Yes it is momentum.

So have you got an appointment yet?

Well so much for that plan. My trainer is no longer with my gym. Truth be told there were things she did that I liked and things I liked not so much. I do need to get the motivation to go back though and that would have done it. I think I may have to use pure willpower to pull this off or come up with another solution.

Or another trainer?

Its possible that another trainer is an option although a limited one. Of the three trainers there--meeting one was like oil and water. Another one just rubbed me the wrong way from his ads. The third one may be an option.

Oh good luck with that!!

It's frustrating that you can't return to the previous trainer - but fingers crossed the third one will be even better than the first.

you really need a trainer you can work with and can work with you otherwise it's just an exercise in frustration - raises the heart rate but not much else...

The more I think about it the more I think a trainer isn't what I need. What I need is to make myself go to the gym and its not worth paying a ton of money to get a trainer to trick myself into going. This Friday I'm going to go and then I'm going to make it a regular thing.

Hi Joe!

Maybe finding a workout partner would be good...someone who will help you stay accountable and encourage one another. You don't have to be on the same training level, just someone you can count on to see at the gym.

I would like the same thing myself...I think I would get to the gym and have a more varied workout if I had a workout buddy. I am still looking.

Good luck, Joe!

good for you cannon

I think one of the hardest part for me was getting over the 'waiting for somebody else to make me do it' or 'somebody else to do it for me' (which was the preferable option).
I guess sometimes you just got to bite the bullet and jump in feet first

ok, then go. io know that what it does it for me is paying for the classes so i have to go...otherwise is just throwing my money away. and exercise buddy might be very helpful. have you tried a challenge? take someone here and make a commitment to them you'll do it. i know it helped me when i did i promised kim i will exercise more.

The one bit of good news is, I know when I start again I won't miss for anything. Objects in motion stay in motion. Objects at rest get fat.

this should be on my wall

Sounds like a good plan Cannon. You know you'll feel better once you get moving. You'll have no problem. Its just temporary inertia.

OMG, this made me LOL!!!

How's it going Joe? Aside from the lack of trainer...I'll try to read back a bit and catch up, I'm sorry I haven't poked my head in here for a while.

Its going OK. I seem to be in half full mode. My life is going pretty well other than my job. My weight loss is going pretty well other than exercise. I have an unpleasant temporary situation at work, but this too will pass. I can do something about the lack of exercise and I intend to. Its freezing cold now, but a month and a half ago I was warm and it was sunny and I was floating in the ocean. I will be again.
