Motivation Musings (Bob and Jillian)

I considered myself motivated to lose weight, eat healthier and get back into shape. Not so much.....

 

I meet with a personal trainer from my gym every Sunday morning. The last few weeks I'm not even motivated to go, and I actually cancelled an appointment and had to pay for it two weeks ago. Although I've been doing some work at home, it wasn't nearly at the level I was the first six weeks following surgery.

 

I talked about my lack of motivation with the PA on Friday at my fill appointment. She suggested I need a Bob Greene instead of a Jillian Michaels. and I felt like I needed to make a change, so I booked a different trainer.

 

I just got home from a great training and motivation session. He understands where I'm at, where I want to go, and my issues I've had along the way and gave me some great tips and advice. I felt so good I even did the elliptical for 45 minutes afterwards.

 

Some people have partners that can motivate them. Some people can do it themselves. I have figured out that I don't really have either of the above, so I'm going to look to my trainer for now. Booked two appointments for the next seven days. Hopefully this will help!

I am so glad to hear that you found someone who can help you find your motivation!! I am in the process of trying to find someone who has lapband knowledge at a local gym so that I can find someone to work with that will understand my struggles.

I can not wait to hear how your new work outs go!

Wow, that's AWESOME! I don't know if I would have had the chutzpah to actually switch out my trainer. Good job on finding new ways to motivate yourself!!
