What are your hurdles for not exercising?

We all have reasons why we can't exercise. What are your reasons? Do you wish your circumstance was different?

Honestly, It's lack of motivation....lately I've been MAKING myself do it, and honestly, after I'm done I DO feel better....I just keep thinking of that 'feeling of accomplishment' when I'm done and getting discouraged that I don't see results right away (I'm a I want it 5 minutes ago type person, I hate waiting!)

Mine is time and that i'm lazy!! I try to get up and go in the morning but i am not a morning person. Then i have the kids all day...plus the little girl i watch so i don't feel comfortable taking them to the gym with me. Dh gets home around 6 and then i just don't want to go out.

So for me it's finding the time to go.

For me, it boils down to:

1. Not enough time in the day. DH usually gives me some time in the evening (he puts the kids to bed) to do whatever I want; however, often other chores like grocery shopping need to be done during that time. Sometimes I realize that if I were a better manager of my time (maybe visited Mommysavers less LOL) I might be able to get everything I need to get done AND excercise too!! It's something I'm working on.

2. Child care. My DH can often be away from home for several evenings a week. I could pay for child care at the gym, but I often feel guilty doing so.
