“Pushing Through” by Melissa Schwab, Gold’s Gym Challenge Participant

Just three weeks into the challenge and already the workouts are becoming daunting. Nine weeks to go! Ugh! It feels like some days are just easier than others for getting a workout in. Today is a gloomy, overcast day (my little girl is home sick) and it makes me want to snuggle back into bed and NOT go to the gym. I feel like I have to pull out all the stops today. I tend to play tricks with myself to get through a workout. I upload new songs on my iPod, find a favorite show to watch, or cover the display so I’m not watching the minutes slowly pass. I would love to hear some feedback about what gets YOU through a workout. Everyday, or sometimes every minute, I feel like I’m faced with a decision that the will determine my success in this challenge. What am I going to eat and how much, when can I workout and how hard will I push myself during the workout. So I’m just trying to remind myself why I’m doing the challenge, and make every moment count.

    Melissa,
    I’ve been reading all your blogs and I’m so inspired and proud of you! Know that you are keeping me motivated and on track during the challenge! One thing that helps me is working out with a friend – she holds me accountable and makes sure I show up! Good luck and keep up the good work!

    Mellisa,

    If it makes you feel any better, even those of us who have been exercising most of our lives have days when we wrestle with going to the gtym. And funny how this happens on days when we need to get to the gym the most. For me I focus on how good I’ll feel after my workout! Keep up the great work!

    Melissa…my dear, sweet friend. I have sat here and read every one of your blogs today. I see you at the gym sweating and working hard and yet you always have a smile on your face. I’m SOoooo proud of you and your dedication to a healthier life. My motivation is likely the same as yours…those little people in our lives that say “will you play with us mommy, can you push me on the swing, CHASE ME!”. It’s ironic that I have to “get away” from them in order to make my time with them more meaningful. Keep up the good work my friend…your efforts are paying off (you look great!).

What do you think?
