Shouldn't this be a wakeup call?
I'm getting lazy and it's time I do something about it.
But I'm too lazy do to anything :/
I got my wakeup call this morning when heading over to catch the bus. As is always the case, by the time I got to within 3 blocks of my stop, the bus drove by.
(If you've ever seen the hilarious Spongebob Squarepants episode where he keeps missing the bus, you'll know what an average morning for me is like. Somehow it seemed funnier when it happens to a cartoon sponge.)
This time, however, I decided I was not going to take it anymore. As the bus went by, I started running. I had made it all the way to the tailend of the bus before the driver floored it. I KNOW YOU SAW ME, YOU BASTARD!
Anyway, as I glumly walked on to the next stop, I felt like my chest was being pounded on by a hammer.
Ruh-roh!
That never used to happen!
Well, that never used to happen when I was going to the gym on a regular basis. I'm not even going to the gym on a semi-regular basis at the moment. But what bothers me even more is the fact that although I've noticed this unfortunate turn of events, I still can't seem to dredge up the motivation to go. Back when I had a personal trainer, I had an excuse to go. But I've long finished my sessions with her and I can't afford any more.
Now, I seem to find every excuse imaginable not to go. I don't go in the mornings because I'm too tired and have enough trouble dragging myself out of bed to simply get to work. After work, all I want to do is go home and, once home, I'm too comfortable to go back out. I was also sick of carrying around a big heavy gym bag with me everywhere I went.
Also, when I was going to the gym, I gained so much weight it was affecting my self confidence. (yes, I know, muscle mass and bla bla bla - whatever!) Now that I haven't been to the gym, I lost about 10 to 15 pounds and I've even slimed down a dress size. And people have noticed! Which really makes you feel kinda good. So you can understand my reluctance to want to go back if all it's going to do is prevent me from fitting into my low-rise jeans.
But I need to hit the gym again because I'm not very fit anymore.
:/
Maybe I should just go to a few cardio classes to ease me back in. But I'm really not feeling up to it right now.

I need to get back in the habit too Nancy... maybe we could be gym buddies and motivate each other?

I just did rpm for the first time... I want to die. I'll go with you once a week if you want. It was really fun. But I want to die. They say the first one's the hardest..

Actually Jaime, that is true. The first time I did a spin class I wanted to die. But the second time was much easier! And your butt doesn't hurt nearly as much the second time around from the lousy bycicle seats.
And to be fair Deb, I did wear my new gym top skiing :p
Linda, you should come with me and Jaime. Have you met Jaime?
Linda. Jaime.
There you're introduced. Let's go to the gym.
Julie, thanks for the msn, I'll see you on Thursday for that aerobics class.
