Tuesday's excuses

noexcuses1218

Here are the excuses I had for not walking/working out today, and the accompanying responses. Eventually I'm going to tell the Whiner that I don't have time for her BS anymore and to just STFU already.

Feel free to add yours!
_______________________________________________

1. I don't have the right shoes.

response: You're a dumbass for not throwing them in your car before you left the house. Deal with it and go walk.

2. Aw, man, my mp3 player is in the car and it's locked and I'll have to go all the way back to my office to get the key and is it really worth it anyway, it's only twenty lousy minutes...

response: You're a dumbass for not keeping your keys on you, and besides, who said your legs don't work without earbuds? Plus your brain could use 20 minutes to decompress. Deal with it and go walk.

3. Aw man, I gotta go to the library today and then pick up my daughter from camp, and I was up at 4 this morning, so I really need to get to bed early...

response: Whose fault is it, exactly, that you had to get up at 4 this morning? Let me see .... YOURS. And while you're at it, do you really need to hit the library today? I checked the dates on the holds, see, and none of them expire today. Go to the library tomorrow.

4. Oh crap, I shouldn't have sat down and this sofa is sooooo cozy... Now I've lost a half an hour chatting with my husband and I'll barely have enough time to work up a sweat.

response: Okay, then. Enjoy the sofa. And enjoy the next two weeks scrambling to get out of this downward spiral. Why don't you just go eat all the chocolate in the house while you're at it? Oh, that's right. You did that last night.

5. Damn it. I'm three minutes into my workout and my daughter comes running in to tell me that the neighbor lady is threatening to call the pound on our dogs who have apparently been eating her dog's food. This has to be dealt with Right Now.

response: You're gonna go argue with an unfriendly, socially inept neighbor lady when you're wearing a ratty t-shirt, cut-off second-hard track pants, and the weighted gloves you use for the boxing workout? SERIOUSLY? Start the damn workout over already and stop wasting time.

6. Ugh. These Russian twists and Crazy Ivans are just killing my back; I really should stop before I hurt myself, after all, I don't want to risk getting injured and then...

response: Modify. Bring your legs down a bit. Sit up a bit. You worked too hard to get here today. Don't you DARE stop now.

Today, the Whiner lost. :bigsmile:

I love it!!

For me the whiner said "but I'm tired and stressed with family stuff. I should take a nap."

Well, you stayed up too late despite knowing you had an early morning meeting, so being tired is your own fault. As as for the stress of the family situation, going to sleep is not going to change it. Go for a walk so you feel stronger, call the attorney and deal with it..

And I did go to the gym!

My excuse this morning:


I don't really NEED to do my 30DS. Lots of people take breaks. And I could really use the extra 20 minutes of sleep.


Response: Get your lazy *kitten* out of bed. You have your 8 hours, and you'll be up for the next 20 hours regardless of whether you want to be or not. 20 minutes of sleep won't make it any better, but 20 minutes of exercise sure will.

Level 1, Day 8 (consecutive) completed. [:

You were highly creative today...unfortunately I do not qualify for the exercise as I did do that. I did munch more than I intended to though and I have no excuse for that as I intended to eat light today to make up for yesterday!
