Just as with everything else there will be plenty of days when you simply don't feel like exercising when you are supposed to or not really care what goes in your mouth. We all have those days so don't think that you are alone.
Here are some things to remember when you have those days.
1.) Remember that God is not the author of failure. Deuteronomy 31:6 says, "Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."
2.) Change your routine up. It may be that you are starting to plateau or get bored. Keep it exciting and unpredictible and you will be more energized.
3.) Involve others in your quest. Other people that are motivated to do this will also motivate you.
4.) Make a covenant before the trinity. The trinity has made several covenants with you and has never left or forsaken you. Now it is your turn to do the same for the trinity.
Times will get hard, that is to be expected. What really matters is how you react and the seed that you sow. Stay stedfast, unmoveable, and unshakeable for your health.

Class or No Class
Every gym overs classes. Whether or not you participate is solely up to you. There are some basic benefits as well as disadvantages to classes. Take them into consideration and then make your decision. Some of the benefits are as follows.
1.) You can take a variety of classes so that your body does not plateau as quickly.
2.) You can use others to motivate you to keep moving.
3.) They change routines so that you do not get bored.
4.) They keep you moving, helping you to build your endurance level.
There are also some characteristics that can be a disadvantage if you let them.
1.) Your schedule has to be catered to the class schedule.
2.) You have to follow the class and little room for modification. There are beginner to advance variations to exercises, but you have to keep pace with the class.
3.) The instructor will only be able to provide minimal one on one instruction.
4.) Often provide full body workouts that do not allow you to focus on one or two body parts per workout. My suggestion is that if you go to a gym try some of the classes to see if you can find one or more that fits your needs and make a decision. You can also only choose to only supplement your exercise routine with classes and continue other variations of exercise.
