Joker77 Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Since I've joined the gym since my breakup, it has been wonderful therapy along with this message board. I recommend others do it too. I just got back and I feel really good. If I can just keep it that way.
EmperorR Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 I was thinking of this, i would rather box take my anger out on a punching bag though.
Riffmeister General Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Yeah, I've not been since the breakup, although I did go climbing, which although did take my mind off things, reminded me how quickly you lose shape for climbing if you don't go at least every other day!
Helioz Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 sure does, i got membership to a gym a couple of days after i got dumped and i gotta say that it raises your self esteem up a bit. I actually look forward to going to the gym every day, its sad but i feel like its the only time that im not hurting so i tend to stay there for 2 hrs.

I actually look forward to going to the gym every day, its sad but i feel like its the only time that im not hurting so i tend to stay there for 2 hrs. Same with me. It's kind of a weird thing with me. I have to go late at night for some reason.
Riffmeister General Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Wait till you start going in the morning, go home, then go back in the evening. That's when I knew I needed another hobby...
Trialbyfire Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Working out in any way, especially daily, creates its own high! Not only do you feel better, you look good too!

Trialbyfire Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 i concur, i noticed im starting to look damn sexy with my shirt off. 'Grats! Abs are good. Abs are nice!
Lovelybird Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 I love to work out, knowing appreciating your own body growing firm each day, nice feeling way to go guys !
belladonna Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Good to hear guys. Abs are hot I've been thinking about getting a membership at the school gym now that it's starting on Monday. Besides I was doing really well during the summer but have since gained some winter fat that needs burning! haha
Riffmeister General Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 I worked out regularly, and the one thing that kept me doing it was the knowledge that my g/f would like the results. She did. Then she left me for a fat, sweaty metaller. I've struggled to get the motivation to go since... Any suggestions?

Riffmeister General Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 for next girl who greatly appreciate your abs? Just feels so far away... Was working up to these three weeks, so I had a time goal. Maybe I should enter a marathon...
Trialbyfire Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Riffmeister, don't work out to please anyone else. Work out because it feels good!
Riffmeister General Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 Riffmeister, don't work out to please anyone else. Work out because it feels good! BUT I HATE IT! Well, I do like the results, but after 5 years, I've got really fed up of it. At least I had something to get me through that last set or that last mile. I'll think of something.

At least I had something to get me through that last set or that last mile. I'll think of something. Then do something else. I hate the gym so I work out at home daily with yoga/pilates and every second day, stairs. Maybe running will be your thing, as you mentioned previously.

Not my idea but that's great that you found something to do in the winter, that you enjoy! Now get busy getting back to feeling good and staying cut!
Knight_Ctrl Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 I agree man, I was working out every single day for like an hour and a half. Lost somewhere around 20 lbs, felt great. **** was so cash. Then I broke my ankle gained all that weight back, and have been feeling like piss all of the time. In short, keep crunching.
DSM-IV Tom Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 **** was so cash *Mental Note: All respect for Knight_Ctrl officially lost*
Geishawhelk Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 I don't understand. (it's probably an English problem!)
Knight_Ctrl Posted January 3, 2009 Posted January 3, 2009 *Mental Note: All respect for Knight_Ctrl officially lost* aaaaawwwwww =(

Totally. I do this in the non-winter/non-wet season months. If you do 5 - 7 kilometers per session, it really gets you going. A friend of mine and I were doing this daily, for a number of months before the weather turned really bad. She's a dedicated power walker so I was almost jogging, to keep up with her. It must have been funny to watch!
