So here's what kept me from going to the gym this morning like I meant to: I couldn't get to sleep till after 2 a.m. last night, and my kids got me up super early. I'm tired! But I know what TwinmomPlus would tell me: "Whack!"

Need a kick in the pants to get off the couch? Check out the group Why Weight's posts to the ongoing thread  Get Out the Whacking Stick. It's a funny wake-up call to readers to stop making excuses and get moving.

Group owner TwinmomPlus starts the thread with: "Okay, I put my stroller together and walked a mile. (Jogged 0.1 mile of it, thank you very much.) If 210 pound ME can get off the couch and go walk a mile, I know you guys can do it."

What's your excuse for not working out today? Come on, give us some good ones!
