3 yrs down and a lifetime to go

azredhead57 Posts: 1,651 Joined: 2003/04/11	2004/03/26, 06:04 PM This week marks 3 years since I joined the gym and started taking fitness seriously. At the time I wasnt sure I could stay motivated and my trainer told me that most people quit within the first 6 months. She said if I could get that far I would be more likely to make it a lifestyle. And at this point I cant imagine not working out or eating right for more than a couple weeks at a time. I am in the best shape of my life and feel that I can only get better from here on. So for those of you who are just starting out, hang in there and head for that 6 month goal. Good luck to all of you. :dumbbell:Lift Heavy:dumbbell: -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Do not be discouraged; everyone who got where he is, started where he was.--anon ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills

It'll be 8 months for me in a couple of days, and now I get angry at myself if I even miss one day of working out (3 times a week, although I haven't missed a day in over 3 months). If you would asked me that 3 months ago, I could have taken it or left it.. For those starting, keep going and it will become a habit and lifestyle.. Congrats again! I'll be striving to catch up to ya..

My program has improved a lot since finding this site and trusting the great people here. Here's to year #4. I hope it is full of great gains and huge losses. :big_smile: :dumbbell: :dumbbell: :dumbbell: -------------- ~Victoria~ ...Do not be discouraged; everyone who got where he is, started where he was.--anon ...There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.--Beverly Sills
