\"Need
Need a KICK in the TUSH? Who doesn’t?! from Janice Taylor, Life & Wellness Coach, Weight Loss Expert, Positarian<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dear Janice (a.k.a. Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a>)<\/strong><\/em> ~ I’m ttrryyiinngg to re-adjust my thinking, reframe my feelings about exercise.\u00a0 For instance, experiencing that exercise is “play time” rather than the drudgery that it is!<\/p>\n

At the same time, I decided not join a gym during this time, because I am moving soon.\u00a0 There\u2019s no point. \u00a0And, I decided not to hire a personal trainer, because I need to save my money for the move.<\/p>\n

I’m ttrryyiinngg to take positive steps to move forward, but I keep coming up with excuses. I want to stop having excuses. ~Deenniissee P.P.<\/em><\/p>\n

Deeaarr Deenniissee P.P. ~<\/em><\/p>\n

I’ve got both good news and bad news for you. The good news is that you ‘get’ that you are making excuses and you want to stop.<\/p>\n

The bad news is that as long as you continue to ‘try’ you will not succeed. As Yoda from Star Wars says, “There is no try. Do or do not.” <\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Denise, do adjust your thinking, and do move forward. When you hear an excuse float to the surface, note it (awareness first), let it go and get moving. Literally!<\/p>\n

After all\u2026
\nWalking is free!
\nDancing in your underwear when no one is home is free!<\/p>\n

Let us know how your weight drops in ratio to the dropping of your excuses! ~ Janice<\/p>\n
