Fitness Accountability

So wedding is about 30 days out. I'm a bit fitness minded but have a hard time self-motivating. I do great with a fitness support group or when I'm obligated to someone to workout with. Can anyone:1. Recommend a good fitness support forum. Or2. Want to commit to starting a fitness support group...

Today: I walked the dog, jogged about a mile, then did chest presses and ab work at the gym.
I'm wanting to do something everyday for the next 30+Would love support to make sure I do. Any recommendations?

    Oh that’s awesome that you have a trainee! That would be so helpful in staying accountable haha.

    It is, but I only see her once a week - at best. So, on weeks I don't see her and on those other 6 days of the week, self-motivating becomes extremely challenging.

    Yesterday was a challenge. Zero desire - when I woke up - to exercise. But... somehow I powered through. Pup jogged 1.5m with me. Then I ventured to the gym for weight training.


    Today will be a time challenge. I have an appointment this morning, errands to run and fiance's b'day dinner. Working out may not happen. Ugh. Wish me luck.

    I wish you all the luck. I'm sorry I had not replied. My world collapsed for a while. My mom is recovering from hip surgery and is being ungrateful with her caretaker. And my dog almost died! She's much better now. Will start with the exercise plan again tomorrow! Send me best wishes please!

    Oh no. Much support and wishes coming your way. This is what I mean by life getting in the way. I hope all is getting better for you. Breathe. Deep breath. Exhale. You got this.

    Deep breaths is what I did today. My doggie has been better. Did some "summer cleaning" today and that helped exercise a bit. Also cleaned the leafs in our back yard. Mantained a well balanced diet as well. Tried some crafts for our cake topper and organized all of the wedding gifts for the guests. Keep the good work! You can do it!

    Glad the pup dog is doing better. Also glad you were able to get things done and stretch the body out a bit. How does the upcoming week look at being able to keep you on track?


    As for me, I was able to get out for a walk Thursday, Friday was a bust. Today was able to get out for a jog with the pup. Hoping for a jog and gym time on Sunday. My trainee is not available this coming week, so sadly no kickboxing. All sef-motivation this week. Ugh.

    Forever the rallier. It's what I do.
    Ali. Kimberly. - We're sitting at 2 weeks! Physically, are you ready? At best we can do some last minute tweaks. How do you feel?

    I’ve been keeping up with my workouts during the week, but hiking on the weekends is my usual go-to and that’s been impossible in this heat. 😭 I also have been having trouble sticking to my diet. So I’m a little sad that I was super disciplined earlier in the summer but now am falling off in this final stretch.


    How’s this week looking for you?!? And Karla, I hope both your mom and your dog are doing better!

    My week is going ok. I didn't get a workout or cardio in Tuesday,but got full cardio and weights in today. Tomorrow will simply be cardio but I'm on track to be able to do something everyday....until Sept 5th, which is when we leave for Vegas. If I'm not where I want to be by then, it's not gonna happen. As for eating.....all was good til someone brought cupcakes into work. Ugh. It is what it is.


    Stay focused. We got this!

    God love the puppy dog.
    After getting a broken 5hrs of sleep, I had ZERO to go for a jog this afternoon. It was hot outside (high 80s) and I was far from being motivated to do anything. Pup, becoming a creature of habit, sat whimpering at the front window.
    You guessed it. I gave in and headed out for a jog. Only did 1.25 mile, but made it out just the same. Ultimately... I'm glad I did. Tomorrow (Fri) should be full cardio and weights.

    That’s awesome!!! Good dog, puppy!! Unfortunately my dog can’t go longer walks anymore, so they are short and slow haha.


    Good luck with your cardio and weights today! I did weights yesterday, and my arms are feeling it. I leave next Friday morning, so I’m in the final week!

    Weekend off and I was able to relax....a bit. Out for a hike Sat morning. Temp was ok but humidity was off the chart. Cut the hike short cause pup was panting profusely. Got 3.25 miles in, but felt like a terrible fur-momma for not bringing water....for either of us.


    Back to kickboxing tonight!
    Kimberly, you said you're taking off Friday. Destination wedding? Where to? We head to LV Sept 5th.

    Sounds like you are doing a great job. I can barely keep up with my daily tasks. But will get back to it tomorrow. I'm on nights unfortunately so I only get a few hours off. Hurricane coverage is also a possibility. Will try to exercise at the hospital!

    Stay focused. Don't get discouraged. Life often gets in the way of us taking care of ourselves. Beating ourselves up over it is counter productive. When life is crazy, set realistic goals. Even if it's just taking a walk. Hang in there v

    Good morning Tierra. I started this thread. And although my wedding day has come and gone, I'm happy to support you. What type of fitness support would you like? I know how busy life is in general. It seems even more busy leading up to your big day. How can I help?

    Accountability in fitness is like having a supportive partner or team to keep you motivated and on track with your goals. They cheer you on, provide encouragement, and help you stay committed to your fitness journey.
