• I have been really good about going and I deserve a break
• I'm already hot and sweaty and I'm gonna feel really icky after working out

...and then I kicked my own butt, went in, and did my circuit.

I feel much better about it now.

OMG I really do have this problem, so I sympathize with you. I've always thought up every excuse in the book for not getting a workout in but really we don't have any excuses, we just think we do ........... its mind over matter. I've given so many people this advice and am just not starting to take my own advice, so far so good

I'm going to ignore the scale this go-round. I got all wrapped up it last time, and it started bumming me out after a while. I really do want to drop 20 pounds, but I'm hyper-focused on my belly (could very well be a vanity thing???).

I know all about getting wrapped up in the numbers on the scale etc because its so widely used and everyone tells you to use that to gauge how well your doing. I'm trying to use how my clothes fit, how much better I feel as a better way of really telling if I'm doing things right
