Hellobee Boards

Good for you!! I did that about 8 years ago. I LOVE working out and seeing the results from it. I always get excited for other people to feel the same addiction, because it really is life changing.

I wish! DH & I joined a gym in Jan, and we were good that whole month but with the snow and everything, now we've gotten lazy already. I WANT to be addicted!

Congrats! I went through a phase like that after I had my DD.. it was such a great feeling to know I was fit and strong. Well, what did I do, I went and got pregnant It's harder to get the gym now with two kids so I've been doing more at-home type activities. It took all I had to do my squat challenge before hopping into the shower last night at midnight. I hope my schedule allows for more gym going in the future.

I am jealous! sometimes I get the urge when I'm overwhelmed to go run, but then I run 1/4 mile and am reminded how much I hate running. I really want to get to the point where I feel I "need" it

I'm getting like this now too. I recently took my first spin class and it was HARD but I felt really accomplished after. I got back into barre classes just yesterday and now I want to take a bunch more classes this week. I hope this kick lasts a long while!

Yup, I feels like this too. I have been doing a ton of running, and I think Ii still kind of hate it but I am addicted to the sense of accomplishment I get from going hard at the gym. I now get up and go at 6am, and I find that it is a great way to start my day. If I don't go in teh morning, then I probably won't make it. Also, my gym is in my building so I have no excuse.

Yep! Love it! Wish I could find more time to get back to Crossfit more than once a week, but so long as I'm SAH (2.5 more months) it just isn't going to happen. I long for the days when I was able to make it to the gym four days/week.

I haven't felt this way about working out in so long. When I was single I loved going to the gym and seeing results. I miss feeling fit and strong. I feel like when I have down time I want to veg on the couch and relax but I really should get my butt back to exercising. I hate the showering and changing in and out of workout clothes...but that's just me making excuses.

@mrsjyw: so awesome! if you don't mind my asking, where/how do you fit going to the gym into your weekly schedule?
i would really like to go to the gym (shred is ok at home, but i like the treadmill etc..., and it's too rainy and cold outdoors for running), but i can't seem to figure out what would work for us. i'm a sahm with 2 under 1.5 at the moment... maybe the 30d shred is the best it gets for now! haha

@heartonastring: I know what you mean! Going back to work (and putting my son in daycare) really helped me to get back into my old routines and manage my time better.

I'm fortunate that I have a flexible P/T (0.6) work schedule so I can work out in the morning on my days off or at 3:30pm before picking my LO up from daycare (but the 3:30 classes are really quiet so they're not as fun). A couple of nights a week I go to the 7:30pm class after we put LO to bed. I really like the night classes because they have a good vibe so I'm motivated to go!

@tysonja: I have 2 under 1.5 too and I've found, as hard as it is, early mornings work really well! I go at 5/5:30 so that I'm home by 6:30. When I get home I shower (since I can't guarantee ill get one if I don't before the kids are awake haha) and I've found that having the workout and shower done before they wake up really helps me get a good start to my day! It was really hard getting into the habit of waking up that early and going but now I depend on it! Good luck!

@Running Elley: you are my hero!! alright... i'm going to have to try this it's worth it
