For those of you that go to the gym, what do you want to get out of it? What kind of workouts do you do? Myself, I am primarily going for weight loss for the next 11 weeks. I am in my companies Biggest Loser Weight Loss Challenge. It is a 12 week competition and I lost 5 pounds the first week. I started at 218 and would like to drop down to the 170's.
I won the competition last year but only lost 20 pounds before I hit a rough stretch (grandmother died, sick for 2 weeks, and back was hurting) and lost my motivation. I want to also put on some muscle (not Schwarzenegger muscle) after dropping the weight. I'm afraid if I start doing weight training I will put on muscle weight that will counter the lost weight from losing fat. That is why I am probably going to stick to cardio until this is over.
What do you do to keep motivated? Right now I am finding something interesting on Netflix to watch while I do cardio for about an hour (elliptical). My end motivation is the main thing. By September, I want to be in the best shape of my life for my 15 year wedding anniversary. The wife and I are planning a nice vacation to one of the island with just the two of us. It will be the first vacation like that we will have taken without our kids.
