What's your excuse?

It's slowly approaching that time for my regular gym session. But, um, *cough cough* I think I might be coming down with something. Seriously. Maybe I should skip it today and make up for it tomorrow. Sound familiar? We all have excuses we use to avoid working out -- what's yours?
Let's face it: when it comes time to get your butt down to the gym, do a variety of excuses tend to pop up? You're too tired, too sore from yesterdays workout, too ill. Or you don't have enough time. Or it's too expensive. Or the weather sucks. There are lots of excuses, and they're all valid. The truth is, sometimes you have to listen to your body and put other priorities ahead of fitness, but if you use these excuses too much, you're doing yourself a disservice by denying yourself something that's important for you for your health and well-being.
So if figuring out an elaborate reason to avoid the gym has become more of a habit than going to the gym yourself, do yourself and favour and quit it with the excuses already.
