Hey Team Jillian-ers! We had a great week. So each of you should be very proud of yourselves! I had a suggestion for a challenge this week from a team member and I think it is a great one!
We all have excuses, I remember one of the themes of a past Season of the BL was NO EXCUSES! What I want to do this week is an EXCUSE BUSTER Challenge! Everyone needs to list their excuses on the thread throughout the week, and create well thought out and practical ways to break them! Also, if you have a reason for why you can't be successful or why you can't work out, share it here and we will all help come up with ideas on how to break the excuse
Jen said ""If we face our excuses and take away their power we will be more successful in the end!"" This is so true! Let’s all help motivate each other this week to face our excuses!
I would also like to do an exercise challenge! Every day please post your calories burned. Post Yesterdays (1/15/2013) - Monday (1/21/13) - I will add all calories burned and see who burns the most!!! I hope everyone works hard this week to see great results at our next weigh in! If anyone else has any challenge ideas please message them to me!! I will post next week’s challenge on Tuesday :happy:

As far as the excuses go..... I have MANY!!! LOL!!! I am really working hard on not allowing excuses get in my way with regards to working out! I was suffering from knee pains a few months ago, but I do not allow that to be my excuse for not working out I have learned to listen to my body and work out in a way that I am not harming my body. I have also made some workout buddies at the gym. So even on the days that I do not feel like going to the gym, I feel sort of FORCED to go to the gym, since my buddies are waiting for me. This is really a great help!!!
One of my excuses that I need to overcome is emotional eating!!! I tend to eat unhealthy when I am stressed!!! And I am going through a great deal of stress lately. I need to find a way to control my emotional eating and stay focused!!! I hope to overcome this 0 -
*I'm lucky because I live close enough to walk or ride my bike to work - great "built in" exercise!

My biggest excuse is excercise. I work full time and have a 5 year old who has activities 2-3 evenings a week and then an 8 month old who is teething and wants mom all the time. By the time I get home I am exhausted from work and being up and down all night with the baby. Its so cold here I cant just take him for a walk like I did all summer. Therefore my calories burned are slim to none most days. I am trying to come up with something quick I can do. I tried P90X but that was not working out with the schedule I have.0

What about doing jumping jacks, squats, push ups, sit ups/crunches at home maybe right when the baby goes down and its quiet time for your 5 yr old?!0 -
I didn't work out last night
Im sorry team! Tonight there is no excuse though! I will get on that treadmill! 0 -
