scared and need some support/accountability

When I made my first move to join the gym, it was you guys that held me accountable and told me I could do it and just to walk in there with my head high like I own the place.  I did that in January and have worked out for an hour/5 days a week ever since.  I also bike about 10 miles at least one evening a week.

This may sound stupid but I can't work out this week (at least like my usual routine) and I am scared to death I will fall off the wagon.  Its like the bad habits are just waiting around the corner and I don't want to fail.  I can't hit the gym at my 5:30 a.m. because hubby is gone this week. So....I have to be creative and try to get some exersize at home.  Also, I might be able to pull off going to the gym or either Wed or Thurs evening and bring my son for them to watch in their kiddie room.

Okay here is what I need...please check in with me next week to make sure I am hitting the gym again at my normal time. Somehow if I think you will be checking up on me, it will help me to not slip up.  Weird, I know especially since I have never met most of you.  But you guys know and understand a part of me that most of my real life friends and family don't understand.  Okay not to say that y'all are not real life friends! ha ha!!!!  You know what I mean!  Thank you for hanging in there and reading this whole thing! -Amy

Amy i will ask you everyday...good thing i dont have your number or I would call you at 5:30 am.
BTW when  I use to go to the gym...I would take my niece and nephew  it was the only way I could go).instead of sittng around watching tv and playing games they got to exercise too...

Thank you!  I have class tonight until 10:00 so no chance of doing anything tonight but hopefully I can take Austin to the gym with me tomorrow after work.

Amy, I have a business card that I made up....It says I am a life consultant. I can fix other's problems but none of my own....I can be your cheerleader this week if you need me. Or I can be what you need to get through this.....
I on the other hand have missed going to Aspen gym for a few weeks and need to get my butt down there....I hate going alone but also love going alone. I am sorry, I just hate it! I hate exercising!! I hate lifting weights, working on the machines and riding the bikes! I feel people are laughing at me since I am laughing at myself! I can go like 10 seconds on the eliptical!! I hate that machine too! I have this great daughter who is the Personal trainer from hell and at times I hate that child! She thrives on exercise!!  I have a little adjusting to bring myself to go down and work out.....ok well alot of it....But I do not enjoy it! Am I the only freak here who hates this....but yet knows we HAVE to do this??
You can do it. I know you can....You are more dedicated than I am...I have worked in my garden and done some things in the yard....but as far as exercise goes.....I need brain surgery!
I believe that I may be dysfunctional concerning that too....Man am I a mess! Dr. Keller would really make money off me lately! LOL I will get through this too....I just had to confess to another issue I have that I plan on working on! .....maybe.....soon.....I'm thinking about it.....

Sherry I know exactly what you mean about being able to fix others issues but at a loss in dealing with some of my own! LOL!  Yes I need a cheerleader!!!!  Please keep after me and make sure I don't fall off the wagon.  I'm so nervous that this will be too easy to just fade out of the exercising thing.  Thanks for your support, I really need it.

Amy, I will help hold you accountable. I know once you break a routine it is hard to get back to it. You will do it though. I know you will. You are destined for success. hang in there.
Emily
