Thirteen excuses/reasons I hate to exercise

Banner courtesy of goofy girl
As a side note: my fiance is a personal trainer and I hate to exercise!!!!!
1. My reason for not canceling my membership: I'm hanging on to the hope!!!!
2. When asked if I am going to exercise, I say "Maybe 'morrow!"
3. Seriously, who LIKES to be sore and not able to move!
4. Gyms are like germ incubators.
5. It takes a lot of effort to change into work out clothes, drive to the gym, come home and shower.
6. I hate.hate.hate to sweat!
7. I would feel an obligation to eat better if I exercised.
8. If I did sweat, I would need to drink more water...and ewwww...I just don't like plain water.
9. Honestly, what else would I have to complain about?
10. I hate those people who go to the gym with their hair all made up and their make-up caked on....ummmm honey--you are at a gym....g-y-m.
11. It feels like whenever I'm there, there are at least two men by the weights attempting to lift WAYYY more than they can and grunting louder than I have EVER heard just to prove they can.
12. I love to say "oh I don't need to go to the gym today" "why not?" "Oh, I cleaned the house and took the stairs up to the apartment." Yeah, like that's helpful.
13. Moral of the story: as much as I complain, hate it (yes, even despise it), I still know I need to go. Oh well, maybe 'morrow!
You know how this works...leave a comment (more than just two words or I won't post you...sorry that's how it is!) and I'll leave a link with your name!

I definitely agree with #10. I always feel like the ugly girl at the gym b/c I'm in actual workout clothes instead of some matching Nike outfit from the local Footlocker.

Happy Thursday!

Hah! I love it! My daughter and I joined the gym a month ago. We haven't stepped foot in there once.

I'm such a good role model for her. ;)

Hahahaha... Great minds obviously think alike. You should try my TT instead of going to the gym (it's about exercise videos).

Every day on my way to the gym, I think to myself "ugh". Now I've hired a personal trainer, so next week, I expect to not be able to move.

I think we are wins separated at birth! Seriously, you stated all my reasons for hating to go to the gym. Especially the hating to sweat thing.

I love going to the gym, I love water, I don't mind sweating...but when I go I think everyone is secretly looking at me and thinking to themselves "why does she even bother?"

Oh, I know how you feel! I am glad the gym at my apartment is free, well, not really, but you know what I mean. I NEED to go all the time, but rarely ever do.
Good luck!

My TT is up!

i can sooo relate to what you're saying. i failed at the two times that i joined a gym.

my first time to join a gym, i did go because my boyfriend and i just broke up and i wanted to be in shape so that he'll regret having to lose me. we got back together after a few months and i quickly forgot about going to the gym.

the second time, after paying for six months' worth of gym membership and going there for a month, i found out i was pregnant and my OB-Gyne advised me against it.

i do hope you'll be able to bring yourself to go. just look for more funny things at the gym like what you said about men lifting impossible weights. :)
