    This has probably been said a couple of times, but I sacrificed my laziness.

    laziness and self pity

    I love this answer! Excuses fit in that category too.

    My excuse was needing more sleep. Turns out I was wrong.

    Nothing really except sitting around and doing nothing for 2 hours. I pack my gym bag the night before and right after work I head straight to the gym to get it done. Afterwards I can go on with my day.

    TV and some evening time with my family. I'll be so glad if/when my daughter decides she might want to give the gym daycare a try.

    Generally sleep and a few after work meetings(very rarely the later), working out is pretty central in my life and my boyfriend's as well so it works out in the end. :)

    Sleep. I now get up at 3:30 AM and I'm at the gym at 4. It's the only time I could find.

    Sitting on my butt during the workweek for breaks and part of lunch
    Having my butt glued to the couch on Saturday and Sunday
    Pretty soon, staying warm (I'm trying to find a way to keep the YMCA membership going once the "free" time runs out at month's end but it doesn't look like it will fit the budget...and so far, I'm not sure I can fit a different athletic membership in either. So I might have to go "old school" and let my workouts consist of outdoor run/walks, up/down our basement stairs, pushups/planking, and situps/crunches. :laugh:

    I sacrificed comfort - turns out, only working out when you feel like it doesn't end up in very many workouts. And I definitely don't feel like running in the cold dark evenings!

    I sacrificed laziness.

    I sacrificed (still working on it) self-consciousness! It's hard to get into the free weight section alone.

    I sometimes have to sacrifice some "couple time". I'd rather snuggle with hubby when he's home from work, but you gotta do what you gotta do!

    I sacrificed finances. I don't typically buy shoes that cost more than $20, and I don't like having to budget for the gym. And hopefully I'll need new workout clothes soon ;)

    I go to bed earlier and get up earlier to allow time before work to exercise. I'm not sure if that constitutes "giving up something". Maybe just a little free time.

    Where's a "like" button when you need it?

    Sleep. I get up at 2:15am to work out and got to bed around 8 or 9.

    Sleep. I work 14 hour days, 5 days a week. The only time I have to work out is at 5:00 a.m., which means the alarm goes off at 4:30.

    Also, my Saturday mornings. All of the household chores that I would typically do in the evenings, are now pushed back to Saturday mornings so I can get a little more sleep through the week. I typically get about 6 hours of sleep per night.
