OK. here I go again

OK. here I go again

I am in a constant battle with weight. I was doing so awesome over the summer (I'm a teacher and a mom). As soon as school started back up I lost my groove. I've been out of control eating lately- zero working out. I feel gross. Tomorrow I'm hitting the gym and hoping to god this is MY summer to shine. To feel confident and in the very least wear tank tops. Yes, I am so insecure I don;t even wear tank tops in the summer. Fingers crossed. I have about 30 lbs. to lose.

Same boat here.

I am hoping to start up again next week.

I had someone FM me to be a workout buddy so I am hoping this helps. Chat Icon

My plan is tomorrow but it's going to take all of my will power to get me there. The last cookie I ate before put me over the edge! I'm done! Good luck!

I am in the same boat, and post-partum to boot! I work in the hospitality industry where there is always food around! I have no control. I'll be your workour buddy if you need encouragement. What's your diet/fitness plan?

I'm a member at Lucille Roberts. Haven't seen the inside of that gym in over 6 months.

I am seconds away from going there, walking up to a stranger and asking if they will be my workout buddy.

I need that reinforcement. If it's up to me, I just won't go. But If I know I meet someone there for certain classes or circuit training, I'll have the motivation I need.

You can totally lose 30 lbs by summer. Where do you workout. I've been learning many new training techniques. I can meet you one day and show you some things. Or I can send you a few workouts here. I just need to know what type of equips,want you are comfortable using.

Thank you! I go (or was going!) to Big Al's! I love it there and was in such a good rhythm. I need to be there again! I do like some of the crossfit stuff- kettle bells mostly. I hate running. I really tried to become a runner. Did a few weeks of Couch 2 5K and like it but it's just so unnatural for me lol. I love kick boxing, koga, strength training, pilates. I love to switch it up.

Re: OK. here I go again

I'm *planning* to start back up on Monday. I also go to Big Al's. Most likely I will be there before the sun comes up though.

Not sure if that works for you but you could always meet us there if you want.

Thanks I'm mostly going to have to go after work which is what is killing me. I know I just need to make it part of my day like going to work. I loved doing the classes. I need to look at the winter schedule and see what I can do. Just need to get my head in the game. I feel like once I go a few times I'll get back into the swing of things.

Re: OK. here I go again

I have the same issue at night.

I feel like the classes are at good times, but after being on my feet all day running groups and then wanting to be around DS, the last thing I want is to head back out.

I always feel better though once I'm there.

That's the hard part though!

I can meet you both there and teach you kettlebells. They are fun and highly effective. I am at the Amityville location Wednesday evenings from 6 to 7:15. For spin and abs. And Monday in Hicksville all evening. When is good for you ladies. d

Re: OK. here I go again

No classes this wednesday which is actually better as I have come down with a nasty c ough and don't need to share that with anybody : (

But let me know as time goes on. There are so many options in that gym. I am really starting to utilize it better now that I've had time to explore it better.

Sounds good, thanks so much! I'm fighting something myself and both kids are sick. Never fails on my Christmas break! Feel better!

Re: OK. here I go again

I'm so proud of myself, I finally went back this morning.

I also found out that my neighbors are members.

They don't always go the same time I go, but said they would try to meet up on the weekends.


Strength in numbers!
