do you ever wonder why it is so hard to actually get your but out to work out, but then once you are there you feel great! would’nt you think that from that great feeling we would be going to workout all the time? i wonder this from time to time, mainly when im laying in bed, trying to get the modivation to got t the gym. i have to keep telling myself that i like it and that i will feel good during and after… this works about half the time, the other half, i tire myself out and go back to sleep haha! one thing that i have been doing was watching my favorite tv show while i work out, and i can only watch then! but i caught up to it and for 2 weeks it has been a pain to get to the gym! but, it starts up again today and i can buy it for my tablet tomorrow and work out again!… well, i will have to wait for tuesday because tomorrow i am giving blood and i can not work out. but hey, im saving lives!
let me know what you do to stay modivated!

I know it’s been a long time since I last wrote, but I finally have something to write about. Last night I just could not sleep, I just had so much on my mind, too many worries, and a low self-esteem about myself. So at one am I dragged my butt out of bed and headed to the gym. Crazy I know, but at the same time it as kind of nice, I as all alone and did not have to worry about anyone watching my, how loud my music was or how long I counted, I really got a good work out in! And it really helped me get all my emotions out, I am one to hold everything in until I can’t take it anymore, it felt great to just to get everything out.
Sometimes I wonder if all this stuff that is on my mind is making me lose my motivation. Because I keep making excuses to not work out.
I really should read some self-help articles about the emotional part of weight-loss; it might help keep my motivation and self-esteem up!
Any thoughts?

Soooo today was the first day that I worked out since Wednesday… but hey!! I was sick Thursday and Friday! Well kinda, I could feel it coming so I just relaxed a bit… or maybe a lot! Haha I did not eat very well either… I’m probably going to regret that taco bell I had the other night.
Any way I really needed the motivation this week! I just did not want to do anything! Sometimes I with there was an alarm for working out that would yell at you until you got up and pumped some iron!! … That’s not a bad idea! Patent pending!!!
But I was able to get out tonight! And I tell ya, I’m glad I did. It felt sooo nice. Sometimes I forget how good it feels to actually work up a sweat from hard work! Sure I may have only been on the elliptical for 30 min (don’t eat before you work out your stomach will thank you) but it still felt good!
And something that I do and I recommend this to anyone able to, I watch a TV show on my kindle fire! It is really distracting and makes the time fly! And if it is a really good show i.e. the walking dead, it can really get you heart pumping and you go just that much faster.
Anyway, I need to find something to keep me motivated and stop making excuses for me not to go, I have plenty of time to go after class and I just don’t know why I don’t.
I’m going to try a reward system, I can only do something I like, i.e. tanning, movie, TV show, after/ during a workout! Let’s see how that works.
Any tips on what keeps you motivated? Oh and one more thing! Can cleaning your room count as a work out? Cuz if you saw mine, it would!!
