Excuses

Happy Monday! I have a weekful of 14 hour days in front of me, plus a whole weekend of yoga training. Plus it's Baby G's birthday on Thursday- thank God we had the party already. Which brings me to my point of the day- excuses.
Seriously, the amount I work and have responsibilities like kids etc if I can get workouts in/ prep food/ get all my work done- SO CAN YOU. Everyone is busy. I get that. But don't tell me that you don't have time to work out then 5 minutes later tell me what happened on the Bachelor.
We all make time for things that are important to us. If you want it bad enough, you will find a way. If you don't, you will find an excuse.
Also, this will sound harsh but I don't care. If you don't pay me to listen to them, I don't want to hear your excuses. I actually don't want to hear excuses at all but if you are my client at least I understand why you are telling me. I can't cound the number of times I have had people bring up my training, job, workouts or whatever and then launch into reasons why they can't workout, or why they can't/ don't eat properly.... here's the mean part- I just don't care. They bring it up because they feel guilty? Embarrassed? I have no idea. When they're ready if they ask, I will help. Otherwise I just don't care what they eat- as I don't expect them to care what I eat.
My husband always gets irritated with me because I continue to help those who don't follow through. Yet how am I to know when it will 'click' for them? Maybe it wont, but maybe one time it will- and then it's wonderful.
Back to my point- the excuses are all bullshit and I don't want to hear it. Unless you are my client then I will listen, kick your ass and tell you to move the F on and do better next week.

I made these today for snacks/ meals this week http://whatisbakinginthebarbershop.blogspot.ca/2012/06/peanut-butter-banana-oatmeal-squares.html
They're my favorite with 2 scoops of chocolate pro powder added in. They are lovely frozen as well.
I am cooking up some ground bison and jasmine rice this afternoon for easy to tranport meals for the week then my prep will be done until mid week when I'll do up some chicken.

I am struggling to schedule in all my yoga plus some lifting- but I won't make an excuse lol. I did some heavy upperbody lifts this morning before my client (at 5 am suckers. You do what you gotta do), plus I will get in my yoga practice tonight after my 830 client. I did a half assed yoga practice last night then watched two episodes of Revenge and ate ice cream. It was my responsibility and my fault. I was tired, I was overworked, I had too much on my plate blahblahblah. No one wants to hear it. ;)
