Motivationally challenged…
Well, went to the lake with my son and dad and his wife today. Things have been tough with my focus broken by circumstances beyond my control, taking my neat, tidy, planned out future and turning it upside down to be swept off into the wind. I’m getting through it okay, at least sticking to my diet. Combining workouts now, so i’m not training 4-5 days, but more like 3 until other issues come to resolution. Anyway, all we had to eat for lunch was hot dogs, chips and guacamole. I ate the damn hot dog, though I really didn’t want it, but was surprised at how many chips I ate. Sure, fat free hot dogs and baked chips, cause the folks are scared of dying and such, but felt lousy about eating it. Oh, well, back on track with dinner and a good workout tonight. Going to finish with cardio, which I haven’t done in 2 weeks! Motivation has been poor, but going to go gung ho tonight & get back in the swing. Getting compliments lately, so that will help fuel the fire, cause I want more! Having never really gotten compliments since college on how looking good, I’m hungry for more. Whatever it takes to stay on fire, right? Tonight will be back, hit legs on Thursday, went out Friday, and had too many phone calls Saturday nite, though it did me good to know my friends care that much. Well, nuff said except that I challenge everyone who reads this to send me a motivational comment. What pushes you? Got a good quote? Give me your fuel, I need to push mine up a notch.

I had a motivation problem not to long ago because I was overtraining and was waaaay to busy. I simply changed up my routines and broke them up. For me, 2 hours in the gym 6 days a week is simply out of the question, so now I hit the gym 6 days a week for under an hour and it’s much more manageable. For instance, I hate doing cardio, and I especially hate going 45+ minutes of it. That’s when I found HIIT, and 15 minutes a day is much more reasonable and I actually enjoy it. Switch things up if you need some more motivation.
