Hi All--I need motivation to get to the gym. I'm thinking about working out with my trainer just to give me that push maybe. I already did my gym workout once this week. I'm feeling guilty that I haven't done my gym workout the second time. I do cardio three times a week and weight training 2x. But my deal today is that I just feel cold and I want to lay in my bed. Not doing that but that's what I feel like. I think I will swap my workout today for a Gentle Yoga workout on Sunday. Does that sound reasonable to anyone out there in no motivation land? I don't know why I'm so cold today but I just feel chilly.
I would love your words of support if you can share. Suzi

I can completely relate to what you wrote. What works for me is this: I make an agreement with myself to put on my iPod and dance to two songs, and after that to do 5 pushups and 5 ab exercises of any sort. If, when that is finished, I am allowed to quit WITH NO GUILT. I completely let myself off the hook. I PROMISE myself that.
And, of course, 8 times out of 10, that warms me up and gets me in the mood and I want to do more. But my brain really, really resists thinking about doing the whole gym routine, so if I give it a tiny little thing to think about, there is so much less resistance.
Best wishes!
