Please!!! I have been failing miserably, always finding other excuses to go.

I MUST go tomorrow, I WILL go tomorrow to get back on track!

How do people motivate themselves?

Ooh you know it's national 'free chocolate at the gym' day tomorrow. Seriously, you just go along, work out and then at the end a gorgeous chap turns up to give you chocolate

Okay it's not, but stop being a lazy whinger and just do it.

I'd love to be able to go to the gym, you get to have some space and time to listen to music and concentrate on yourself. You will feel loads better afterwards i promise!

I went back to the gym last week after not going since the end of October!

Really enjoying it and just needed to go that one time to get back into it. Before that, I was coming up with every excuse under the sun and weeks were passing me by.

Just go, you will feel brilliant after you have done it (hopefully)

If I don't go immediately after school run I know I will never get there. So go asap before you decide you need to do anything else.

Thanks rosealbie - the stupid thing is I know that when I go I feel better - it's just getting back into it isn't it?

I know it's a cliche but I do feel so much more energised from going just a few times. Now it seems such an easy thing to do (not the actual excercise but the going in the first place).

Hope you get there tomorrow.

dh has had a trainer since January, he looks amazing, a six pack and no moobs anymore. he goes 3 times a week. i started 3 weeks ago and just twice a week at the moment, its high intensity so only half hour but she kills me, we lose the money if we dont go so that's enough motivation for me.
