Where is the d*mn motivation? I am struggling to get into a routine. I can’t believe that I have been having such a hard time getting back into the swing of things. Its not like I havent done it before….any pointers out there?

Check my June 27 blog post. I think the ‘feeling’ of "motivation" is irrelevant & is over-rated. It all boils down to how much you want it, so that determination & persistence will keep you at it. I don’t keep at it because I ‘feel’ motivated (esp with 5am workouts, before work, my only avail time to workout). It’s because the alternative isn’t an option in my mind.
I took almost four years off of working out and the thing that has me motivated is a personal goal. Find something you want and use that to get you going. I hope you found it by now I know how its hard to get on track.

Good luck. YOU CAN DO IT.

The first step is the hardest (routine)…..commit to a week no matter what…the momentum will carry you from there.

Welcome back! Do what you enjoy and do it often, maybe even try a new routine. Try a partner that will motivate you as well.
