aww.. ((HUGS)).. I do sooo know the feeling.. it's that "I need too" and then the "but I really don't WANNA.. I'd much rather visit LHC!" and then the "I need to..it's good for me" and so on... :D

Don't worry too much about it. I'm horrible at remembering to do my yoga... but when if I get mad at myself, well.. I don't do it even LONGER! :shock:

working out is ridiculous. No one should be WORKING OUT.
You should be having fun. What really gets you happy? Rollerblading?
Splashing around the pool? Salsa dancing? hiking?
I really enjoy walking and rollerblading and rowing in my rubber boat and especially yoga. I'm never working out again. Just like I'm never dieting again. Life is too short. Enjoy what you are doing. That will do you more good physically that forcing yourself

LOL, (((hugs)))) you got me all wrong TF, well partly wrong..there are things I enjoy, like running outdoors, yoga, walking after dinner, but I do some of the other things like lifting weights, (which I enjoy most of the time) and aerobics in the living room, for my health. Osteoperosis runs in my family as well as breast cancer, and I don't want to end up like my mother and grandmother with compromised mobility, bad knees from being overweight, fragile bones from not taking care of myself while I'm young, etc.

Sometimes it's just a pain getting started even it's an activity I love and always feel better after doing. Sometimes I'd just like to NOT do it, and I do NOT do it on occasion ;)

But what better place to whine than here ;) I was just whining, went and did Pilates even though what I really wanted to do was go eat the rolls from last night, with gobs of butter and jam :frog: which would have made me feel better for all of a few minutes and then what? So I made myself do what in the beginning I didn't want to do and then felt better all night :D I just call all of the above "working out", working out my stress, working myself out of my whiny, don't wanna do it attitude....

Sag, you got it ;)

i dont wanna workout too :(

my reason might be very different than yours. i used to be a serious work-out-er (err!) anne. i dont enjoy it anymore. the company i have while working out, is a colleague of mine, who drains me.... she's a nice person, but so much negative that i feel drained out after talking to her... she's in the same office as mine and keeps talking to me all the time. i just cant take it anymore on why she feels the whole world sucks... now i can goto my apartment gym... but i just dont feel like exercising any more... i feel like i lost appetite for my work-outs :( its been a whole 2 months that i regularly went. my journal says so :( :( and without working out, i know, i'm so down on energy... and nothing goes right. but still i cant workout...

anne, we both might have diff reasons, but well, dont wanna workout...dont wanna workout...dont wanna workout.. :( :(

hugs ((((((anne))))))

[editted to add: but i definitely do want to get my energy back...]

smilesies :D sounds like your friend may not be the best person to exercise with ;) maybe you can get your energy back from working out alone or with someone who matches your smiles better :D

Hugs ;)

i used to do that long before me and that friend of mine started working out.... and i used to enjoyyy... working out even after tiring long days at work... this was say, some 9-10 months back... i had even forgotten the energy rush i get after those workouts... guess i better go back to my loyal old habit of working out on my own... :D and for starters, i'll go out for a walk in my next door park today evng ... hugs (((anne))) i like that new name too :D thank you :D

I HEAR YA LOUD AND CLEAR!!!! I am
right now LOATHING working out!!!
The only way I'll work out is with a friend
and I so used to be motivated to do it
on my own!!!!!!!
UGH!

Get some fast music on LOUD!!! LOL, that always helps me. ;)

dont talk about music, valerie... i love working out to music.... but no earphones, plugs for me. :D what choice do i have now? wish they increased the volume of music in the gym... guess i better start working out at home blasting music....

and guess what? that friend of mine is leaving today for a 3 weeks vacation... i'll sure miss her, but i'm more happy to have a peaceful gym time for next 3 weeks. :twisted: :D

I hear ya! My (kinda) new apartment complex has a 24 hour fitness center, and I keep trying to talk myself into going....I've even got a friend who comes over to work out with me. However, I hurt my back a little while ago, and she had a cyst or something (had to go to the ER this past weekend), and we're both just so busy! We can always seem to come up with excuses to not go *grin*....

I've got bellydance lessons on Fridays, but that's the only excercise I've got in about 2 or 3 weeks.....yarg.....

I always feel good after excercising - it's just GETTING there that's the problem!

Yup! zzzzzzzzzzactly!

We've got a 24 hour gym here too, I've been a few times, but when I don't want to go, it's empty and when I DO, it's packed and all the machines are taken :rolleyes:

Isn't that one of Murphy's laws or something :D

Me either Anne, which is why I'm going off to do some now....or try.

As usual though, Thinkfirst is wise. I could do with the rollerblading, are those things safe to pick up second hand? I would LOVE some! I loved rollerskating when I was young, and it would be so cool!!

Hm.......I was going to say I would skate to work, but it's all uphill!! Talk about muscles!! *heheheheheehee*

Oy Vey! I may need to get into this thread - can anyone crash the party.

I have a friend who occasionally affects me like that. She runs to get out her aggression, I run to play Tiny Tim/Gabi tiptoeing and flitting around enjoying the scenery.

I find that doing a few mental exercises and visualization to ground myself - now I know this sounds :rolleyes: , but it's really just concentration - helps me a lot. I also try to concentrate on borrowing from her energy and release instead of focusing on trying to solve her problems and stress about my own performance.

Anyway - I am humdinger sore from a weight workout and am going to need all the concentration I can get for the run tomorrow (urgh) ...g

I'm like you Gabi, I don't go out there to POUND the heck out of the pavement, but I used to be like your friend, was very competative and would race any other runners I came accross, now I don't care and I feel better when I flit around ;)

i worked out :D yayyyy!

after 3 months of VERY irregular gym-ming, 10 pounds heavier :shock: and after packing 2 pairs of jeans in top shelf of my wardrobe, i kickstarted my workouts :D

yesterday i walked through the park first time, the park has been literally next door for past 6 months and i had never entered .... :shock:

today i went our gym-ming during the lunch break. have a yoga class in the evng..... i'm all fired up :D

better settle into a different routine at different timing before my depressor turns up ;)

Yay smilesies!!! Good for you!

Doesn't it feel great to get outside and walk/run?

I went for a run earlier tonight, it feels so free, I just love it.

Keep it up, we're here for you :D

Ah - tomorrow I get to go flit :DD ...g
