In honor of Monday...the least of all favorite days for most...I propose a way to honor those moments we overcame the desire to not get our workouts in for some lame excuse.

My lame excuse I overcame....working out without a hair tye. Yes I actually considered skipping the gym on my way home because I couldnt find anything to pull my hair back. I did end up working out and discovered its kind of fun to let your hair down on the ellipticel.

    Mine: there's only an hour left until gym closes for the night - not enough time to do anything useful.

    Pfffttt - I can burn 700 calories in an hour if I put my mind to it!!!!

    Great post btw :flowerforyou:

    I couldn't find the "right" socks for my run.

    Fortunately, the "wrong" ones worked just fine too.

    Mine is that I am coming down with something...surely caught from the other sickies in the house...but I want this so badly for myself now that I at least did some walking and I am still going to go and do one more workout before bed. I am literally exhausted because my baby refuses to sleep right now, but I know that with God..I can overcome ALL things! So I am really putting Him to the test here. He gave me this temple (body) to take care...so of course he would want me to take care of it (which I haven't been doing for awhile now). If He wants it for me, He will provide a way to achieve it! So there you go...I have ben giving these excuses for QUITE some time now...but I am trying to "Bring It!"

    This is totally me but it's the "right' capri's, has to be my black ones and if i can't find them then i'm totally not feeling the workout.

    So tired from walking today - and carrying my daughter a good bit of the time (she's a solid 35 pound 2 year old, who likes to run off - reason for carrying). But told myself I had to do it, it was my night to ride on the bike - so I pushed through and even thought about stopping halfway through, but kept telling myself go a couple more minutes - before I knew it the 30 minutes were up. Still tired, but feel so much better!
