I spent a whole year exercising almost every day of the week. I felt amazing, my health was WAY better than it's EVER been...I've spent the last month sick and finally feel like I'm slowly rejoining the human race again. How can I get back into it? I don't have a fancy Bahamas trip to motivate me this time

Do you have a pair of jeans, or an outfit that you LOVE that you wouldn't dare try on right now? If so put that out in the open somewhere where you can see it everyday! Look at it as a reminder!
-
Look at old pictures of yourself at your prime, this is what I do to get myself back into gear!

Join the 30 day shred thread with us! It's 25 mins for the entire workout and 3 levels of 10 days each. It's been a really nice way to move back into working out, and now I'm doing 5 days a week. Woo!

@LuLu Mom: I love the picture idea!!
-
Start slow and make sure you do some type of exercise that you enjoy! Whether it's long walks, or a dance workout, or kickboxing, etc.
-
@MrsBrewer: oooohthats a good idea! There's a certain dress I wore this summer that I felt AWESOME in...maybe I'll hang it on my closet door!
@LuLu Mom: I might hang a few of our Bahamas pics on the fridge to stop myself from getting extras
@Bookish: I had the 30DS but jake broke my DVD haha...I might get it again tho!
@IRunForFun: I loved running at one point, LOVED it...I just fell off the wagon
-
@babyjmama: haha! Well, to motivate you further, the first level (which you do 10 days of) is on youtube!
-
Plan something fun that you want to look great for- a weekend trip to the beach or a budoir photo shoot to give your SO for your anniversary.
-
@babyjmama: Running can be the hardest thing to get back into, because it's SO discouraging not to be able to go as far/fast as you used to. But you could start by taking long walks and throwing in some jogging to build up endurance and get back to it!!!
-
@stine_ciro: oh I like that idea......hmmm.....!!
@IRunForFun: seriously! I was to the point that my time was good and my endurance was the bomb and I gave it all up and am SO mad at myself
-
@babyjmama: Putting a picture on the fridge reminds me of that Full House episode where DJ wanted to lose weight so she stuck photos of models on the fridge and ate ice on a stick, LOL.
You can get it back! Slowly but surely.

What worked for me is I would record some of my favorite shows and only allowed myself to watch them while on the treadmill or doing weights. I also tried to slot a time each day automatically.
-
@babyjmama: Start running again with me!!!!!! I've been working out but I've only gone on one run and I'm kind of chicken haha. We can motivate each other!
-
@IRunForFun: HAHAHAHA yes!!!
@Lindsay05: that's a great idea! Was your treadmill too loud to run/hear the tv?
@Running Elley: pleeeeeease!!!!!!
