Excuse 1 – No Money
I understand you may have certain financial commitments
such a car payment, mortgage, or tuition. I agree that
these certain payments are beyond debate, but if you
have money for a daily Starbucks coffee, regular visits to
the spa/salon, and a closet full of new pairs of Lulu
Lemons then you cannot use lack of money as an excuse.
For the physique competitor, there’s no denying that
competing does require some financial commitment, and If
you are not willing to make your coffee at home, do your
own nails, and wait a little bit longer to get another pair of
new workout pants, then consider getting a part-time job
or sell some of your junk that you have laying around your
home on eBay or LetGo. 
Excuse 2 - No Time
Again, I appreciate you have undebatable time commitments for work and family. But outside those
responsibilities, take stock of what you really spend your personal time on. How much time are you
spending on binge watching the newest show on Netflix, scrolling through social media, and gossiping
about someone at work?
Once you are able, to be honest with yourself and stop wasting time on pointless activities and negative
people, you will realize how much extra time you really do have. Just imagine what you could
accomplish with those extra 7, 14, or even 21 hours a week?
