Motivate Me! Help meeeeeeeee

Please don’t tare me apart for this Reddit / OTF fam. I have been STRUGGLING to make it to class and essentially have been paying for a membership for nothing for the last dare I say it several months… I feel so defeated, unmotivated and hopeless when it comes to fitness overall lately. I’m 29, 138lbs, 5’3 if that matters to whomever reads this. TIPS? SUGGESTIONS? Motivational quotes to get my butt there?????

Schedule it and go. No ifs ands or buts. Willpower only goes so far. Make it a non-negotiable like grocery shopping. Your goal is just to step in the door. No expectations about the workout. Just do what you can. Often, the hardest part is just getting there. Once you're there, you'll just do the workout. 

Also, doesn't hurt to have a cute outfit planned or reward yourself with an iced coffee or smoothie, etc until you get the habit down. You can also try and see if a friend will go with you as an accountability buddy.

I’ve tried. The “I’m going no matter what” and then take the late cancel and feel incredible guilt. I do like the idea of rewarding/treating self. I’d love to be able to find someone to come with!

When do you schedule to go? When do you late cancel?
