11. I don’t have anything to wear
12. I’m too busy

25. I don’t have childcare
* I am on holidays!!!
* I need a break from structure and routine!!
* I need a coffee!!
* My mother called!! (again!! <3)
* I have to take my kids to THEIR sports!
these are impressive. very hard to penetrate. well done. A+
*The gym will be too busy, I’ll never get a machine
* All those muscle head grunters will be there; they scare me
*I’m too stressed; I’ll feel better if I eat/change into my jammies/veg on the couch instead
*I forgot my iPod/iPhone/tunes
*I don’t want to work out too much as I don’t want to “bulk up” (usually uttered by a female who is new to working out and does not understand the sheer amount of physical effort and proper eating it takes to naturally “get bulk”)
Note, these are not MY excuses; this is ME adding to the list of things I hear!
I have a headache.
I have a sore back.
My favorite show is on TV tonight.
My favorite sports team is playing tonight.
It’s my birthday.
My dog ate my gym strip.
Lisa, I’ve heard a lot of those ones before, and I know that you have never uttered a one!
Stasia – happy birthday
by all means, take the day off.
