I'm at the gym, over all happy with results so far, just lately no motivation. I'm here today which is better than most days lately. How do you get/stay motivated?

I don't do the gym. I do martial arts. Since it's a class four days a week, I have to be there. Other people ask about me when I'm gone. The studio had its own Facebook group where everyone discusses classes.

The point is, I wouldn't go to a gym either. I hate them. So find something that is fun and that will make you accountable.

I do karate as well. It was 2x a week now it's just 1 til holidays are past. Happy to say I am an orange belt already, working towards green. Before surgery when I started in January I was at the gym at least 3 days a week most of the time 4. Even with adding karate in May. I just seem so worn down lately. Not tired or sleepy just worn out. I did get 30 minutes on the treadmill in so that's something.

That's really awesome and a great solution! I'm getting into rock climbing but I really do need a group of people who to hold me accountable.

I agree that going to be gym can be a challenge. Especially if you're like me and you used the gym to punish yourself with exercise in the past.

Martial arts, a dance troupe, a group of rock climbers, hikers, bikers. I think friends and accountability are the way to go.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
