    Although during my work day is the best time for me to get my workout in, there's really not enough time to go to the gym at lunch time, get changed, get in a 'decent' work out and then have to shower and dress to go back to work, and still feel all sweaty all afternoon. And plus, I'm just so busy at work. I'll go after I finish this task... Okay, I've worked through lunch so I'll leave early and go to the gym before the after work rush. Oh, too late to go now, I'll run into the busy time. And I have to get home to the kids, make dinner, help with homework. Now I'm too exhausted to think about exercise!

    After 4-7 hours lifting and hauling on the loading dock, I've burned more extra calories than any workout I could get in at the gym. Besides, my MFP calculations are for "lightly active" and that only qualifies on my day off and not the six days a weeks I put in the extra exercise.

    Also, you know, back hurts, legs hurt, tired, bleeding, etc.

    Wait! How about "I donated blood this morning and am under strict orders not to do anything strenuous for the rest of the day"?

    My big Excuse is that I ate healthy or was under calorie goal so I don't really have to work anything off right away...

    I've also decided NO MORE EXCUSES! My main excuse is no time - I'm a stay at home mom, and I somehow don't count naps or after bedtime as time I could workout. And I can drop my daughter off at the gym as long as I schedule in advance, but then I use not wanting to mess up her schedule as my excuse. Resolution - make working out part of her schedule!

    I worked out yesterday...I can take today...(and then it becomes the next three days) off. I just worked a double and climbed stairs all day so that should be good enough...work keeps calling so I wouldn't be able to get a full workout in anyways...horrible commute home and too upset to work out after all that traffic.....and the list goes on.

    Most common excuses: It's too dark (safety issue), the pram I like to use is broken, I have a cough, my toe hurts, it looks like rain (this is when I take baby. I walk in the rain myself!) I was up all night with a sick kiddo, if I go for a walk I won't have energy for sex, I need sleep more than exercise (this is my most common morning excuse), I have nothing to wear, if I go for a walk/run I won't have time to do my chores, I'll be all sweaty for work, I've got a headache, it's too hot (I get rashes really easily), it's hayfever season....

    I like to sleep til 6am.

    I can't find clean clothes.

    I have to be at work at a certain time to avoid crazy traffic.

    My sleep patterns suck.

    I just worked 12 hours, saved a life, and already walked at a fast pace while at work.


    I use that excuse the 3 nights I work!

    I need to go back to sleep so I won't fall asleep at my desk when I work 3pm to 7am. It's my favorite. :yawn:

    My only valid excuse is sickness.
    But sometimes time is a problem, and a workout gets moved to another day :-)

    I don't make excuses to not workout. I always fit it into my day.
    But I seem to manage to always make an excuse to eat chocolate. "Well I'm doing so good, why not?" "A little bit won't wreck my progress" 'I am uniquely awesome" "Chocolate makes you happy and I have a sad".
    Anything goes.
