What was your excuse?

Before I really started getting into MFP, I used to always think of an excuse not to work out. The most common were that I'd miss my favourite TV show or that I'd just washed my hair and didn't want to get it sweaty.
HOWEVER
Now, I exercise on the elliptical or do Wii Fit Free Step/Free Jogging while watching TV at the same time and if It's hair wash day, I work out before I get a shower - even if I'm in my PJs

What used to be your excuses for not working out and burning some calories?

    I was embarrassed to show how weak and pathetically out of shape I was at the gym. I still get embarrassed about my size. I'm the largest woman in the weight section, and some of my lifts still need work, but I don't care as much.

    I used to drive around the gym parking lot hoping not to find a parking space. No space meant no room to work out. so i went home.

    "I can lose weight by diet alone..." I'm so glad I've learned that exercise is the bee's knees! :)

    I always wanted to quit smoking before I started exercising otherwise I figured I was undoing the hard work I'd just done. Quite smoking a couple of years ago couple of months later I decided I wouldn't have that problem anymore so started a circuit class then couple fo months later martial arts classes.

    I didn't actually lose weight until I checked my eating but still felt a lot better just for the training.
