Falling off the Bandwagon?

This week for me has not exactly been one of my best weeks ever on the workout front......my little bambino was sick all week and shared the germs with her mom, I swear to god I feel someone has come to my house and stolen every drop of energy and motivation from me! Since last Monday I've been up to the Gym 1 time and had to totally talked myself into going. Honestly once I started my workout I did fine and actually felt much better afterwards but just getting started was a chore.

Does anyone ever worry about falling off the bandwagon so to speak? Like 4 days off from working out will turn into a 3 month couch fest? I think if I didn't workout and stay active it would be really bad not only for my ass but mentally....I really need the workouts for my PMA so I guess it just kind of scares me that I will get out of my routine and let it all go to crap.

At the Gym yesterday I did talk with a few of the regulars and they are all feeling the same way at the moment......no motivation, energy and just feel basically like they are going through the motions so I guess I'm not alone! Maybe it has something to do with the weather being so cold and dreary out, it would help every one's spirits just to have some sun and be able to get outside for some good clean air. The thought of my Summer Bike rides with the girls sounds so nice! My little one still rides on the back of my bike and its also good for me and older one.........on our bike rides she and I have the best conversations, I get to hear all the good 6th grade Drama! For me its the best time of year.....mom gets her cardio and girl at the same time.....girls get mom, cardio and slurpee's for the ride home. Hopefully the Groundhog was correct and we really do only have 6 weeks until Spring because this momma needs some sun and motivation. Can't even imagine living in Alaska, sure it is beautiful but it would not be a good spot for me.

Tonight I did actually tell my friend Carolyn to meet me at the Gym at 7pm so we could workout together and go for Ice Tea's afterwards, if I know that I've got a commitment at the Gym I am more likely to show up for my workout! I guess that is what I'm going to have to do until I find what I'm missing at the moment, just make a showing at the Gym instead of waiting for the motivation before I go, otherwise I just might not be going.
