I don't have to make myself go running; it's something I look forward to, but lifting? Not so much.
I know I need to lift more often to preserve the good old LBM, but I just hate it so much. I guess because it reminds me how weak I am, and even when I lifted 3 times a week, I progressed so SLOWLY. And I really hate the clips that hold the weights in place; they're a nuisance, and hurt my hands. (Yes, I know I'm a wuss.)
So, please, anybody got any good motivating, encouraging things I can think about to get myself at it, and keep at it? Pictures of lifters don't really help because I feel like I'll never get there.

Book a couple of PT sessions? Then you have to go to the gym, and you may want to go more in between sessions so you feel better about seeing the PT?0
