    Twisted my ankle at work. And I work on my feet so when I got home I was not going to walk much more than necessary.

    Love that pic!

    I don't need an excuse. After working all day, I got my butt on the treadmill even though I was exhausted and sore from last nights amazing leg workout. Go me! :)

    Agreed, I never skip a workout and havent in a long long time. Nothing like cardio after leg day!!!! basically hurts until it all just goes numb lol

    My only excuse for not exercise is always and has been since I joined here ... illness.

    That said, I've been hit with this bad Australian cold/flu and I'm still exercising, but I think I did take a day or two off a couple weeks ago.

    Well, since Friday morning I've been battling a nasty stomach bug. Today, all better - back to the gym!

    Being legitimately sick is a reason, not excuse, to avoid working out, especially a stomach bug - don't need that going horribly wrong on a squat!

    I have a cold, lesson learned from last time I tried exercise with a cold, have to wait till it's done

    LOL, yep. I might be going a little slower, making some ugly faces, weird sounds, I'm even complaining the whole time, but I still do it.

    It's been too humid to go on walkabout at lunch. I don't wanna come back to the office pouring sweat.

    I got my workout in at work. Put in a 9 hour shift chasing early toddlers including frequent lifting for diaper changes. Standard work days in daycare are a workout I get paid to do. And it was best for my health that I didn't add a true workout in on top of things unless I wanted to call in dead to work.

    Back spasms and too much fun at my solar eclipse viewing party (I go to the pool late afternoons)

    Went to work, then gym even though it was later and there were a lot of noisy people about.

    I realised a month or so back my anxiety about people and crowds is overruled by my anxiety over not training my core in. I'm ok with that lol

    Bent chain ring (big ring), but I got that fixed yesterday. $185 part and labor; money well spent.

    I got the reverse situation. Today is rest day. And I ended up working out :|
    My excuse is I got up at 6AM. And couldn't just stay in bed.

    Also, don't need you passing it on to others.

    Stay home if you're sick, people! :s
