Disclaimer: This post is not for everyone, but if it strikes a chord I’m probably talking about you.

This is tough love, people, so enough with all the whining about, “I don’t have time to exercise because…..”

Blah blah blah! Yes, you DO have time.

You can find the time when you pinpoint where you are WASTING time. But get ready to sacrifice some of your time-wasting indulgences. It’s all in the name of deflated fat cells.

Assess Yourself

Do you whine because there’s no time for fitness, but you have plenty of time for:

• Couch-azz-ing: I love to fuse my azz to the couch and not get up at all, but I limit it to Friday nights. One time I elected to be extra lazy and NOT get my azz up even though I knew I was sitting on the remote. Make Couch-azz-ing a treat, not a habit.

• Toe-picking ‘n stuff: Think you’re too cute to lift weights because you just got your nails done? Or how about the hair-do; don’t want to sweat it out? It’s okay to be a Diva and make yourself pretty, but what about your health? Don’t ya wanna make THAT pretty too?

• Gossip-girling: Always a busy-body in someone else’s business? Unless it’s celebrity gossip, quit yappin’ about others. Gossip creates drama. And drama will distract you from doing something productive. Like exercising. Or holding down a job.

• Computer-clicking: This is a tough one. Josie is guilty.

• TV-watching: Part of the Couch-azz category, except you do it watching TV. So maybe you could unfuse your azz from the couch during commercial breaks and do some push-ups or something.

• Nit-picking: Quit fussing and complaining about what someone else is NOT doing and start focusing on what YOU should be doing. Oh wait…am I nit-picking right now?

• Baby-excuse-ing: Are you a baby-momma with a whole lotta drama ’cause your kid won’t let you exercise? Strap it on your back and run ’round the house with it. Use it as a curl bar. Do some squats while you hug it close. Or just wake up early and get it done while it slumbers. I’m a 4-time baby-momma so I know the ropes. (and sorry for calling your baby an “it”)

• Lazy-dazing: If you’re so tired that you need to laze around all the time, maybe you should take your azz to bed earlier or quit hanging at the bar until 2 a.m.

• Day-dreaming: Twirling your hair as you stare at the chick in fitness magazine, wishing you had her thighs, will NOT get you a pair. Unless you have cash for liposuction. Then you can have her thighs with the quickness.

• Over-sleeping: Please get the hell out of bed.

• Blog-bashing: Some people just love to have those ugly-heated debates and argue in blog comments. If that energy were transformed into exercise, you’d be unstoppable.

• Hee-hawing: Oh wait. You can do this one. It burns 99 calories per minute. I proved it over here.

So you see, there really is time to exercise. Are you a former offender? Or do you need time-waster rehab right now?
