So this season of the Biggest Loser is themed "No Excuses."

We use excuses all the time.

So...and be honest here...what is your go-to excuse for not doing what you KNOW you are supposed to do in this WLS process?

Whether it's eating right, exercising, water, vitamins we have all (or will all) make excuses of why we can't do it at some point. What's yours?

 Well in your case, Kelly, some of that is not an excuse. Give yourself a bit of a break. Not too much. But a lil bit.

I need to do something else that is very important (messed up priorities).

I don't have enough time. Note to self: Make time. Stop trotting out this tired old chesnut. If it's important to you, get it done. Is it really that important to iron napkins? I think not.

 You iron napkins? Wow. Somehow I'm sorta impressed.

*hangs head* Yes, I do. I make everyone eat at the table with placemats and cloth napkins--not because we're fancy, but because I think paper towels and napkins are a huge waste. So I apparently have some frustrated Martha Stewart-type tendencies, thus the napkin ironing.

I love when I type a good post and OH steals half of it!

So...

Exercise: I'm a single mom and I work I tiiiiiiired! (20 lbs. later...)

Food: One of two. #1 - I need to treat myself in moderation. (That one would work except used it yesterday). #2 - I was really active today so I have some calories to play with. (Note to self: calories are NOT Barbies)

Water: #1 - It makes my tummy hurt! #2 It makes me hungry faster! (Techncially both are true but dehydration cares NOTHING about my little excues.

Vitamins: Skipping one dose won't kill me, will it? (Refer to pic below. This is me skipping one too many doses of b12. If you can't see what's wrong with the pic, go take YOUR b12 and come back.

I get really busy at work and forget to drink, eat, or take my vitamins.
