I've been feeling mighty lazy of late. I hadn't been to the gym in almost 2 weeks before this past Friday. Excuses abound: my sister was here, I'm tired, I'll go in the morning (yeah right..I tried that one quite a few times last week).
It's one of those things that if it's too difficult to do (too far away, etc) , you won't do it but if it's too easy you won't do it either. For instance, a home gym would never work for me as I know that I'll just keep pushing it off until later. My gym is across the street which isn't much better.
While I seem to constantly lack the motivation to go to the gym, the second I walk in, I settle right into my routine as if I hadn't had to drag myself through those doors.
I've been good the past few days though, not only did I go but I also increased the weight on every exercise I did.
If I can do that after not working out for almost 2 weeks maybe I've been too easy on myself even when I was working out before. As i type this right now, multiple parts of me are sore. My chest, abs, obliques and legs being the most of the bunch.
One other thing about going to the gym is that seeing other people working out can be a great motivator. It gives you something to aspire to, you know?

Good job on getting back to the gym...swimsuit season is right around the corner! ;-)
For me the toughest thing is trying to convince myself for the 10 minutes before I go to work out.
Once I decide to go, it is all good. I even push myself harder, and it all works out well.
I've realized that the best thing to do is to not argue with myself and just, rather mindlessly, pack up my gym stuff and go. That usually works.
