So I've noticed I have been able to talk myself out of a workout once, sometimes twice a week !!!!! Ahhhh..... I would never have done this 2 months ago so I need to really get strict here otherwise I can see my hard work going right down the toilet. I am not giving in to my temptations to slack off !! I find that if I let myself miss one day, I will justify day 2 as well ??? Its sooo twisted and I have already lost 20 lbs!!!! I cant let this beat me !! Sooo... from now on, NO MORE SKIPPING WORKOUTS!! This is my spring challange.

Anyone else???

    I thought this was going to be about not skipping, as in with a skipping rope, which I would have been all for as I HATE skipping!

    Exercise is addictive, the more you do the more you enjoy it. Throw yourself back in!

    Come on girl you can do it. You're so right - if you miss one day, you can easily miss another. You will NOT undo all your hard work. Start now - get right back to it.

    p.s - well done on the 20lb loss, fantastic!

    AHH! I'm in the same boat. Last week I got really lazy and almost didn't exercise last night.
    Just write down how much weight you'll lose in a few months and imagine what you'll look like. It's such a great motivator!

  • I've done that also. I'm challenging myself to do the same. NO SKIPPING on ANYTHING ,workouts and food. I'm sure you can do it!
    Congrats on the 20lbs you've already lost :) Good luck with the rest!

    Have you thought about shaking up the kind of exercise you do? I recommend committing to a couple of exercise classes if possible, because then you have a sense of needing to be there at a certain time...plus they're more fun than staring at a wall while running on treadmill! or forget the gym and get outside!
    congrats on the weightloss so far, you clearly have strength of mind to have come this far - it sounds like you need some new goals to set your mind to.
    best of luck :flowerforyou:

    That's how I have managed to sabotage my chancse at getting fit and healthy every time. I'd start out on a roll, then skip one day and the rest was history. If I give myself slack, I always take it too far. I have not mastered self-discipline...at all. It's a good thing you're acknowledging this and getting back on track before it gets out of hand. :)
