Guest guest Posted May 20, 2003 Report Share Posted May 20, 2003 Sharon, Did you weigh yourself before or after working out? If it was after it was not an accurate weight, especially after doing weights. The muscles hold a lot of water after doing weights to get more oxygen. Just keep at it. You are doing great! The scale will show it soon! Are you measuring too? Because the scale does not tell all. You could be losing inches! About the not feeling like working out? Welcome to my world! I procrastinate soooooo bad all the time but like you said, I always feel better for doing it. It might not ever get easy to get going, sorry, don't mean to sound discouraging but it's true. It's been 2 1/2 years for me and I still have my days. BUT....... you will feel it if you don't is where I feel it. Especially with my arthritis, I hurt a lot more if I don't exercise for more than a day. So the benefits, the body wanting it, show later. It's a mindset thing I feel. How bad you want to lose weight and be healthy. Also, it becomes habit. I might not always feel like doing it but it's just what I do, just part of my day. Keep up the great work!
