I found out that my dress is coming in during the month of NOVEMBER... which if you didn't realize, is THIS MONTH.
I know I don't start fittings, but seriously, just the thought of it woke me up from this delicious carb-filled life I have been leading since my best friend and MOH Trish got married.
I hate the gym. I'm not gonna lie. People say 'I don't want to go to the gym, but once I get there, I love it.' That's a lie. I hate the gym. I don't feel good before, during or after.
So, day 3. Still not loving it.... but just imagining me not being able to zip up my dress is motivation enough?
Anyone feelin' me?

Not only do I feel you - I feel like I am you!
I hate the gym.
I hate diets.
I love macaroni and cheese and french fries.
My name is Marlo and I need to get serious too!

you can do it! You don't feel just a tiny bit good after the gym? Think- wow I just burned all those calories! Does your gym have classes? I find it much more fun to go to classes.

Re: Day 3 of My 'Let's Get Serious' Diet
I am right there with you Leese!!!
My name is Kristen & I just can't help myself anymore!
I stopped going to the gym prior to the summer & have absolutely no motivation to go back! I walk 2 miles everyday with my mom but I don't feel that is enough! I can't help the chocoloate & cookies frenzy lately!
Today is the true test, I am going to try my dress on...Last time (July) the dress was a perfect fit with no alterations needed...So I am sure tonight I will be on the diet!!!
Even worse, I am leaving for vacation 2 weeks from Sunday & I will be wearing a bathing suit! Time to get serious
We can stick together!!!

OMG you are me! I hate the gym - the only reason I feel 'good' after the workout is because I know it is over and I won't have to work out for another day

Are you both in MY head?
Last night I REALLY pushed myself. I need to forget that I did that and do it AGAIN tomorrow, and over and over.
I'm setting myself small goals. I'm focusing on one week at a time.....
But... here is the bad thing. When I am with my FH, I'm like 'Oh I'm beautiful, I don't need to exercise or diet...hand me that ice cream!' Why do men love us just the way they are!!! I need him to say... 'Put DOWN that CHEESEY POOF!!!!'

Re: Day 3 of My 'Let's Get Serious' Diet
Good luck! But I'll tell ya...I used to hate the gym too. But I take different aerobics classes each day of the week, and I really like them. I find it easier to motivate myself with an instructor telling me what to do. Plus, if you do go to the gym regularly, it gives you a little room to so you don't have to diet so strictly. Dieting is good, but you can be a little more lenient when you work out regularly.

Re: Day 3 of My 'Let's Get Serious' Diet
Yes me too... I'm going back today...not happy about it but we do what we have to.
My dress is coming in this month as well, and although fittings will not be until January, it still is a great motivator!!! (That and thinking about how not to gain weight during the holidays!)

I used to take classes but I find that I can't predict my 'after-work' life anymore. I never know when I'll be home.
I've been going to the gym regularly for 5 years. I've been bad - going once a week for the last month or so, but I used to go consistently 3 days - 4 days a week. I've also done personal training.
After all this, I can I honestly say that I really hate working out. I just do.
WAAHH...that's my whine!

Re: Day 3 of My 'Let's Get Serious' Diet
You are too funny!!! I believe that sometimes when you go regularly like you have & I have done in the past, you get into a rut (sp) & you just don't feel like going! This is the time in our lives that we REALLY need to go! If you aren't motivated to go to the gym, do something else like ride a bike, walk around the neighborhood or beach...
I have been doing that & find it easier to go back the gym after the brief vacation even though I haven't been back!

Re: Day 3 of My 'Let's Get Serious' Diet
Ok, if Jill and Beth see this they're gonna kill me but all I can tell you is that I just ate 6 mini Snickers, Twix and 3 Muskateers chocolates Its a day after a Halloween what do you want me to do...you know I hate the gym too, so my best friend and I run in CP twice a week...its fun and it flies by and its a workout and a half...I also walk a lot every day...I walk from the train home (appx.20 minute walk) and I walk my dog daily for about 40 minutes...one of my mom's assistants lost 30 lbs in 6 months by just walking! She walked 100 city blocks everyday!
ETA: Good luck!

Re: Day 3 of My 'Let's Get Serious' Diet
I'm with you! I hate the gym, don't like sweating, but have to say I do feel better after going consistently for a few weeks. I bought a treadmill so I have no excuses really.

Re: Day 3 of My 'Let's Get Serious' Diet
I feel you 100%!!! But I'm one step ahead! I try to remember that I will be in a bikini for 10 days after the wedding, and that's enough to get my butt over to Curves! (and it's only a 1/2 hour workout!) But I try to workout and eat healthy for my health too. Which is an even better reason. But I do crave something fried, greasy, and cheesy a lot!
