tell me to go!!

I'm coming off two weeks travel with sporadic exercise. And two days of totally sleepy not exercising TOM time.

I have an appointment tomorrow at 7am with a Gold's Gym trainer to start weight lifting training.

This seemed like a great idea two weeks ago, but now I'm crabby, and slow, and totally not looking forward to waking up early.

Tell me to go! Please!

- feeling very lazy

Omgosh, Goooooo! You'll so love it and be happy you dragged yourself outta bed! :D

I know I'll be happy once I've been there a while - it's just so hard when you've slipped away for awhile - you know?

Thanks for the encouraging words :-)

mornings suck, but exercise doesnt (normally).. lol. once you start going again and seeing results, you'll be that much more motivated to keep on going. sorta like our WOE :) good luck with the trainer.

So - did you go???

[c_cat]

I DID go! :yay:

It's so ridiculous. I've found that I love exercise. I love how it makes me feel in general (i.e., the rest of the day when I'm not doing it). And I love actually doing it after the first 10 minutes.

But I HATE the first 10 minutes, and I HATE starting again when I'm out of the habit.

DH and I have been going to the YMCA and strolling on the treadmill about 6 mornings a week for two years. Since I've started Atkins, we've "kicked it up a notch" - and changed strolling to fast walking and some elliptical trainer. But then I traveled - had some very long walks in Chicago and NY - but nothing regular.

Two weeks off my schedule - and I couldn't bring myself to wake up early and work out! :bash: Well, thank goodness for making that appointment to start weight lifting two weeks earlier (when I was excited about it).

The hardest part about it all was resisting canceling ahead of time, and getting dressed that morning.

My muscles are achey! I feel great! And I'm back in on Friday. Woohoo!

You go girl!

[Skamito]

Woohoo, that's the stuff!

I'm the same way. Love exercising when I'm in the habit and doing it... makes me want to scream and throw things otherwise. :)

Guess that just goes to show you. Keep in that habit!

Congrats on going. I'm in such a bad mood at 7am. :)

forced myself to get up and do a little cardio at 7am today. :yay:

Not normally a big deal (as DH and I go together) - but he's out of town - and usually when's he gone - I don't go :roll:

Weight lifting again tomorrow at 7am. (And I actually went after work today for a walk/jog/walk/walk/job for 15 minutes!!)

It's so addicting once I get back "on".
