I agree Lady G, I like looking back on my lifts as well. I also enjoy the online challenges because when I’m not training I spend a lot of time online!

I like the idea of those online challenges! I have a paper workout diary where I record each new PB for my weights on the date I achieve them. It is very satisifying to see that improvement over time!

Pink dumbbells is not as bad as it sounds – heavy dose of irony! Although it is mainly fat loss oriented.

When I suffer from low motivation it is usually because something else is awry in my life and it has an knock-on effect on the training.

One thing I did today to cheer myself up was to go and look round a new gym, pretending I was thinking about joining. It’s kind of interesting seeing new set-ups, new equipment etc. Turns out this gym isn’t bad at all, got a reasonable weights room and so on. So I might actually think about it!

“pink dumb bells” God I hate that name! Will click through to see if it’s as lame as the it sound. “..because I don’t want to get all bulky…”

When I lose motivation, I go back over all my past workout journals and find a workout I haven’t done in a while, or check websites for a change up on a routine. (one reason I read you all the time). Normally low motivation is just boredom.
