I cant get myself motivated to exersise



Recommended Posts

I will NEVER love working out, so I agree with screwing the idea of motivation. I just think of it like another thing I have to do, like wiping your ass. You HAVE to wipe your ass! Lol!

Whatever gets you to the gym I guess. I enjoy my gym sessions, but they are a little easier to enjoy than wiping my ass....because it's slightly less messy, but takes nearly as long. :huh:

*le sigh....I was referring to the topic: MOTIVATION. You don't need to be motivated, you just have to do it....

It took about two months. I do Water aerobics 4days a week and work with a personal trainer for strength training two days a week.

I am the same way 5 weeks out and not motivated to exercise. I think I will start with walking and swimming.

It's very much a "Just Do It" thing for me too. I don't look forward to it, I don't like it when I'm there, I don't like the extra laundry, I don't like losing an hour out of every day, but I still go 5 days a week. Every Week. No exceptions.

I doubt I'll ever like going to the gym, but I DO like what it's doing for me. 91 pounds down, off my BP meds, blood sugar back into normal ranges, energy is up and my clothes sizes keep on getting smaller. That's why I keep going.

Just Do It!

I'm a 66 year old who did a 5 k walk for the first time in April. Water aerobic exercise 3 times a week... Golf twice a week. Still taking a cart because I hit so many times for 9 holes. Will walk another 5 k in color run in Lansing MI in July. I hated exercise!! Haha

You may just need an energy boost. Tried eating more nutrient dense food, natural foods, stuff that is not processed. It made a big difference for me. I am always wanting to get up and go now, I do lots of walking and starting to hike now and I'm and old man. If you eat right and take good supplements, you will always wanting to be doing something, you'll be dancing around darling. Go to your local healthfood store and speak to a nutritionist. A lot of it won't taste great at first, but you start to look and feel great, and exercising...it's a snow ball effect.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
