go to the gym more

so…you know in the break up where she goes’ I want you to want to do the dishes!’ and poor vince vaughn is all ‘why would i want to do the dishes?!’ That’s how I feel about the gym. Why would I want to go to the gym? I want to want to go to the gym…it’s just tough going. Absolutely getting there more, it’s just a constant struggle of, ok, it’s been 25 minutes, do i really need to be cross training much longer? or alright, been doing these weights for 4 sets…or these sit ups for i dont know how long…how much more do i have to go.
which is why i finally filled out the trainer request form. Don’t WANT to do it, but hopefully that will help get me focused.

not doing well at all, last time i went was sunday and now it is thursday. i also cancelled my trainer for tonight. i’m just busy and depressed and need to get ready for boston. . . but i do miss the gym, the stress relief was great.

this week is busy so i decided to go to the gym last night. It was great, Sunday night will be my new thing. I LOVED that the gym was empty and watching the Food Network (haha, ok, that’s a little funny) while I ran.

My goal last week was to go 4x but I went 5x.

Have a bday dinner tonight, Red Sox/Yankees game tomorrow and ceramics class Wednesday so I need to start doing mornings (urgh) this week.

killed me. i didnt even drink that much, but i had three magners, no dinner, then ate some beef noodles which were more or less a bowl of sodium….then went home (2-3 hrs past my bedtime) drank no water, and passed out. and i wonder why i feel like shite. so yeah, the gym bag came to the bar, but i did not make it to the gym.

a trainer from my gym finally freaking called me back. so i have at least two sessions where someone will kick my ass and motivate me.

So, I walked home from the hell hole that is times square, 42nd street to 85th with one of the assistants. Went right to the gym and even though I eff’ed up the time, I used the elliptical for over an hour. burned about 500 calories and went like 5 miles. i am pretty proud.

Ok, so I got my new membership card, and now have no excuse of not being able to just pop into the gym on the way home. I went last Thursday, walked around NY all weekend, then went to the gym yesterday for an hour. Going again tonight!

Tomorrow! I am so going to the gym TOMORROW! I got an envelope in the mail from the gym today and was all mmmmm, it’s my gift for having Lauren sign up. But, it wasn’t. It was a 5 second scrawl saying thanks for joining. Which, I technically haven’t since I haven’t showed up. But I am shooting for the next three days. Oh yes. I’m going to need major motivation for this one.

I’m a lazy piece of shit. I know this, that has to be half the battle, correct? Due to my corporate discount, I joined one of the more poshy gyms in the city. So I don’t have the excuse it’s gross, there isn’t enough (insert equiptment, classes, etc)...And, because I’m a sucker for ‘what-if’ I selected the option to be able to go to any of their locations, so hey, maybe if I really do this (hahaha, sorry, that’s just me laughing at myself) I can meet friends for a class, or go swim laps at the pool locations.

But, I do not make enough money to have my membership be my donation to the gym. So I NEED to go. Plus, this is the most unhappy I’ve ever been with my body and my energy levels suck.

But…a positive sign, I ‘refered’ a friend who was joining anyways and got a $150 gift certificate and free 60 min massage. A place that does that can’t be all bad, right?
