This Weeks Meeting

Hi, my name is Lori and I'm an exercise quitter for the first time in my life.  I stopped exercising daily approximately 10 days ago.  I've tried exercising three times since then and I usually am able to talk myself out of it (or we've half-cracked it.... a 4 mile run? naah lets do a 2 mile walk).  Finding justification has been simple with all that's going on in my life. I can't deny that the sleep has felt nice.  I can't remember when I've had so many nights of 7-8 hours of sleep.  However, this action has created quite the negative impact otherwise: I'm more tired, feel crappy, find myself losing my motivation, and miss hanging out with Amanda at the butt-crack of the morning.  

I now call this meeting to order.  All of us exercise quitters... and exercise blog quitters.... need to band together and overcome the funk.  Ready?  I am.  Who else is in?

Me! It's so true. I talk myself out of exercising enough lately that I only do it 3 or 4 times a week. I tell myself its because I am prego and tired, but in reality I am probably more tired because I didn't exercise that day and chose to eat crap instead. Boo! Can somebody hold me accountable? Otherwise I am afraid of the weight gain this pregnancy might have in store for me!

I totally agree! I've kind of exercised, but not like I should, and not like I did a month or so ago. And blogging... haven't even had a desire to lately! Yes, yes, I need to, and am trying to, get out of this funk! Some days are definitely better than others. But, it's the beginning of a new week! Bike ride on the plan for tonight!! :)
