I want to hear the best (or worse, depending how you look at it) excuses you've made, given, or whined about in order to get out of working out or going to the gym.

I can't workout right now because...my sports' bra is currently in the wash...:drinker:

That is a legitimate excuse for me right now. So, while I'll wait, I think I'll get into the spring spirit with a few Reese's mini eggs. :bigsmile:

    I watch the Duggars reality tv show, and since I am hypochondriac, I am afraid MY uterus might fall out if I jump around.

    Too hot
    too cold
    been there for 3 months 3x a week and didn't loose crap
    too many old people
    too many young people
    going to be there by myself and MAYBE a classmate from HS
    no transportation (I don't drive)
    too early
    too late
    no money for after shakes / bars

    I can't work out because I'm a stay at home mom with three kids 3 1/2 and under who nap at different times (if at all), it's too cold outside, and I live to far from the city to have a gym membership. Also, I'm pumping 50 ounces of breastmilk a day, which burns 1000 calories and I can barely eat that much, let alone actual exercise calories.

    right now i am procrastinating doing my homework and folding laundry
    my excuse is im watching tv and im on mfp.
    i "cant workout" because i work 20+ hours a week at one job
    7 at a child care center
    and go to school around 20 a week
    im totally tired after all that
    also i cant eat all my workout calories, and i have recovered from an eating disorder in the past. im terrified of not eating enough, because i dont want to slip into my old tendencies
    self sabatoge for the win!

    I can't work out right now as it's 00:49am and the gym is closed.

    Today I was going to use 'my workout clothes are still drying' but I turned up the heat.

    Last weekend I used 'my calves are too sore' but in my defense, I tore the muscles, they were murdering me and I'm still in pain/discomfort now with them.

    I used to be honest with myself and tell the truth. I couldn't be bothered so I didn't.

    I can't workout because I've just washed my hair!
  • Heh, and I thought I was the only one who used "it's too cold outside"

    My "favorite" lately has been I can't work out til I've had lunch. (I usually go right after classes)

    I find that I'm always on MFP when I realize, "Oh, I haven't worked out yet" because a bunch of posts about friend's awesome workouts pop up. :blushing:

    I can't work out because I heard rest days are really good for you, so I'm betting a rest week is even better!

    I don't want to wear shoes
    My water isn't cold
    There's drama on a MFP thread.

    Edit: I can't believe I forgot this one: I hurt too badly to have sex this morning, there is no way I'm going to the gym.

    I can't work out because I don't feel like it.

    That is generally my excuse.
  • I can't work out because I am at work.

    50 ounces a day?! I'm impressed!

    You're working your hands and wrists, possibly forearm, in the movement of scooping popcorn. Don't sell yourself short.

    It's funny you say that, I found a toddler roaming the neighborhood today. When I returned her to her home, the father had been upstairs and didn't realize the child had opened the door and run out. :noway:

    I can't work out right now (or for like 4 weeks) because I got a foot tattoo and cannot get my foot in a gym show.
  • Well, I legitimately can't go for a run because I can't afford a $100 sports bra for my giant boobs.

    I tried anyways last week. I flashed a group of teenage boys.
