Winter :(

How do you motivate yourself to workout in the winter with below 10 F and a lot of snow out there?

I try to tell myself I am ugly and fat but by the time i am done motivating myself I am too depressed to have energy to workout :bummer:

I hate winters! All I wanna do is cuddle up, watch tv and drink hot choc :bummer:

Re: Winter :(

Wait til spring :)

Re: Winter :frowning:

You are ugly and fat.

There, did that help motivate you? :halo:

Now tell me that I’m ugly and fat so I start working out too :frowning:

Re: Winter :frowning:

Obviously ur fiance doesn’t think ur fat or ugly.. he musta found somethin abt you he liked enuff :blush: So take comfort in that someone important finds u beautiful in and out :hug:

Re: Winter :(

Indoor gyms?

Re: Winter :frowning:

:smack: offcourse its indoors, I am talking about getting there..doesnt winter have any effect on you?

Sara my fiance is amazing, I can go on forever about him, no complaints there. And hes not into skinny girls anyways he loves me the way i am :blush: but i am sure he wouldnt mind if i lost a few hundred pounds and became more active and healthier.

Mady You are FAT and UGLY and SHORT and you need to get your behind moving :stuck_out_tongue:

Re: Winter :frowning:

I dunno wat’s gonna motivate you! Only you can help yourself..

I know when i go to Pak i’m gonna have shiitloads of comments thrown at me for the way I look under the guise of “we’re only trying to help!”… but does that stop my losery self from eating ice cream? no… n i tried to start working out and stuff earlier this yr, but its like each time i do it i think.. wats the damn point, skipping one candy bar isn’t gonna undo 15 yrs of damage.. i know it’s not healthy attitude n thas wat i shud work on first before anything.. :halo:

Re: Winter :(

my motivation comes from comparisions.. NOBODY in the family is fit enough to run a couple of miles or can lift 150 pounds or blah blah blah...

i had to work REALLY hard to get these results.. curves and shape came naturally.. i keep myself motivated by saying if i dont do this, i wont be able to STAY like this, if i eat THAT, there will be excessive calories which i wont have work for....

and last, i have saved my 36" pair of jeans from old days when i used to eat out of frustration, and had a desk job at my present place.. i call them inspiration-jeans.. as looking at them, REMINDS me of the lazy fat faizy..

try finding something negative if u must, cuz once u get inside gym, its really easy..its just the matter of getting there..

Re: Winter :frowning:

Lazy Faizy.. :hug:

Re: Winter :(

I agree with Sara516, u will have to tell urself to get up and move...it's all in ur attitude, if u say "na, it's cold...i'm tired", u will never even get up and start...tell urself ur worth it and also try wot faizy said...sometimes it helps to think negatively just a tad bit. I like running when it's cold outside, but not too cold...when's it's freezing or i don't feel like going out, i just exercise in my room. Good luck :)

Re: Winter :(

One way to motivate yourself is to run to the gym.

Re: Winter :(

burn your favorite songs that motivate you and energize you. listen to them while you work out. it also helps if u dont eat anything 1-2 hrs prior to gym time... because if you have just eaten you will feel heavy and lazy. once u get started be patient and note down the positive results you see in the way you look AND feel and use that as a motivation.

Re: Winter :frowning:

sigh I am gonna make myself go to the gym again today but I haev to have my chai first :yummy:

Re: Winter :(

^ hahaha. Today I didnt go running becasue I needed chai and ran out of milk.

Re: Winter :frowning:

^ So run to the grocery store to buy the milk :mocking:

Re: Winter :frowning:

I feel your pain Tikhi. The problem with me is that I am not losing any weight and I’m only eating one meal a day :crying:

Re: Winter :(

^^ if u dont eat enough or not exercise your body converts muscles to fat in order to survive...
metabolism slows down(food breaks down slower-again a survival mechanism) eat 5 small meals a day atleast or eat lots fruits+veggies if u are worried about calories.

Re: Winter :(

when i see guys drolling over those models who have fake boobs and lift up buttocks crap. I get motivated :D

Re: Winter :frowning:

Guys dont matter to me and my guy doesnt droll over those women :confused:

Re: Winter :(

Winter is a time to stay inside, stay warm, eat lots of carbs and hibernate. Make sure you've collected enough nuts.
