What's your favorite *excuse*?

I misread the title of one of the "popular threads" and thought they were asking what everyone's favorite excuse is, not favorite EXERCISE. Anyway, what's your favorite excuse? Diet-related, exercise-related, work-related, anything at all. Some of mine are:

"Oh, I thought you said YOU were going to do that."

"It's the day before my period."

"I just feel like it."

Anyone have any really good ones?

"well i already messed up this morning so i might as well just have 20 smores."

"my legs hurt and i'm tired."

ahah my legs DO hurt today and i'm exhausted but i'm still going for a run. :\ and i kinda messed up my diet today, but there's a big peanutbutter chocolate bar in the cabinet i'm not gonna touch. :D

Hehe good ones! I forgot about my new excuse: "I can't do it, my left hand is busted!" At least it's true, but I'm trying not to milk it.

I am not hungry

"'well i already messed up this morning so i might as well just have 20 smores.'"

LOL
That's my excuse too. v.v

I dont know that this is an excuse but -

"Its just one bite."  Yes but Im not concerned about the calories in a bite, I just dont want to sit here craving it after having the taste reminder. 

Here's one:

I swear I got overweight to begin with with THIS phrase:

"My diet starts tomorrow."

Every time I was faced with cookies, chips, cake, Japanese hibachi meals, whatever, I always said, "My diet starts tomorrow."  But it never did!

"I'm sick."

I get the sniffles every time I'm stressed, adn it makes a great excuse not to run, not to bike, and not to eat healthy food.  of course, if I ran, biked, and ate healthy food more, I'd be sick less... :)

I exercise at 5am, the only time I can squeeze it in, so this one comes up...

"I didn't sleep well so I can't get up and work out"

bump

I'm tired.

I have homework,

I'm stressed

But I DON'T WANT TO!!

My spinning class is at 6:30 in the morning.

My excuses:

But I'm so tired...

Five more minutes (which in turn becomes an hour of sleep)

I have a quiz/exam so I want a good rest

-Lemon Jello

OMG... it's like lemon's reading my mind!!!!  I do the same thing!!

"Well, my fitness class is an hour long....I could be using THAT TIME to study before my class starts"

heheh

"Calories do not count if they did not come from my plate"
This causes my family members to get aggrivated because I am constantly sneaking bites of their non-diet food, haha.

I have  subconsious one.

"If no one sees you eat it it doesn't have calories."

I have a few more

"I had a rough day at work i deserve another cookie for not restraining my client when he threw the toilet he ripped off the base at me."

Yes he throws things and I feel I deserve a reward everytime I keep my cool

I will do it in ten minutes.

Next commercial I will do those push ups and sit ups.

I also use the

"My diet starts tommorrow so I get to eat watever I want today becuase I wont have it for a long time"

Then I dont start the diet

"I can loose weight through osmosis"

"If I run to much I will hurt my knees"

"My dog looks sick and I cant run without him"

As the dog jumps up on my and whines then run and grabs the leash and sits in front of me

"I need new running shoes and cant run in bad ones. I could mess up my feet"

"My MP3 player isnt charged and I CANT run without that I just couldnt."

The list goes on and on. Most days i am successful in beating down these horrid thoughts but about once every week or two I give in. Its human nature.

Here is a great web page for diet excuses

And here is why I ate that.

My fav on this page is the one about the expiration dates

I have some great ones

"I'll just workout extra tomorrow"

"I don't want to have to defrost my car windows to get to the gym"

"I have no clean socks"

"I ate healthy last night, my metabolism will do the rest"

"Hey, its kinda foggy out, it could be too dangerous to drive to the gym..."

I always feel great AFTER I leave the gym so I just have to remind myself how great I feel after working out.

"Just look at the bad bad weather!" (when there is only one single cloud on the sky)

"My favourite track pants were getting tumble dried. A long tumble dry."

"Oh, it's almost past the time I was supposed to leave..."

"I'm on my period/day before/day AFTER/week before"

""I can go for an extra hour tomorrow to compensate today."

 

Ah the unpleasant ride to the gym.

"Well I'm HUNGRY." < that's whenever my blood sugar has dropped and my hubby doesn't understand why I'm yelling at him over me not wanting to walk across the room to get my purse.

"Well I'll be going home in (an hour, two hours etc) so I really shouldn't start anything new NOW."

"I know it's a whole tub of frosting but I need SOMETHING for this time of the month." < true story.

Skinnyogi, I do the "I'm hungry!!" one when my bloody sugar makes me go mental, too. My poor boyfriend!

And, stolen from my boy's sister:

"But chocolate is a vegetable" (Her reasoning being that chocolate comes from cocoa, cocoa comes from a bean, beans can be one of your five a day fruit and veg and therefore chocolate, a bean derivative, is a vegetable! Inspired!)

I got this one from my mother:

As you are eating the dessert, the calories are running away from your fork.  Eventually, they all become concentrated in that last bite.  As long as you leave the last bite, you didn't eat all those calories.

This has become a family joke. 

"Are you going to eat that last bite?"

"NO WAY!  That's where all the calories are!"
