gym apathy....

[thoreau]

i've been trying to think of ways to get excited about the gym - I've been experience gym apathy for the last week or so. I go - but begrudgingly - and don't push myself. I friggin' HATE going to the gym by myself. I know that part of it is that I powerfully romanticized working out with Rick so much - that its one of the last remnants of missing him in my life and its one of the last pieces of the "Rickisode." But how do I reclaim the excitement for going to the gym? I just hate being a iPod wearing zombie wandering from machine to machine. I've had to work out partners do well for about a week or so - then both of them found other things to be doing. I think part of it is that I like being at the gym by 545am or so. Thats early. But it's packed by 615am. so - I'm not the only morning gym guy in the world. so - what do to do? thoughts would be appreciated.

I've pretty much stopped the weight machines altogether in my apathy and am only doing cardio. That was my main objective when I started all this anyway, heart healthy and all that.

But... even in my best days of doing the full weights and cardio work out I was never able to make myself to my abs and crunches. Seems the only time I get an ab work out is when someone is straddling my chest and I'm doing my sit ups to go down on him. Huh... looky at that TMI again.
