Excuses?

Yesterday I didn't work out.  I succumbed to the siren call of the nap after work and crashed out until 6 pm never to be heard from again... Okay... I was heard from again when I made dinner and snuggled up with JK to play some Skyrim.  I did not, however, workout, like I was supposed to.  Shame! 

That being said... this is something I've been thinking about a lot lately.  One of my goals yesterday was to look into the gym at work.  As I read over the documents it came to my attention that it requires a six month commitment.  On one hand, the payments are taken directly out of my paycheck... on the other hand, they are taken out of my paycheck for 6 months, regardless of if I go or not or if I want to cancel or not... That kinda sucks.  What if I never end up using it?  What if they move us to a different building and it's no longer convenient to use it?  (They haven't moved us in a while, but this is a viable concern because we rarely get notice if we're being moved to a new building.)

I talked to one of the guys that works with me because I know he uses the gym here a lot.  He says it's awesome, but that going at lunch is the busiest time to go.  That being said, he mentioned that early in the mornings and afternoons it's pretty empty and a decent time to go.  So, I would have to commit to either going in early OR staying after late to go to the gym... Do I really want to do that?  

While thinking about these things I wonder... "How much of this is really just me talking myself out of going to the gym?"  Are these just excuses I'm making NOT to go?  I notice I do the same thing at home, too.  Normally at home I work out to DVDs or videos I've gotten off of Amazon Instant Video.  These are great, but I live on the second floor of an apartment building.  Now, our floors aren't the quietest floors ever.  They creak and you can hear the people upstairs.  I know this, 'cause I hear my upstairs neighbors sometimes.  So if I'm jumping around and working out (that's a lot of weight being thrown around!), I worry that I'm disturbing the downstairs neighbors.  And no one wants to be woken up at 5 am to some fat girl getting her dance on jumping around her apartment... 

So are these just excuses not to work out?  Or am I legitimately taking things into consideration?  Admittedly, I don't play my cello really early in the mornings and very late at night for fear of disturbing the neighbors... but is working out the same?  Should I even care?  This issue may be moot point in the future as I have plans to move.  So should I commit to 6 months at the gym now and see how it goes?  I'm not sure... These are things I'm thinking of.  

Goals for today: 

1.  Work the f- out.  No sleeping. No napping.  Workout IMMEDIATELY when I get home!  

2.  That's the only goal for today.
