3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community - Where do you find your motivation to exercise?

Only problem is, I can't seem to force myself to do it. I come home from work and I'm exhausted. Getting up before work to do it doesn't work too well, as it has to be indoor exercise 9 months a year and hubby sleeps later than I do, so I don't want to wake him.

I don't like getting up in the morning in any situation, including to exercise :) and though I've done it in the past, I now exercise after work. Like the others have said, no motivation involved. It's something I need to do, and I take the time for me! I keep my gym bag packed and in the car so I have no excuse. As soon as I get home, I put clean workout clothes in and back into the car it goes. All summer I kept my bicycle in the car so I always had that choice for cardio. I plan my work days so I have a healthy snack about 3:30-4 pm so I'm ready to exercise about 5:15. Do I like cardio? Not especially, but having lively music on my iPod helps. I enjoy weight training a lot more, but I need both, so I do both. Really if you make a plan and a commitment to it, you can do it. And you'll feel better - both mentally and physically.
