With this heat, the E-party being last month and all the craziness with that, my sister's situation, etc etc etc... I have had very little ENERGY (i have the time, I'm not going to LIE) to get up and go to the gym... and I feel like CRAP because of it.
PLEASE LADIES-- some words of wisdom, a 'get out there and go you tub of goo', ANYTHING would help me right now because honestly: I really want to go to the gym, I DO but somehow: it has not happened in about a month
I can't believe I admitted that HELP
ETA: am I the only one who has just not had the ENERGY or desire to lately?!!!

I've been trying to think wedding dress but my mind out-smarts myself and says 'ehh you have like 14 MONTHS, it can wait' so what i'm trying to do now is think CELLULITE that will form if I don't GET UP AND GO and think: I have to be on the beach in a week in front of PEOPLE in a bathing suit

Re: ENCOURAGEMENT PLEASE!!!!!!
i try to look at my time at the gym as my 60 mins (or whatever) of silence and peace. A time to be by myself listening to music and getting out all my anxiety and frustration. And of course working yourself to be a hot mama on the big day! i just zone out and once i push myslef to get there i am happy.
*i have also not been to the gym since last tues. on wed i see FH thurs. i went to pick up my gown, i usually dont go on the weekends and now i have a major sinus infection! so i am hoping to back at the gym by thurs night.

Re: ENCOURAGEMENT PLEASE!!!!!!

To top it off, my step mom has been a way for 5 weeks and I have had to take care fo the housse the launry ,cooking, cleaning for my dad and 1 of my bros ( they are slobs) and I feel bad to leave my dad alone all the time so i stay and keep him company. Anyway babe... usually the summer people get out of the gymloop and get back into it come Sept. Try to get back into it slowly and soone enough it will be Sept and u will be back into it 100%. Ill be sending gym vibes ur way!! xoxo

Re: ENCOURAGEMENT PLEASE!!!!!!
No I'm with you!!! I have been super lazy since JUNE!!!! I've barely gone!! I've felt like crap also but I have lost 12 pounds since January and I'm trying to keep it off. It's slowly creeping back up again and I seem to have found some energy to go to the gym cuz I've now gone two days in a row this week already!!

I agree... I still try to do this and I do some workout tapes that are really good. 'Slim in 6' and Bill Blakes 'bootcamp' dvds. Those are good.. but u just dont have the same motivation when ur home.

Re: ENCOURAGEMENT PLEASE!!!!!!
No your not the only one. I haven't been the greatest at going. I do try to do my 30 sit-ups a night but the rest of me has been going to flab.
But GET BACK TO THE GYM SILLY! Think of it as a stress reliever, I know when I was having problems with my brother it was nice to get there and hit the punching bag a few times and let off some steam!

You know what I've found is working. I have a really unflattering picture of myself on my camera phone and whenever I think I'm not that bad and it can wait, I look at that picture!! It works!

Re: ENCOURAGEMENT PLEASE!!!!!!
Just keep thinking about your wedding day and how you want to look. That's what I do everytime I think of slacking. It's hard to start back up again, but once you get into a routine it's so much easier. I went today in the horrendous 102 degree heat- I thought I was crazy, but I just kept thinking that there's no way I was flabby arms at my wedding!
Plus, I've found that going to the gym helps take my mind off anything that's bugging me. I either zone out or at least get my frustrations out while working out!!
You can do it! Good luck!!
