Need somebody & general chit chat

well done Taz, we try to go 2-3 times a week too mondays, tuesdays & fridays. would go more i think but have other comitments on other days. i also do exercise at home on a thursday with my friend, if i know she is coming i cant get out of it like i would if it was just me doing it at home
 
It helps to have some structure to it so you can't make excuses. I train for my martial arts on Monday Wednesday and Thursday nights so I try not to go to the gym on those days. Sunday and Tuesday are my official gym days but I am also going on a wednesday morning after WI at the moment and sometimes on a friday
 
Agreed going with someone always makes you not able to buckle at the last minute and also truth be told once you start it you generally enjoy it and feel so glad that you did go.

I always used to ONLY go if I was with someone else but I have more confidence now and I rejoined the gym on my own so I go on my own. That way I have no excuses like "my mate can't make it today so I wont go". I surprised myself when I went to my first session and followed that with a swim - all on my own! I now, as Bren says, really enjoy it so I LIKE to go
 
That's great Taz. I've been going for years and only ever fall off the wagon for the longest a month. Then I start going 1 or 2 times a week and get back into it. I'm trying to go every second day and for 45mins only as I dont want it to seem like a chore!

I do a set programme and I don't really notice the time going by. I do what I have to do then I'm done! I can watch TV whilst doing all the cardio stuff as all the equipment has TV screens built into them so the time flies by. I only commit to 2 days a week which is why my programme is so long but I am frequently getting more sessions in
 
i would go more often but am at work. the problem with going monday , tuesdays and fridays is the big gaps in between so its harder to get motivated again. but we are gettin there. we also have to go late as my fear of people means i cant go when its busy.

but i do enjoy it when im there
 
MB have you always been scared with the people thing?

How late is your gym open??

Hey Bren,

been really busy at work and can only come on here dinner times, but some dinner times i have to walk home to let my dogs out so i dont get on at all lol

the gym, well my gym is open till 10pm its not a 24hour one. also opens too late in a morning for me to go and then get to work. i normally go about 8.30 ish and its ok then.

yep always been a big scardy cat. not too good when i live in a busy tourist town. in summer i get very stressed as tourists always seem to want to walk as slow as possible right in front of me ha ha

got our water maching back at work now so topping up on the old water.

went a really long walk with the dogs last night and now my knees hurt haha

hope your well

Hey good to see you are doing well hun. Our gym produces a member usage chart so you can see when the quietest times are!
 
Well you sound like between the gym and the walks to let the dogs out you are getting ample exercise.

I'm getting ready for work and this morning, hopefull now as I lost, I am past the plateu I've been stuck on for about 2 weeks!

Because we have similar goal weights and I thought you might be the same height as me and you are!
