Common Demotivators & Why the Excuses Aren’t Cutting It
Do you ever notice how easy it is to talk yourself OUT of doing something healthy? So much easier than talking yourself in to doing something good for your body?
Today's post is all about common demotivators, excuses, and why they are doing us harm.
Last month, I started a motivation board on Pinterest chock full of great quotes and images meant to inspire myself and others to keep working towards our goals.
Have they been helping you? I hope so!
My personal favorite is the girl in the bathing suit with "Are you sure you want that cookie?" splashed across her stomach. I have a serious cookie craving every night after dinner. In fact, I found that picture one night right after I had eaten a cookie – LOL!
I was inspired today to write about demotivators (thanks, Paige!) because, in truth, these are what keep us from achieving our goals of losing weight, getting healthy, going to the gym, etc.

I will have to look in to Bodyflow & see if there are classes in my area. I am training in March to become certified to teach NIA dance. NIA also has some yoga & martial arts influences. Very excited to learn more about it.

I teach Bodyflow. It's a yoga flow class that's integrated with pilates and tai chi.

Hi Amanda
Glad you liked the post! I love the idea of a gym date. The buddy system really is the way to go!
What classes do you teach?

Hi Karen,
I love this post! It's so true. I'm so easily convinced to go home straight after work, rather than going to the gym. After a long day at the office, I often find myself hungry, tired and unmotivated. One thing I do that I found to be very helpful is making gym dates with my mom or my girlfriends. I also work as a fitness instructor two days a week, which doesn't hurt either! ;)
