Here is a quick sampling of some of the ones that I use:
- It's too cold
- It's too hot
- The kids need me around at bedtime
- It's too dark out
- I might get attacked by a cougar (this one came last year after an alleged cougar sighting in the village)
- My baby toe hurts
- I would walk if I had a partner to walk with
- I don't have time
- If I can't exercise for a good 30 minutes, it's not worth it
- I'm too tired
- My stomach feels upset
- My kids coming won't make for a good calorie burning walk
As you can see, a good fat girl will come up with any excuse to not exercise.

Look at all those wonderful reasons to pack up my excuses!
How about you? Are good at making excuses?

OMG I could of written this post myself! I am the Queen of excuses, but I haven't used the baby toe one.
ReplyDeleteI have about a 25 minute commute and I'll spend the whole drive home talking myself in and out of my workout! With my treadmill I really can't use the weather as an excuse!
