I've been to the gym almost every day for the last two weeks. I know that sounds like a lot, but there is method in my madness.
One of the things I've learned is:
Use my enthusiasm for something new to help build a habit.
So, at the moment I'm really loving the gym. I'm going 6 times a week. When the novelty wears off a bit in a few weeks, if I drop back to 4 or 5 times a week - it won't matter, because that will still be plenty. But, if I'd started at 4 times a week, I might struggle to maintain that.
If you're worried that I might be neglecting Moose, don't be. I go to the gym in the morning and he still gets his walk at night - although not always 5km these days!
Oh, by the way, take a look at my weight loss record. That's right, 30kg - gone forever!

30kg is fantastic - wow you must feel so much better. Your a great inspiration. Have a wonderful weekend. Enjoyed your walking thoughts post too. lb
Well done on another awesome loss!! 30kg is such an achievement! I agree with you - keep hitting the gym while you enjoy and when (if) the novelty wears off you can cut back.
Great work!!
They say it takes six weeks to form a new habit...keep it up:)
30 kg gone! Wow! That is unreal! Congratulations.
I know for myself that if I go more than 3 times at the gym per week it all becomes a bit too much, so don't worry if you end up dropping it back. But do ride that wave while it lasts! Good on you.
Time for a visit to the City Mission!!! Congratulations, you are a star!
So close to those double digit figures now Sue.
Congratulations on another great week.
Have a lovely weekend.
Brilliant! It's so great when you find something you enjoy. I feel the same about cycling right now (morning + night) but I reckon I'll drop down to once a day soon enough. WOO HOO on 30kgs!!! This is very cool. I hope you have a great weekend :-)

Well done on another great loss! :-) I'm hoping to build a bit of that enthusiasm for myself this week!! Thanks for being so inspiring!
30kgs is amazing. Keep up the good work. Your gymming effort is something to aspire to.
Good shit. I hope you don't mind me saying shit on your comments?? I would just about be doing a nude bum dance if I had lost 30kg forever. And good on you for the excellent gym going record. They say it only takes two weeks to make a habit.
6 times a week!
Bloody hell you crazy woman!
(keep up the good work!!)
I hope you are having a great week Sue! :-)
30kgs! That is wonderful! The gym habit sounds great too.
Hi Sue. Hope you had a gread week and are having a good weekend. :)
I have to agree with your gym and walking enthusiasm. You see, I go to the gym five days a week. 1 day is for walking only and the other is for pure rest (eg; absolutely no physical activity).
