What are some of the most common excuses you hear from people for not exercising and eating healthy? I will only throw in a couple of each so others can contribute as well. I usually hear this:
1) I don't have time to exercise because I work long hours.
2) I don't exercise because I'm sorr the next day.
3) I don't cook because it is easier to eat out.
4) I don't like healthy food because it doesn't taste good
That's it for me at leadt for the time being, now it is your turn. Bring it on.
But time or lack thereof is the number one thing I hear from people.
Funny how "eventually" can "eventually" turn into a decade or more of a sedentary lifestyle. Then there will be gym-hell to pay trying to get back in shape.
I tried to talk myself into the "I don't have time" excuse for a while when I was not in the best shape of my life and thankfully I woke up from that nightmare and knocked some sense into myself.

#2 is about the lamest excuse in the world. I work out TO feel sore the next day. If I'm not sore the day after I lift weights I feel like I didn't work hard enough, and I sort of enjoy the soreness.
To add to the list:
1) I can order a Whopper meal. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical at level 2 yesterday. They'll cancel each other out.
2) I don't want to lift weights and get body builder arms. I've actually heard girls say that whose arms had a circumference wider than most body builders I know. And it wasn't muscle.
3) I don't eat veggies. I'm a carnivore. (I actually have a friend who says this - soon as he hit his mid-20s he totally ballooned. Wonder why.)
But carrying around an extra 50 pounds of flab and being out of breath from walking up stairs isn't hard?
