This is Pre-season task 1. This task requires me to take full responsibility for myself & outline the excuses I've used in the past to escape working out & healthy eating. I then have to figure out ways to overcome these excuses (& hopefully apply these solutions in real life).
My Internal Excuses: I'm too tired to work out, I don't feel like it, I worked out enough earlier in the week, I need something with sugar in it to perk me up, I'm already at a healthy weight & I've worked so hard I deserve a treat.
Solutions: Exercising will probably make me feel better, the more I do the better I'll look. I probably feel run down in the first place because I've been eating sugary foods & I could save money by not buying them to purchase a more fitting treat (book or perhaps video game). Though I am at a healthy weight I'm not happy with the way I look so I should keep trying.
External Excuses (within my control): I can't work out because I have a report/assignment to complete, I don't have enough time to work out or cook & it's too hot/dark/cold outside to go for a walk.
Solutions: I could use exercise to clear my head as a break from study. I've already proven that I have enough time to cook so therefore I can find the time to exercise as well. I could always pre-plan my schedule to allow myself more workout time. If it's too cold/hot/dark I could walk at the gym instead.
External Excuses (outside my control): The only one I can think of is getting sick & being unable to work out.
Solutions: I should still rest while I'm sick but I can keep eating healthy foods while sick. Once I've recovered I should get straight back to the gym instead of putting it off.
