Have you ever been working your plan to get healthy and fit, and after a period of time… your progress stalls? You hit a plateau. Taking all the right steps, but you feel like you are doing exactly what you should to achieve your goals. If you are struggling and not seeing results, here are a few points to ponder that may be sabotaging your results. Breakthrough the No Excuse Way!

Re-examine Your Goals the No Excuse Way
Have you written your goals down? Are they stored in your mind? The only reason you have a goal is, so you know what you are going to do right now. The goal is not about ‘then’ the goal should be about ‘now’. The goal answers the question for you, “What do I need to do to make a change?” If you are not seeing the results you were expecting to see, you must do something different. Record your goals in a journal and if you don’t have a journal, start one right now. No excuses…. Grab a pen, a blank piece of paper and…. SCRIBE!
“Excuses will always be there for you. Opportunity won’t.”

Do You Have Workout Burnout?
Are you doing the correct exercises to help you achieve your goal? Are you pushing yourself or simply going thru the motions? You should be switching up your workouts and giving 100% effort, 100% of the time. Be sure you use muscles you don’t generally use to make workouts more challenging. In addition, work to get your heart rate up and get your glow (sweat) on. Not only will you increase your strength and fitness when you are challenged, you need to push your body past your comfort zone. If you are keeping a journal of your workouts, look back and see your patterns, course correct and look forward with a new plan, but if you are not recording your workouts in an app or journal, start keeping track today. No excuses.

Nutrition: Plan the Process the No Excuse Way
Lets be real, nobody is perfect 7 days a week on a nutrition plan. When you learn to be 100% on plan 80% of the time… and during that 80% of the time you are all in 100%, I guarantee you will see results! Take a good hard look at your nutrition. What does your plan to actual look like? Do you write your nutrition plan out in a journal to follow the next day? If you don’t, start today with no excuses, and write your plan down for tomorrow.
Give it a Rest!
Did you know you burn the most calories when you are sleeping? It is this time when the muscles repair and grow. But, if you don’t give your body the rest it needs, it won’t give you the results you are seeking. What do your sleep patterns look like? When you are tired your body works against you, you are drained of energy and cravings for unhealthy choices rise, fast. But, when you get consistent sleep, you will maximize your efforts in the gym and with your nutrition. Track your sleep patterns in your journal, no excuses, to reveal a pattern over time.
Now is your opportunity to begin to look at your program through your journal, see your patterns of action that are keeping you from your goals. What exactly is keeping you stuck? No more excuses…. Take ACTION and get unstuck!
