    Went to work, then gym even though it was later and there were a lot of noisy people about.

    I realised a month or so back my anxiety about people and crowds is overruled by my anxiety over not training my core in. I'm ok with that lol

    Bent chain ring (big ring), but I got that fixed yesterday. $185 part and labor; money well spent.

    I got the reverse situation. Today is rest day. And I ended up working out :|
    My excuse is I got up at 6AM. And couldn't just stay in bed.

    I don't need an excuse. I exercise when I want.

    Well, since Friday morning I've been battling a nasty stomach bug. Today, all better - back to the gym!

    Being legitimately sick is a reason, not excuse, to avoid working out, especially a stomach bug - don't need that going horribly wrong on a squat!

    Also, don't need you passing it on to others.

    Stay home if you're sick, people! :s

    Rest day IS part of the program. The longer you've been working out, the more will power it takes to NOT go workout.

    I think she's the last person here that needs to be told that........

    All I was saying is that rest day isn't an excuse to not workout, it is part of the workout. So technically, it doesn't count as a reason/excuse to not workout.

    No, the longer you've been working out the more you realize the importance of rest days. ;)

    I was more being a smart *kitten* in my reply. I highly dislike the what is your excuse type posts. Like the "We all have the same 24 hours" crap often said by someone with either lots of money or lots of time.

    I'm a competitive bodybuilder and powerlifter who started out obese. I have tons of excuse and sometimes I skip workouts (especially cardio). No shame here, sometimes I am lazy. We all have different responsibilities and priorities.

    I was being a smart *kitten* in my reply as well. I'm working on becoming a bodybuilder, or at least look like one if I just can't quite make competition. I hate cardio as well.

    Congratulations for your amazing achievement: going from obese to an amazingly awesome physique!!!

    Well, my wife was snoring loud enough to keep me awake, so I went and slept on the couch but slept until 6 instead of 5 so I didn't go to the gym today. I needed the extra hour of sleep.

    Also, I have a huge blister on my foot from golfing this weekend, so I can't run right now.

    And I'm halfway through renovating our laundry room so I need to work on that when I get home.
