    Do you have another friend or family member you can recruit? I know I go if I feel obliged to go with someone other than DH. I know I can say no to DH for no real reason, but I don't feel like I can to my friends or a family member.

    Are you a member of a gym?
    The good thing about a gym is that the weather is irrelevant so you can't use it as an excuse. And if you commit to some of the classes the the time is already set for you.

    I put it into my diary.

    I also found that personal training was good, even to get started. That way I had an appointment with someone and it would be totally rude not to turn up. Also a complete waste of $$$.

    I hope you find what you are looking for.

    The reality is you just need to commit to it. I read an interesting article on Sunday that talked about Michelle Bridges saying motivation is rubbish and you need to make exercise a non negotiable rather than wait for motivation to strike. So hard when you are juggling lots of things tho. So here trying for 3 x 1hr morning jog/walks as a weekly minimum. I feel heaps better in myself too so find it worth doing once I have got the happy hormones going.
