Weightloss Wednesday: Oh hello, WEIGHT GAIN

You guys, I'm struggling. I'm struggling with actually doing. I have the motivation, I have the ability thanks to my ridiculously amazing inhaler, but I don't have the gumption to get up and go.

No gumption to do it.

I've got my six month YMCA membership, I've used it once for 30 minutes of walking the track. I've done my Beachbody YouV2 workouts and I hate them but I'm trying to mute the guy and play my own music but man, half way through I'm like, "It's OK, I'll just be fat, it's totally fine!".

Then I go to the doctor to get my six month endocrine check and hello 210 pounds, did not miss you but here we are. Besties again.

Where do I find the gumption?

Knowing that I'll be practically naked for a photo shoot wasn't enough of a gumption-getter.

I don't know what will be.

Gumption is tough. I find that you just have to do it. I rarely ever want to do it. But I know I need to to feel better.I think if I just push myself, it'll become a habit and I'll just do it whether I want to or not. I have ZERO energy today to go, but I know I need to get to the gym today. I've only been twice since signing up.

Oh gosh, I feel you. I'm planning on joining the gym at my old college because it's not too expensive for alumni, but I know it's going to be tough to even WANT to go. I'm really hoping I can try some classes they offer and that might help out a bit. I do take dance classes every Friday night though, and I'm usually pretty good at doing those - I don't always WANT to go, but I enjoy it once I'm there. I think it's different for everyone though...people are always saying "find something active that you enjoy!" but not everyone likes being active that much, or they can't afford what most interests them, etc. so it's tough, I feel you.
