I've been pondering my lack of motivation over the last few months, specifically this summer, and I've come to a conclusion. My ship has sailed on working out at home
Gasp...did I just say that out loud??
Losing 100+ pounds at home with DVDs is one of my greatest life accomplishments. I am so very proud of this! It took a lot to stick with it when I was hitting my weight loss hard and heavy.
I've found it very difficult to push play lately and the reason is that I'm not feeling challenged. My body and brain work on constant challenges. It's time to do something different. I've never been a big fan of the gym but I do like going to the YMCA.
The YMCA has so many other things to offer outside of fitness and it's a very family oriented atmosphere. The girls always loved going to the Y in Seattle.
Not saying I'm going to trade in all of my DVDs, but my goal is to transition the majority of my workouts to the Y. I'm happy and excited! I've already got my membership so I'm all set to get going!
Surely I'll be posting soon about my Spinning addiction..I mean I really got hooked that first time around! I'd also like to jump in and try different types of classes, reviews about those will come as I go through them.
When you think about lack of motivation, always try to think about solutions as well. There's nothing worse than sitting back and just watching all of your hard work falter. I refuse to be a statistic...I figure out ways to make things happen!
*side note* First time back on the spin bike last night..felt like old times!!! Hooked!

Hi Meesh! It's good to hear you again and see you're continuing to press on with something new that will work for you. You always inspire!
I need your mojo...I can't seem to find the time for home or gym! LOL
I don't know how you do it but its so inspiring to me. I'm just getting started on my weight loss journey and I've heard great things about the Y.
I know this new strategy will work wonders for you girl. I'm starting with baby steps walking every day but you've motivated me to pick up the pace with a cardio workout too!

That's the best motivational statement I have heard all day! Good luck with the YMCA!
Sometimes a change is the best way to get our motivation back. Good luck at the YMCA and welcome back!!!!
When I had a JOB and a YMCA membership (*wink*) I LOVED IT!!! They have so many cool classes!!!! I loved Zumba!
Thanks ladies and gent for the love! This is just the change that I needed! Working out at home was great and I accomplished a lot. I am on a different level now *sigh*
