What are some solutions to your excuses?
Sometimes I work out in my cold, dark unfinished basement. Even though it isn't finished yet, we have set up a tv, some couches and have some exercise equipment down there. Here are some of my excuses I have used in the past + my solutions.
The basement is too cold: Yes, yes, it is, but man it feels good once you get going!
It's dark down there: Yep! Sure is! But I got over it once I got all the lights turned on!
It's cold and I'm comfy in my PJ's and don't want to change: My day will go better if I get my exercise out of the way, I will warm up and won't be feeling guilty all day long. Or start with some gentle yoga which I don't mind doing in my PJ's {since I usually wear yoga pants to bed anyway!}
There's nothing to watch on tv and I can't play my cd's down there: So watch some shows that aren't as fun and then get The Hubs down there to help me out with the music situation. Doesn't mean it has to stop me! Use it as thinking time. Or load up some new tunes on my ipod.
Here are the excuses for not going to the gym:
It's dark outside and there is too much snow all over the ground! I don't want to drive in that! Or, I'm running out of time to get over there and back before I have to wake the kids up for school. Or, my schedule is just too crazy today! Etc. : Then just go downstairs and workout in the basement! Squeeze in a few minutes with a jump rope here and there. Etc.
So let's hear your excuses! And then more importantly, let's hear some of your solutions to overcoming them!

I make loads of excuses. But more often, I tell myself I'll do it later. I'm a procrastinator in the exercise department. I have to say "Just get off your booty and do it!" Sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't.
