I feel the same. way. Wish I knew!

Same with cleaning the house! ha!

working out releases endorphins that make you feel better mentally and physically, plus increase energy levels... eventually it will get easier as you start really desiring that positive rush... I just need to get off my butt and get started. Congrats to all that are pushing themselves and keep going!

Yeah Kim that's it. I feel great after I work out. Like I have accomplished so much. But OMFG I hate going. It is sooooo hard to get it going. I go to the Y by my house but there is one by my job also and I have been going there so I won't have to pass home.

I was just saying today how if I go home and cook myself dinner, eat and change clothes I will clean the house and hit the gym every single time. If I go home and sit down on the couch I will make myself a Lean Cuisine and not move the rest of the night. It's everything I can do sometimes not to let myself sit down right when I get home- because I know I won't get back up til bed time aside from some core work but I just slide down from my perch onto the floor for that lol.

Thanks so much for all the helpful hints and awesome responses. It's good to know that I am not the only one who "works" this way.

I used to use this - I just would NOT sit down until I started dinner. Not even to take off my shoes. It was just too dangerous! I might tell myself I could just do a little prep, and then sit before finishing, but of course, once I started I always finished. I REALLY need to re-instate this policy It amazed me how something so simple made such a difference.

Yes! Those first steps out the door or INFINITELY harder than anything I do at the gym.

I think knowing yourself helps. I know I will not go to the gym after work. I'm tired, I'm hungry, I'll find an excuse to not work out. But if I set an alarm by my workout clothes the night before, in the morning, I have to get up to turn it off. If I'm up, I might as well go.
