Thank you so much everyone for the reminders and new advice! I Still need to kick my butt into gear. I failed yesterday as much as I hate to admit. It comes to "O I will do it during this free time (then something comes up) - so a bit later- or wait for my husband to get home so I can get him involved" NO!!! I need to quit waiting for him. If he wants to workout with me I will just get 2 workouts in, right? In the beginning of my journey I would go to the 5:15 am class at Ferrell's. Now that I am about 8 weeks out from Ferrell's I am slipping hardcore. I need to schedule time in my day- so it is an appointment that I will stress to keep. There have been times I have agreed to a 20 minute workout in my mind and ended up working out an hour and 20 mins. You ladies are all so right. I am feeling pretty pathetic I didn't do it yesterday. With all the stress I was dealing with- it was probably the perfect solution.

Go work out NOW! Don't think about it...just do it. I tell myself it doesn't matter if I want to work out. Think of it as an important meeting with yourself....Bosses don't cancel! I heard that somewhere and it stuck with me.

You might also try to incorporate some other kind of exercise in to keep you interested. I took a 3 weeks strength training class, and am about to take a 3 class trial of kinesis classes (found a deal for 3 classes for the price of 1). After that, I think I'm going to hunt for some yoga class trials. And I have been planning to hit the roller rink for some roller skating, but I haven't actually done that yet - SOON! A friend of mine went canoeing with her hubby last weekend. Can you incorporate something that might be really fun into your workout routine that will keep you interested?

Either that, or maybe start setting some workout goals (if you haven't already). Like a C25K or something. I have been trying to add 15 seconds to my running spurts in my walks and to increase my inclines when I'm on the treadmill. I like seeing my progress. It makes it fun for me.

just a couple of suggestions to add to the list.

Chelsy - i'm in the same boat as you! I missed my gym visit today. I'm not giving up, though. I still have a good 16 hours left in this day. And there's alot I can do to get some activity in. Stay strong - don't give up :)

Random advice .... someone told me once if you feel zero motivation - make yourself do it for just 10 minutes! Usually what happens is 10 minutes turns into the whole thing ... getting started is so hard ... and if you dotn do more than 10 minutes - well, its 10 minutes more than you would of done. Somone of the Transformer main page that its not about motivation but able determination (or something to that effect ...) sometimes we just have to make it happen.

For me, the hardest part is just GETTING to the gym. Stay strong, put on your gym clothes, and just show up. Once you get there your body will remember what it's supposed to be doing. You can do it!!!
