better, BUT my family won’t eat healthier foods. I want to eat better, SO I’ll get my family on board by including them in finding and planning meals that meet everyone’s goals.   I want to cook more, BUT I just don’t have time. I want to cook more, SO I will cut back in other areas (like TV watching) that don’t serve my goal, and collect quick-cooking recipes that I can make with limited time.   I want to lose weight, BUT it’s so overwhelming. I want to lose weight, SO I’ll take it one step at a time instead of overwhelming myself by changing every habit at once. I will also stop beating myself up for not doing everything perfectly all the time, and start celebrating the good choices I do make each day. I want to lose weight, BUT I don’t have support from anyone in my life. I want to lose weight, SO I will remember that I’m doing it for ME and not for others. I will tell at least one person about my goals whom I can trust, and if I can’t find support from friends and family, I will become active in SparkPeople’s Community to make friends and get support from people who have similar goals!   Next time a “but” tries to get in the way of your goals, turn it around like the examples above and you won’t let your excuses win!   Which “but” buster is your favorite? How have you busted one of your own excuses recently?

Thank you for this!

"I want to cook healthier but my family won’t eat healthier foods." So I stopped caring what they think and cook whatever the hell pleases me. So there. Ththppbbtht.

What's your why????

Sometimes motivation is just needed in your life….Eric Thomas talks about how when you find out the reason “why” you’ll be able to go further and push further then you ever have. So I want to know from you all…

What’s your reason for changing your life? Why do you strive for success? What’s your passion?

What’s your WHY???

[gojules24-blog]

Know your portions :) You can eat healthy foods but you still have to control how much of what you eat.
