How not to motivate yourself to keep going to the gym
Motivation on week two of being back in the gym is waning. Perhaps the following has contributed?
Step 1. Go out on the lake and have your upper body become very sore from holding onto a tow rope
Step 2. Go to the gym the following day while still sore and lift weights for those very same muscles. At a heavier weight then you'd done previously.
Step 3. Wince in pain every time you lift your arms or stretch your back.
That said, I'm getting better about running - ok, really it's using the damn lifercise machine or whatever it's called - for longer and at a higher level. Which just means that I'm getting back to the level and time that I was able to do when I stopped going to the gym previously...
