I say just keep it simple and try to get into a routine. And don’t beat yourself up if you miss some days or if it takes a few tries to get into the routine. I’m not one of THOSE PEOPLE, but I am definitely one of those people. I like to work out and, while I’m not obsessed, I’m addicted in a good way! Or do what psycho Laurel suggests and train for a race….psyyyychhhoooo.

I love the way your thoughts just ramble on to something totally different. It really reminds me of myself.

I am so not a health or fitness guru – and my gym cost per visit dollar is astronomicaly high. So… on to friendly subjects… I can’t wait to see your chairs!

If it makes you feel ANY better, my trainer told me weight loss (or weight maintenance) is 75% what you eat. So, as long as you are eating healthy, why bother, right?

I am one of Those People, but not one of THOSE PEOPLE. I drag myself out of bed every morning at 5:20 to get to the gym for the 6 AM class. I pack my bag the night before. I don’t love it, but I’d rather get up and go in the AM than go after work. Zandria (http://www.zandria.us/) had a post where someone said that they work out in the morning so that the reason they get out of bed is for themselves and not to go to work. Pretty, good, eh?

I have to agree with those who recomend yoga. It’s terific for the stress levels too. Oh, and it’s a misconception that you have to be bendy to do yoga, so don’t let that intimidate you!
I also find that I’m good at sticking to doing mat pilates on DVD in my living room.

i’ve always done best when i had a workout buddy who is as competitive as i am. then they can make you feel guilty if you skip out on your workout.

Working out is similar to meal planning for me – if I don’t plan for it, you end up with half-assed results. Or, in my case, double-wide, extra-assed results.

If I don’t have a schedule or a routine, I won’t go to the gym. I have to have it in my mind that I’m going to the gym – no excuses. Just like I’m going to have spaghetti tonight, because it’s Tuesday and that’s what I planned in my meal plan.

Umm, I am really bad about getting in and out of exercise habits. For me, the best thing (unless I just have complete free time and free schedule, which, ummm…yeah) is to exercise BEFORE I do anything else, which means really early in the morning. And I am SO not a morning person. I also have found that I can do it at lunch, if I really really make myself.

After work, though, it’s just not happening. I have too much fun to have, whether that be in tv watching or going out with friends or just lazing around with the hubs, but working out is NEVER something that I’m gonna give priority to at that point.

I am glad you aren’t one of those people. Sorry to be contrary, but I think it is a reflection of all the wonderful things you have going on in your life that you aren’t one of those people!
