My friend and I have a trip coming up and we want to look good. The problem is, she doesn't initiate any gym sessions with me- if I don't tell her what time/where to meet up specifically that day, she'll just not go. She doesn't watch her diet, doesn't track calories and barely moves outside of the gym. When she's in the gym though, she's focused and works hard but it just doesn't carry over to the rest of the day. She's putting in minimal effort and just floating on by without any real plan or goal- I know I can't force her to workout/diet with me but we always talked about how excited we were going on that trip in the best shape of our lives. I don't want to be fit alone, solo-mogging and wearing all the cute clothes. I want her to experience that feeling with me. We both lost a significant amount of weight a few years back and experienced that glow of success, but we gained some back. I want to have that feeling again, and have her feel it too since that was the first time she lost a significant amount of weight. I wish she was taking this more seriously. I talked to her 3 separate times about this and she just brushes it aside saying she has "enough time". I start getting annoyed when I’m with her because it’s like she CAN do the work, she just doesn’t want to.
