Reminders
Every time you go to the gym you may not lose weight, in fact you probably won’t, but there are some things that one trip could do:
- One trip to the gym could keep you from gaining some weight.
- One trip to the gym could give you some extra energy.
- One trip to the gym could keep you from overeating that one night.
- One trip to the gym could put you in a better mood.
- One trip to the gym could remind you how strong you are.
- One trip to the gym could give you some extra confidence.
These are the reasons I try to remind myself of when I’m driving home from work and all I want to do is get into my pjs and zone out the entire world. Sometimes they work sometimes they don’t. With the bitter cold temperatures and the snow covered ground it’s been harder than usual.
Thanks for the reminders. At 6 in the morning i need some of those. Because at 6 in the morning (ok any time of day) I am not motivated by weight or visual results. But for confidence, self esteem, strength, energy. Yea, now that’s worth it.

@Krystal, of course forgetting your gym bag at home is a great way NOT to go to the gym, sigh.

Those are all great reminders. Thanks, Robin.

Love your reasons for working out. I have to say that the reason I work out in the morning is because I just wouldn’t do it after work. I’m so not a night person.

@Jess (Fit Chick in the City), I have to leave the house at 6am with more than 1 hour commute so mornings are basically impossible. plus my current gym doesn’t have a shower.

in the Winter it is so hard to get up and go to the gym, the hardest, so if you make it there you won most of the battle!
