So, I’m quite vocal on here (and other social media sites!) about my love of exercising. But I have a secret. I’m actually incredibly lazy. Yup, that’s right, I love nothing more than spending a full day in bed, on my own, watching Netflix. The thought of getting up and doing… well, anything… urgh. I mean, I work really hard in my job, I exercise 4ish times a week and I spend time with friends (most of that time in the pub). So here’s a list of this lazy girls daily battles…
- Snoozing my alarm AGAIN in the mornings telling myself that I can dry shampoo and just tie my hair back.
- I don’t get up in time to make an actual packed lunch, so instead I just grab the component parts that I can put together when it’s lunch time. What’s wrong with taking a full jar of peanut butter to work?
- Also, eat my breakfast at my desk. I would eat it before I left, but I don’t have time for that!
- I have getting ready for work in the morning down to a fine art, I know exactly how long I can stay in bed for and still make it to work on time.
- Online shopping and getting the parcels delivered to my work only for them to sit there for a week cause they don’t fit in my handbag and I can’t be bothered to carry them home.
- Finishing work and knowing that I have to go straight to the gym. If I go home first and put my butt on the sofa it’ll be staying there for the night.
- When I could do with going to the shop after work, but actually this is the only day this week where I don’t ‘have’ to go anywhere and can go straight home and put my feet up…
- When I’ve planned a lazy day, duvet, Netflix, snacks… and the sun comes out. Sun, beer garden, socializing… but… duvet.
- Not feeling remotely guilty when Netflix asks me if I’m still there…
- Using a plate as a shopping board so I don’t actually have to use a chopping board and that means one less thing to wash up.
- Knowing that if I packed my lunch the night before I could have an extra ten minutes in bed in the morning and not have to eat rice cakes and peanut butter for the 3rd time this week, but… effort.
- Same for washing my hair, but hey, that’s why they invented dry shampoo, right?
- The fact that I’m probably not too old to cope with two nights out in a row, but that means doing something two nights in a row…
- Making plans to visit a friend for the weekend and thinking I should probably book the Monday or the Friday off so that I don’t lose a day to myself.
- I do love pizza, but sometimes when I order one it’s not because I’m craving it, it’s because I can’t be bothered to cook.
- Saying goodbye to my bed when I leave it, cause you know, I miss it.
