How Do You Guys Motivate Yourself To Work Out/stay On Your Diet?

[davesmith420]

Hey guys,

For about the last year and a half my weight has been up a good 10-15 lbs (inb4 Propecia packed weight on you, my weight has been up even before I got on Propecia). Although I'm still not crazy overweight by anymeans but that 15 lbs has totally gave me a little stomach and made my face look fat/not as defined. I can't even stand to look at pictures of myself from 2-3 years ago when I was in my "prime" to how I look today.

So my main question is the title. I had a really nice here write me a workout program to follow but I have been slacking on it. I have also been stressed out with my grad program and have been eating like a slop (drinking A LOT of pop). Tips?

Willpower. Your motivation should be looking at those pics from 2-3 years ago.

You've just got to do it bro, even when you don't feel like it. No getting around that it will require dedication and sacrifice

Get a personal trainer to write up a training program, if it's bulky enough to keep you occupied with new movements and resistance then an hour of exercise will fly by. Make it a mix of core work, weights, and cardio for at least the first month.

Once you start to make progress in terms of fitness, then it's much easier to be dedicated. That breaking point of pain we have to get past suddenly becomes something you long for, when you've broken past it a handful of times or more, you're no longer afraid of it, and the realisation in the moments you're gasping for air or feeling like you're going to black out, they're just brief moments of time and you'll soon feel much better for a way longer period of time. It's a momentary meditation.

But of course, if you're just looking to shed a little weight from body and face, and you really don't like the idea of hitting a breaking point, you don't really have to kill yourself either. Go a little further each day, at a comfortable pace, and it won't take that long to get fit.

Well if you can't dedicate ~3 hours a week to doing something healthy then you are sad.

Just reading back on my own post, forget shedding facial fat from just a bit of running here and there, I'm not sure why I wrote this at the time because I knew it then- you've got to seriously cut your body fat percentage to notice it facially, especially if you're within even 20 or 30 pounds of an "average" weight, you can get down to that average size and your face will still be the same.

But anyway, you got 12 days until new years, do you really want to be another one of those resolution shmo's who don't stand a chance?

Get in a handful of even 20mins cardio or even easier, lifting some weight - with a handy minute's break between each set. That's really not a lot to ask for, and you'll actually start 2017 without caring about what date it is because your body sure won't.

Eat what you want, drink what you want, do what you normally do, but 20mins in the afternoon/evening long after a hangover will make the world of difference within a few weeks.

Who's talking about bodybuilding? 3 hours used correctly can get some great results over a year or so. I'd never have the desire to sacrifice looking like a bodybuilder (no offence anyone) in order to have a 0.1% chance of being somewhat successful at it.

The first sentence I feel puts people off training, this guy just wants to lose a little weight, and maybe you were grown into it without having to adjust, but for 99% of people the reaction is "You want me to do sh*t 24/7? OK I'll sit on the couch". And I've been there.

The workout isn't just the easy part, it's the best part, I have chilled out a bit to not work out 12 hours a week but initially I couldn't get enough, I wanted to work out more, even if my muscles were killing me all week, it was all that mattered.

But it's not 24/7 to get into fitness, maybe you do planks while getting a good 8 hour sleep.

Everyone's different, try to understand that, and god help your 13 year old brother if you go at him with the same attitude as your posts.
