    Haha all of these are good ones!

    Mine might be a bit different.. One excuse I've used is: "but if I start exercising and breathing heavy, I'll have an asthma attack and have to stop, so what's the point?"

    Someone said to me

    I read/heard that the heart can only beat so many beats per lifetime, so why push it by making it beat more quickly?

    "I'm a terrible cook."

    "I know I'm probably not eating the best food, but I don't know what I should be eating."

    "I just couldn't get to the grocery store this weekend."

    "You wake up WHEN to go work out? There is no WAY I could do that."

    "You have time to work out at night, too? You must be rich/single/childless."

    "You walk to that restaurant from the office? There are so many hills! I would die."

    "I didn't bring any sneakers to work today, so I guess I'll just have to drive to the restaurant - I'll meet you there." Or if they want to make you complicit to their choice - "You can just ride with me."

    "My husband needed my help and I couldn't go work out." AKA, the revolving miscellaneous excuse. "My cat was sick yesterday and I wanted to keep on eye on him tonight to make sure he didn't get worse." "It was too hot, I was afraid of heat stroke." "I got a phone call from a friend I hadn't talked to in so long..." Etc.

    "I'm always tired". . . while they're stuffing their face with processed food and chugging soda.

    "I don't have time!" is an adult version of, "the dog ate my homework!" What it boils down to is laziness! I work a full time job, have two kids, and a husband, and a home to tend to! I go to the gym no less than five days a week, most of the time I go six! There is ABSOLUTELY NO EXCUSE in my book! And as far as eating healthy there is no excuses where that is concerned either!

    My former excuses:
    I'm too tired
    I didn't eat that much today so...I don't have to work out
    I'm only going to live once, so eat and enjoy

    Exercise.... If I have make up on, and my hair is done... I don't want to get sweaty and have to take a shower -- so then I say no to working out.

    Eating healthy... I sometimes tell myself I don't want to waste a certain food/left overs... so I put off eating healthy, and eat junk in the house.

    I always tell myself that it's too cold out in the garage (where my equipment is), but I suck it up and go anyway!

    Most common excuse other than it's cold that I hear is I don't have time.
