I have been trying to save money and not renew my gym membership. Ive survived since September. Its very hard for me because I love the gym. Ive managed to keep up my running (except December) but not my weight lifting. It is getting harder to get out for a run with the snow and freezing temperatures though. Its hard to motivate yourself to go outside when its freezing and the winds blowing. I just have to put my running clothes on and not think about it because usually thats the hardest part. Just getting out the door. Once Im out there it feels great and it only takes about 10 minutes to warm up and feel comfortable. Sometimes when Im running at night and its snowing it feels magical.
But its a different story with lifting weights at home. When I go to the gym I do all the different machines and I spend more time lifting weights. Also being in a small house with 6/7 people in it, its nice to get out. Also with other people around you tend to show off and train harder.
I may just give in and renew my membership. I thought of just getting a membership for the pool and the indoor track but its not that much cheaper.
Anyways...this Sunday it was easy to get out because it was a beautiful winter day, sunny and crisp. I ran 6K and when I got home I did weights with my arms and also sit-ups and stretching.
I'll see how I do this week.
