I haven't done half of the things on it. Mostly because my goals were WAAAAYYYYYYY to long of a stretch. Instead of bathing suit body, I should have put 5 pounds by a certain date. Sarah is right, you have to do baby steps. Usually when I get back in the gym, I feel great afterward and I think, "What the crap was my problem not getting in the gym, I feel great". I have to remind myself of that feeling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107782614083110682.post-15670212088592979322009-06-26T17:52:12.650-05:002009-06-26T17:52:12.650-05:00can i tell you what did it for me? i signed up for...can i tell you what did it for me? i signed up for a gym membership in january, had the whole month free. finally, the last week in APRIL i went to the gym for the first time. and i finally realized that the guilt i felt for not going was a whole lot worse than the actual working out. i think once you go, you'll remember that you enjoyed it once upon a time. baby steps. just promise yourself 20 mins on the treadmill, and then you can leave if you want. it'll get easier, but you have to just do it the first time. i kick myself, too. had i started in january, i would be bathing suit ready now! next year.....Sarah Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05174508043761660692noreply@blogger.com
