Re: Exercise Blues

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I think most of us have this problem from time to time. All I can

tell you is what helps me, and that's having a very short exercise

tape to pop in so I don't have an excuse. I have the " power mile " or

something along those lines--it's only 12 mins long, I think. Then,

when I wake up at 5:30 (so I can exercise without an audience), I

think " it's only 12 mins, I can do anything for 12 mins " and by the

time I brush my teeth and get into my shorts and shoes, I usually feel

like doing more. Honestly, I just don't give myself the option to

*not* exercise. If I exercise three or four days in a row and really

don't want to do it the next day, I take a day off. But I find that

if I have a fairly regular schedule (Wednesdays off, for example), I

stick to it better.

Is there something different you'd like to try that would maybe get

you interested again? Water aerobics, Jazzercise, anything like that?

Maybe a week or two of something different would help to get you

going? I know it's hard to find the motivation sometimes, but you can

do it! You are soooo close to that mini-goal, so don't give up now!

By the way, I really like the way you're doing your mini-goal for your

last number--I'm going to do that as well. It's not so overwhelming

that way.

is a cold day. Does any one else have that with cold days and nice days?

, I get that way when it's raining. I don't want to exercise, I want to stay in bed and red or play video games. These are the days when I find alternative things to do. As long as we are doing things that we are normally not doing then I would count it as exercise.

First of all, ! You are doing great!!!! Don't beat yourself up. I know that exercising can be a chore...especially when your bones are cold. What I do is while I am vegging in front of the TV. I get up during the commercials and WALK in place or do some movement. Did you know that most prime time commercial breaks are 4.5 - 5 minutes long? Just one 1 hour program and you have 25 minutes of exercise! Go figure! Maybe that would help...

I thought the mini goal thing would really help me see that I am not as far away from it as I some times think I am I hope it helps you too. 340/300.8/299 Re: Re: Exercise Bluesoh yeah!

Bonnie, thanks for the idea. I might try doing some thing like that. 340/300.8/299

I hate to clean house, but I know it needs to be done, and that is a form of exercise isn't it? I might try that on the cold days when I don't want to exercise.

I know what your talking about, I get teh blues about working out sometimes too. I have really had to push myself a few times. Today being one of them. I just didnt feel well, have hives all over my face but knew I needed to go. so I went. i didnt give 100% today but I did go and I did get some exercise in. For me that is all I am doing is pushing myself. I hope you can find something that works for you. Good luck, and hang in there.

Exercising during the commercials. Not a bad idea. Thanks! I might just try that, because I do watch a lot of TV at night. I might just try and make that a goal tonight. 340/300.8/299 Re: Exercise BluesFirst of all, !You are doing great!!!! Don't beat yourself up.
