the vicious

of circles. working out contributes greatly to my mood. it is a necessity. lack of working out leads to me filling that void with comfort foods, making me feel like a lazy slug and diminishing my desire to get up off my fat ass. i had lost about ten pounds and was on track when my trainer left last year, then i totally fell off the wagon. i keep saying "next week! next week i'll start being good again!" and of course it just never happens, as there's always some excuse. i need to stop making excuses and make the gym a priority again. it is not optional; it is a _requirement_ for my mental health. unlike cheese.

Knowing and accepting that is the first step. You can do it! I have faith in you! I too have been a lazy sloth or lazy ass. I have forced myself to workout and eat better. I guess looking in the closet and seeing all the clothes my fat ass can't get into sure does motivate me. Ack!

Hang in there. =)

you can do it! you will do it!

this whole knee thing is keeping me from any workouts (even walking distances) for two weeks.

and ya know what i'm starng at right now? Trader Joe's oatmeal raisin cookies.

sigh. *crunchnmunchn*

i can't wait to get back to the gym...

that reminds me, working out is also necessary for my knee health! if i don't keep my leg strength up by regular use, the knees get very ornery... good luck making it through your recovery period!

Is getting another trainer feasible? That sounds like the key. I'm about the least self-motivated person I know-- when I get things done it's by making sure I have overseers.

problem 1: my trainer was also teaching the two classes at my gym that i was going to regularly, and i didn't much like the other teachers.
problem 2: i'm now broke. :)

Cheese is a requirement for my mental health.

As is excercise.
