Ok, so you get home from a long hard day at work and as you drape your clothes over your dusty old Bowflex/Alpine Skier/Thigh Master, etc., you notice your workout/running shoes and gym bag with your shorts and t-shirt or cute little spandex unitard. What are some things that run through your mind on those days that you just don't feel like exercising? Some of my excuses are:
1. I'm too tired
2. I'm too busy. I'll run AND workout tomorrow...
3. America's Next Top Model is on tonight and I simply HAVE to know who's gettin' kicked off this week!

hmmmmm .... the only excuse for not exercising that i usually let myself get away with is that i've exercised every day for the last 5 days straight. then i MIGHT let myself relax.
sometimes though i'll go to the gym anyway and just do cardio, or just do weights (not both like i usually do). then i use that as an excuse to have an extra glass of wine when i get home :-).
pdw, i wish i had your level of committment and discipline cuz sometimes my "lazy, fat and sassy" inner voice can be so convincing: "Aww, come on, Kev, have some puddin' and get comfy on the couch. Exercise, shmexercise!"
If I don't make it in the morning, there is very little chance I'll do anything. Sometimes we'll go for a post-dinner walk, but that hardly counts...I get busy and distracted, and run out of motivation by about noon...
I wish I was a morning person. Even though the 2 or 3 times I did go to workout or run in the morning I felt like it was a great way to start the day, I much prefer running in the afternoon or early evening and going to the gym around 8:00 p.m. mostly because less people are there.
