Do you ever go on workout "hiatus"?
Sometimes I am so motivated and go at least 3x a week to the gym. Lately it's been a few weeks since I've been   I have been doing free weights at home on my own but still...I'm just in a rut. I think some of it has to do with taking fertility meds and being  every day after work .

Re: Do you ever go on workout "hiatus"?
I've been there. Now I'll pack my gym bag in the morning and bring it with me to work. I don't decide until I get in the car to go home if I want to go. I was making it into something I "had" to do and therefore was making it like a chore. Now since my bag is packed and I'm off work, I usually pep up enough to go (plus its on my way home, so I really tried to limit my excuses) and if i'm feeling really unmotivated, I try to remember how good I'll feel after and how better I'll sleep and how much more energy I'll have the next day. I try to make it "me" time you know? The more enjoyable, the more likely you are to go.

That happens to me in the winter when it's really cold & gets dark early. I get out of work & just feel like going home & staying there. I notice a big difference when the weather starts to get nice, I feel more motivated to go to the gym.

Yes, I haven't been into working out recently. I need to get started up again. I was hard core for a few months and then I just fizzled.

Re: Do you ever go on workout "hiatus"?
I totally know where you are coming from. I read somewhere that you should tell yourself, "I'm just going to go and at least change," then you will finish the workout because you have come so far. I always feel great after a workout, so that is my motivation.

I've have due to an injury( stress fracture). Usually if I find myself bored with my workouts I throw something else into the mix to reboot my motivation.

Yes, but only for a week or so....then my muscles start to hurt...hard to explain, but working out "loosens" me up.

Re: Do you ever go on workout "hiatus"?
During mid-December I do. With all the Christmas parties and running around trying to get ready for the holidays, I usually let myself just take a break

I find myself on "hiatus" after an injury, vacation or a road race.

Re: Do you ever go on workout "hiatus"?
I do - unfortunately I have the best intentions but, it tends to happen from time to time.
I just have to make myself go - once I get back through the door a couple of times - I get back in the swing of things.
