I'm so upset with myself!!!!!

Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive September 2004: I'm so upset with myself!!!!!

I have NO motivation!!! Why? I'm still young and fairly active so why? Last week I put myself on the Pilates 10 week workout since the Marine Corps ball is in 9 weeks. Last year I had baby fat and looked horrible and this year I want to look better and have nicer pictures. I did GREAT last week and I missed Saturdays workout but DH and I did walk 4 miles. Sunday is my rest day and yesterday I ran out of time to workout but we walked 2 1/2-3 miles. Today I just cant seem to last, I dont have the "Ooommph" to do it. I'm so mad at myself and I know all I really need is someone to motivate me. DH hates pilates and is into body building a weight lifting and he works out at 5 am before work. He wont do pilates with me and I have really lazy friends who could care less about working out.

What do I do????

I'm not trying to lose a lot of weight or even go down a size. I just need to tone my whole body so I look good in a dress.

Can someone come over and kick me in the butt and tell me to just do it?

I'm getting ready to join Curves. From what I hear they are very motivational. You can bring Kaitlyn over here and I'll watch her while you go, ha ha!

LOL Kristie, by time I get there i'll be lazy from driving so much!!

Well I put DD to sleep, DH will be home in an hour and the DVD is 54 minutes long. I'm doing it. Now heres the laugh: I put Britney Spears DVD in too so that I can watch her while working out and if I wanna quit i'll just think that I want a body like here, LOL! I'm silly but its worked before.

I know what you mean about the motivation but my case is worse i am right now 189# and should be around 155 I really want to lose the wieght but have no oomph to do it. I try not eating late but that is when i get quiet time at home and want to sit and eat and watch TV. Rich is no help as he will not even walk with me. He is in shape with no work to get there so he sees no reason to exercise. I wish there was a pill I could take to help curb my weight and help me drop this crap plus I am retaining allot of water. Good luck to you.

I need to get my dog walked, but we don't eat supper until about 6:30pm and now it's getting dark so early! I'm not really scared to walk in the dark, but liked walking at sunset a little bit better.

Why is it I can walk farther with my 15yo, but my DH leaks out and barely wants to walk at all. I try to encourage him to walk farther and he whines and complains! LOL!

I like working out in front of the TV watching like a good movie or a comedy (friends) just 1/2 I do. I have one of those Gazelle machines and I rol it from one room to another.. I realized that when I worked out to just music or in a room by myself I kept looking at the time..this way I'm looking at tv and I dont even realize the time...
