As you know by now, I work out five days a week and have been doing for over two years now — but unlike most people I have definitely not grown to love working out. I still hate it as much as I did this time two years ago when I was 5 stone heavier and hadn’t partaken in any physical exercise since I was at school.

I keep hoping that it will come to me, the enjoyment that other people seem to get from it, but I am not holding out much hope. I have to drag my (now considerably smaller, thank you very much) behind into my work out gear and onto my elliptical or out to the gym every single time I do it.

There are many things I don’t like about working out, all the obvious ones like it’s hard, I get bored and there are things I would rather spend that time doing — but one of the worse things is the sweat, I hate it!!

OK I don’t imagine any one likes it but it really makes me cringe. I know that it’s a good thing to sweat, it means you are working hard and burning those calories, but does it need to be quite so gross?

When I go to the gym and take one of my travel towels with me it actually freaks me out all the way home, knowing it’s in my bag all covered in sweat. The first thing I do when I get home is kick off whatever I have on my feet, but the second thing is throwing that towel in the washing machine. I can’t relax until it’s out of my bag.

I should really try and be less anal about it, huh?
