11 Reasons I couldn't work out this week
Monday, November 3, 2008 at 9:00AM This week I'm combining my abdpbt list with my weekly post for Club HASAY. Because I'm trying to multitask and find more time to work out. Um, yes, that's it.
10 EXCUSES REASONS I COULDN'T WORK OUT THIS WEEK
1. There was an angry moose on my doorstep. Okay, no, not an actual moose. But my neighbours were out front and I didn't want them to see me all scraggy in my gym clothes.
2. My son timed his nap wrong. I can't wake him up to go to the gym right? I could have gone before, but they don't have kiddie care then, and I can't go after, because I have to go to work.
3. It was too cold out.
4. It was too hot out. (Um, okay, well, not really. It's November. It was too hot inside?)
5. My gym clothes were in the wash. I have no idea WHY, since I haven't used them, but that's where they were. Honest.
6. I ran out of coffee. C'mon, I can't even get dressed without being properly caffeinated, never mind operate a treadmill.
7. I ate like, 28 mini chocolate bars, and half a pizza. What's the point?
8. My son woke up 4 times last night, and I think it's better for my mental health if I have a nap instead.
9. I still fit into my jeans, right?
10. I didn't shower yesterday, so I'm pretty gross, but I can't shower before going to the gym, because that's just silly.
11. I walked around the mall already today.
So yeah...pretty sluggish out of the gate. I'll be better this week. As soon as I get around to doing laundry.

Man, that's the weakest list of excuses I've ever read. Also, they sound like the exact same excuses I've been using the past two weeks. Here's the deal, I just got back from an hour plus walk with my kid in the stroller (and rough terrain) so I'm entitled to talk HASAY smack. Get off of your arse and workout. Halloween is over, your candy should be eaten or thrown away by now. Let's do this. Trying to be mean here, is it working? Your poor child will appreciate you living to see him graduate from high school, hit the gym!
Walking in the mall counts only if you didn't eat any of the mall food. Haven't you seen the old people in the morning that power walk?
Watch out Casey is a slave driver!!
See, I don't even bother making a list for why I won't work out. It would just have one item:
1. I don't feel like it.
@Casey: Wow. You're mean! Are you sure you didn't miss you calling? Also, today I've been virtuous, thankyouvermuch, I went to a swim class with Xander and haven't eaten anything GOOD at all.
@laufa: Ew, mall food. That's not actually something I have trouble avoiding, lol. Now mall COFFEE...
@Anna: That's pretty much what mine actually boil down to. I was just fancying it up a little.
I'm keeping this list as a future reference for me to use.

Walking around the mall totally counts. I think it counts for two days cause you were carrying bags. And holy crap, is casey the gym partner you just dumped or what??
Wanna know what to do with those mini chocolate bars with the exception of watching tear jerker movies and eating your weight in them. Come on over tomorrow. I have a great cookies recipe. You can either take them to work or indulge in more self-flagellation. I approve of both options.
