From September of last year until April of this year I worked out at least 3 times a week. I was going to the gym doing classes and I had so much motivation. I went on vacation in April to St. Thomas - pics can be seen HERE. After that I just lost motivation....
Here it is the beginning of August and I haven't been to the gym in nearly 2 - 3 months. YES I'm paying for my membership and YES I've gained a few pounds...I finally went to the gym on Tuesday night and it felt great!
I thought about all the excuses I've made over the last few months and wanted to share them with you.
FOREWARNING: this list is long and it's OOZZING with SARCASM!
- Too tired, only slept 8 hours
- Class is too crowded
- Too far to drive {The gym is 2 miles from my house}
- Too hot, I don't like sweating after I leave the gym
- People are going to stare at me because they will magically know I haven't been in a long time
- My workout clothes are ugly
- I need new shoes
- I don't have matching socks
- All my sports bras are dirty
- I don't have any comfortable workout underwear
- No water bottle and I don't want to spend $3 for one at the gym
- I MIGHT want to make dinner, they gym will take up too much time
- Showering at night is a hassle
- My legs aren't shaved
- I want to spend an extra hour sitting with my husband on the couch
- I can't find any hair ties
- Out of gas, I don't wanna have to stop and get gas on my way to the gym
- I wish there was a class at 5:45, I don't wanna go at 6:30, that's too late
- My favorite workout instructor is no longer there, I might as well stop going to the gym
- For some reason my payment didn't automatically deduct, I don't wanna deal with that
- My favorite show is on and I want to watch it LIVE, not on the DVR
- If I go workout I will have to eat a snack and then dinner, I only want to eat dinner, not both
- I've gained weight and people are going to see it all over my ASS
- If I don't get there early enough I will have to be in the back of class, I would rather not go
- The girl that goes to this class is annoying, I don't want to stand beside her
- I already ate a TON of candy, there's no point in working out
- I didn't wash my hair this morning,i don't want to add sweat to it
- I'd rather be blogging
