    don't think about it for another second.
    put your sneakers on and just go out the door.

    Tell yourself you will just go for 20 minutes. If after 20 minutes you want to go home, you can.

    I got some good advice from kitty1256 when I had the same problem.....and it totally worked. Keep it in mind the next time you don't feel like going:

    Sometimes I motivate myself in small steps.

    "....alright, i'm just going to put on my sweatpants and a t-shirt.... doesn't mean i'm going to the gym"

    "...well, i put my sweatpants on, i might as well walk out to my car and go somewhere....."

    "...i'm in my car, and my sweatpants are on...i might as well drive to the gym. i'll only work out for 15 minutes though."

    "...well, i put my sweatpants on, got in the car, and drove all the way here, and worked out for 15 minutes - i might as well go for 30 minutes"

    "...since i put my sweatpants on, got in the car, and drove all the way here and did 30 minutes of exercise, i might as well do 50 crunches...."

    charny, I love that advice!!! I will definitely put it to use!!

    I just got back from the gym and I am soooo happy that I did. Though, I do feel worn out and totally out of shape! I am glad that I went! I hate feeling sweaty and spent! I am glad that I went! I have to rush to get the kids from school and I don't have time for a shower. Yuck!!! BUT...I AM GLAD THAT I WENT!!!

    RIGHT????
    LOL
