Or, rather, making myself work.
Work out.
I am not a "joiner" when it come to fitness.
I don't like group exercise classes. I am horrifically uncoordinated, and while I can rock out Just Dance on the Wii, me at a Zumba class is full of fail and flailing and just, no.
My dear friend Karen is the only soul I have ever worked out with on a consistent schedule. And that was only because I love her very much and she is stubborn.
So, with the exception of last spring/summer, I take my workout program in solo portions.
I like to run alone.
I like to go to the gym alone.
I like to do my crunches and planks and push-ups alone.
Maybe it is because I don't like the accountability.
Or maybe I don't want to disappoint anyone but myself in my progress.
I am definitely embarrassed at my lack of coordination and general fit-ness. I will be real and say that all of the people I know who work out/do the group fitness thing are in way better shape than I am. I am, simply said, intimidated.
I have been going to the gym in the afternoons, then after the workout running (ha! literally) to get the boys at school. Jeff has made this possible by taking Emerson while I am doing all that.
I am still struggling to find motivation. Especially since I am not seeing any difference. I feel different, which is good. I just don't look different.
This makes me consider becoming a "joiner". Finding a group class to go to, to keep motivation up, to sweat it out with a bunch of other gals.
I can't decide, though. So I think I will keep up with what I am doing now. Get that habit set. Then, maybe, think a little more about joining something. If I need it. Maybe.
