I need motivation. I am a self-proclaimed hater of exercising and any form of a gym or sweating!
I need to get motivated to start working out to tone the tummy and arms for the wedding . . .but it just is not happening!
just focus on the wedding...think about how you will look if you exercise and how you will look if you dont.

You girls are awesome. In case you didn't see my other post...I'm definitely trying to get back into the groove. I seriously need to tone my body and get fit. I've been eating relatively healthy and want to start going to the gym again and feeling better about myself. I'm so excited to start!!
I'll probably end up doing a mix of yoga DVDs, jump roping when I don't have time to get to the gym, and various random classes plus weight training when I finally join a gym...
good for you, you sound like you are motivated now...youve already made the start

Re: getting in shape progress report
Well I just got back from the gym. I have been going 3 times a week so far doing weight training and the tredmill and let me tell it is great. I want to start going more and taking the classes but I just wanted to get started. I have seen such a change already and I really feel good after the workout. I got FH to join with me so I am happy. It is something we can do together since we don't get to do that much with both of us working and me going to school.

Re: getting in shape progress report
i have been eating really well - just bad at dinner bc my mom makes dinner and she tries but she has no idea what is healthy
like she will make me string beans but then i realize that they taste SO GOOD and i see that she has sauteed them in butter LOL
but other than that - really good with healthy snacks, breakfast and lunch
havent worked in the working out part yet i really cant wait for it to get nicer out so i can go walking - and i want to start those on demand programs but when i get home i am SO TIRED! i have to get over that!

Re: getting in shape progress report
i havent been doing any kind of strict workout..but once or twice a week i put a sauna suit on and run with my dog for about 20 minutes,..it helps you drop all your water weight by making you sweat like..a bunch..
boxers do it when they need to make weight..
if you do this and eat better..it will make you have amazing results
you can lose 3-5 pounds each time you do this.
so i do it just to make sure all my water weight and fatigue stays away because im a stressy person naturally

If anyone is interested in a motivational book you should definatley check out BODY FOR LIFE. This book is my bible. It not only tells you the FACTs behind body fat, dieting, exercise., but it is a great motivater.

Ok lets keep an official thread of how we are doing and this will encourage us to stay on track...I know when I wasn't on track withthings and reading about what others were doing, it made me feel like i should get up and just do it.
So lets help motivate eachother.
Last week i worked out all week, except for saturday and sunday...and this week ive worked out Mon, tues, wed. Plus I've been eating healthy
I just started weight wachers again yesterday........i forgot how easy this was!!!!! Hope I can keep going!

Good, someone else that has never been to the gym, I thought I was the only one. I do alot of walking during the day and thats it. I eat whatever I want, I hope it doesnt show when I get older
