1. I’ve eaten in the past 3 hours, you aren’t meant to eat before exercise, right? I could get a stitch or throw up!
2. I’ve had a shower today so I am nice and clean, I can’t get all sweaty now. That would be such a waste of water, I’m a student and think of the environment.
3. I did a lot of walking this week – plus it’s the weekend – I should be relaxing and treating myself, I’ve earned it!
4. My gym buddy can’t come. I couldn’t possibly go alone, who would hold my feet when I do my sit ups?
5. All my no VPL pants are in the wash and those lycra leggings leave nothing to the imagination.
6. I’ve got that massive essay due in a couple of months and a load of seminar preparation to do. So that extra half an hour could be used to procrastinate before I actually start working. Priorities, jeez.
7. I haven’t eaten enough today, going to the gym and burning calories I haven’t consumed could be really dangerous.
8. My dog has just fallen asleep on me, I can’t move and disturb him. That would be rude.
9. I’ve already been for one gym session this week, I don’t want to become too muscly and intimidate guys.
10. Mondays are depressing enough, without the gym on top. So are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and well, pretty much every other day… except Friday, but Friday’s are dedicated to Ocean.
11. Come on… It’s that time of the month, no fricken way!
12. It’s been scientifically proven that sleep is key to keeping young. Either get up early for the gym or keep wrinkles at bay… there’s no competition.
13. Washing your hair too much can damage it. I washed it this morning so I can’t get it sweaty, exercise is off the cards… Damn.
14. All the gym tops that make me look skinny are in the wash, I can’t look fat at the gym.
15. I’m already in my trackies and slippers, let’s be honest, the day is over.
