I've been working out for many years, while trying to lose weight. But for a long time I've always felt, blah I guess I'll go to the gym. I mean I enjoyed listening to music and stuff while on the elliptical and stuff, but didn't love it. I've now gotten to the point, that I enjoy working out and find that if I don't work out I feel crappy and tired all day. I just feel lazy. On Friday, I took the day off, I usually take off Tuesday because I work in the morning and I get exhausted after work, though this past Tuesday I went to the gym, since I recently joined one that is open later. And on Friday since I didn't go, I slept in, and felt so lazy, and at work I just felt so tired and stuff.

Today the gym and kickboxing were closed due to hurricane Irene so I couldn't go, and I've been feeling kind of lazy, and even took a short nap, so even though it was still drizzling and quite windy I went for an about hour long walk and just looked around to see if there was any damage and stuff. It made me much more awake.

So for those of you who just feel obligated to work out, keep at it eventually you may do it just to feel better and you'll enjoy it!

You are so right! I found it very difficult to start, took me about 4 months postop to hit the gym. Now it's a matter of routine. I go at least 5 days a week. It works wonders in the battle of weight loss. There are just too many benefits not to do it.

Definitely a NSV! I'm reaching the point where I miss exercise if I can't do it when planned!
