    I'm not making excuses for myself anymore. That's all I've done for years and years, and I'm finally at the point where I want to do this (get a healthy and fit body) so bad I won't allow myself to get off track. Hope that doesn't sound too pious, I'm just really, really committed to doing this now! :smile:

    you don't sound too pious. I think that is an awesome attitude! I have this little inner child who loves to make excuses on why we can't do things or why we shouldn't have to. Sometimes when I'm here, I see so many dedicated and amazing people. I just wondered if anyone else was making ridiculous excuses like mine. The nuttier Cricket's excuses are, the funner they are to work through.

    I have a cold? I'm too tired and lazy? I'd rather eat sick food and watch TV :laugh:

    For real, i did do a few workouts..mostly low impact, took a 15 minute walk--did a low impact dance workout and boxed it out on my Wii. It was fun and sweaty! :happy:

    But it's Monday. We don't have to go anywhere today so I can exercise later.

    Whew, I almost had myself convinced with that one. I had to remind myself of how I felt when i had to exercise yesterday afternoon because I didn't get up and do it early.

    I had a bad day yesterday, so it is absolutely unreasonable to expect me to do good today. I should be able to curl up with a good book and relax.

    I haven't busted that excuse yet this morning, but I will.

    Well, I got through and finally did my exercise. I hate getting up at 5 but I really like facing my day knowing that it is done. Maybe tomorrow I'll do better.

    My excuse today was a hard one to get through.: Although I worked out over the weekend, I didn't get any laundry done. So this morning, when I couldn't sleep and thought I had just as well get up and exercise, I talked myself out of it because I didn't want to put on my gross exercise clothes. Several hours (and a few loads of laundry) later, my workout is done and my exercise clothes are gross again.

    I was looking for something in am old thread and stumbled across this one.

    Post-Cancer and a couple of hip surgeries, my excuse is that I'm tired and exercise hurts. But I will try to do something.

    No excuse today...I already went to the gym. But last night I was going to go to zumba, then bailed. Decided yesterday was the one day this week I would have time to cook a real dinner and we could eat together as a family. So that's what happened. I thought I might work out after...but once I had a belly full of pasta and sausage, that wasn't going to happen.

    My excuse today is that it's a birthday party and everyone is going to be eating.

    I'm off to pack my cooler with my dinner to fill me up so I'll stay out of the cake.
