I definitely have a love/hate relationship with my gym. Love the results when I'm actually going, but hate the way I'm too sore to do anything after not being there for a few weeks. If it's not one thing (parent conferences, after school meetings), it's another (having strep throat, being on prescription meds for like a month) and I feel like I can never go consistently. So I can't get to that point where I'm able to run my brains out for an hour (ha...I'm drenched after only 30 minutes of a steady run at this point) or where I can actually lift day after day. My muscles are in such shock after just one day of being worked that when I even try get of bed in the morning they're like, "Jigga what!?" and plead their point of not going for day 2 by cramping up on me. Nice, guys. Thanks.I guess I probably shouldn't have gone today since I'm still under the influence of strep, however, I am to the point of no return! I am done waiting to be "healthy" before going back (or I may never make it!) and I am challenging my immune system. What up! I ran and lifted today and I am DETERMINED to go tomorrow...even if that means going at like 8:00 once I finally get home from meetings and such. This is day 1 of a new phase. The phase called, well, "Going back to the gym" I suppose... At least, until I realize I can't do it without sleep. Ha! Stay tuned. I'll need the encouragement so I don't give up!! This is something that I truly want to do!

funny that you posted this today. i actually worked out for 2 1/2 hours yesterday. i have been sick or busy every day for the past month and a half. it's crazy....i always feel like if i wait till i feel like going to the gym, then i will be more committed...when the truth is...i am never really going to feel like it. SO yesterday was the first day of this timeless renewed commitment. good luck to you!
