Ok, I dont know if Im depresed, lazy or what the deal is. I have fitness equipment in my living room just staring at me.

I need to get over my funk. I know how good I feel after I do. For some reason I am avoiding that. I dont even want to go for a walk.

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.

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

I bought a mini skirt that was three sizes too small. I tried iit on every two weeks..it fits now and my gam gams look fantastic!

I now bought a mini dress and working towards wearing that

Good Idea, 3 sizes huh? how long did it take before you fit into it? And whats your excersize consist of?

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.

Same thing happening to me... I exhaust myself planning it

LOL! I so needed a laugh and really have to get my ass to exercise, but since you put it that way --- I just have to do it!

I gotta join the bandwagon.. Get off my butt too!!!!!!!! i was doing great at walking daily right after surgery but have been tooo lazy the past couple of weeks.. I have to get remotivated and start again !!!!!!!!!

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

I think about getting to the gym and cant get my ass there, i go for a few days and then i don't want yo go anymore so i understand how u all fell !!

After being at work for 8 hrs. I cant seem go want to do anything at all, i do feel depressed at time but its not always like that :-(

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.

Do you have friends who could meet you at the gym?? That always helps me..Just a suggestion...Neighbors to walk with???

I just had my daughter take my 30 day post op photos and compared that to my pre op photos.

It was depressing and made me realize I still have along way to go.

However, I also need to be kind to myself and take this one day at a time.

I did get my rear end into the gym today for the first time in god only knows how long. I walked/lightly jogged for 55 minutes and burned 325 calories.

Looking at fat photos of myself is clearly a motivator.
