I’ve discovered that while I like free (as in the free mini gym at my apartment) I prefer support (as in paid gym membership). Even though I am working out alone, when I go to the gym I feel more motivated by the being near other people who are working hard too. I find that watching people who are sweating just as much (and more) as I am really helps.
It feels less lonely. It makes it easier to make myself go. It’s almost like I’m competing with everyone in the room. If I don’t show up to work out then they win.
I can’t cheat because my gym is keeping count of how many times I come. I also can’t cheat because my body won’t let me. It will tell of every missed work out and every eaten doughnut.

I will find out how to use the gym membership that came with my new job, and cancel the one from my old job.
Then I will try to get back into the habit of exercising regularly. My last 2-3 months of graduate school, I became a sporadic exerciser, but I no longer have any excuse not to exercise regularly.

I plan to (1) go to yoga class twice (2) ride my exercise bike 3 times for at least 45 minutes (3) do at least 100 crunches a day, 4 times this week and perhaps (4) do some jump roping in the midst of all those activities~

Today (Friday) I rode my exercise bike for 40 minutes, then did some crunches and yoga. Did anyone see the senior citizen that rides an exercise bike for 7 miles a day thhe other day on Oprah? I didn’t beat her mileage, but I started, that’s important, lol~
(Saturday) Yoga at the studio. I came home vacuumed, swept, mopped and cleaned every carpet/ rug in the house!

I will try to go to the gym Mon-Sat of this week. It should help with my end of the semester stress and it looks like I have a small amount of time available each of those days.

But, I’ve been tracking how often I go to the gym and it’s at least 8 times each month. Some months are better than others. However, I know that consistantly working out at least some is better than not doing anything at all.
